sending invitation using linkedin gem

Can I use linkedi开发者_如何学Cn gem to send invitation by email??

looks like you can not, yet. From the Readme:

TODO

Change to json api

Update and correct test suite

Change to Faraday for authentication

Implement Messaging APIs

config/initializers/linkedin.rb

LinkedIn::Client.class_eval do
  def send_invitation(options)
    path = "/people/~/mailbox"
    message = {
      "recipients" => {
        "values" => [
          {
            "person" => {
              "_path" => "/people/email=#{options[:email]}",
              "first-name" => options[:first_name],
              "last-name" => options[:last_name]
            }
          }]
      },
      "subject" => "Invitation to connect.",
      "body" => options[:body],
      "item-content" => {
        "invitation-request" => {
          "connect-type" => "friend"
        }
      }
    }
    post(path, message.to_json, "Content-Type" => "application/json")
  end
end

use like any other gem methods

client.send_invitation({:email=>"email", :first_name=>"first name", :last_name=>"last name", :body=>"body"})

LinkedIn::Client.class_eval do
  def send_invitation(options)
    path = "/people/~/mailbox"
    message = {
      "recipients" => {
        "values" => [
          {
            "person" => {
              "_path" => "/people/#{options[:id]}",
              "first-name" => options[:first_name],
              "last-name" => options[:last_name]
            }
          }]
      },
      "subject" => "Invitation to connect.",
      "body" => options[:body],
      "item-content" => {
        "invitation-request" => {
          "connect-type" => "friend",
          "authorization" => {:"name" => 'NAME_SEARCH',:"value" => 'Mjwh'}
        }
      }
    }
    post(path, MultiJson.dump(message), "Content-Type" => "application/json")
  end
end

invite people should be add "authorization" => {:"name" => 'NAME_SEARCH',:"value" => 'Mjwh'} from the searched people

client.search(:fields => [{ :people => %w(id first-name last-name api-standard-profile-request)}],:'first-name' => params["first_name"])
