With the new r_liteprofile is it possible to know the authenticated user's LinkedIn profile URL?

Viewed 314

We're using Sign in with LinkedIn, which is deprecating the r_basicprofile scope that offered the profile URL. I don't see a way to get this information using the new r_liteprofile scope. Was that intentionally left out? It seems odd that LinkedIn wouldn't want to drive people back to their own site.

Deadlock :) or just changes of LinkedIn policies.

According this tiny article Public Profile Url you have to use vanityName which is available from r_basicprofile which is not going to be deprecated but available only for Enterprise LinkedIn users :(
