LinkedIn API get all employees in company?

Question

Is it possible to get a list of all employees in a company? Not only in the current users network. Like this search returns:

http://api.linkedin.com/v1/people-search?company-name=Apple

This is possible on the main LinkedIn site so i can't see why it wouldn't be in the API?

Solution

You can use the 'company-name' field selector and set the 'current-company' field selector to True in order to retrieve employees in your network:

GET http://api.linkedin.com/v1/people-search?company-name=Apple&current-company=true

This will fetch all employees at Apple who are currently working there.

But ,People Search API is a part of LinkedIn's Vetted API Access Program. You must apply here and get LinkedIn's approval before using this API.
