Handling of linkedin 5xx errors

[scheparev-moberries]

I'me getting attribute error on 502 response from linkedin, and the lib is failing to raise a handleable exception. Here is the traceback

HTTPError: 502 Server Error: internal error - server connection terminated for url: https://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~:(id,email-address,headline,first-name,last-name,location,positions,picture-url,picture-urls::(original),public-profile-url)?oauth2_access_token=AQWwKxEgXMV4ydxOs9BAD7z2lrPk-9PDq97eMyfCHENdvmNwtPekhTjCz6UPhxf7Wqq7rsyb_lLlOxKfjFK6ErpjfVOx-ZoM8_YgXPTnMh1roZ0Q_LwAggCiQ99MmfIBp-_idV0CbA1Sbuh94gpMqRpqrSiA4gPE0S8b0TCtHBwfGY1FsAJaaV-F3cMU7CGj9RPdA1HOvI5agBeQsTz6sVHWT9JbiXqjdNC0cfhpu9PqJlLzuhKoQTXF_wKvz0KgFTPhwyLUc0qHBef2qh9h-KrAj4AoivmgZUq1Jl11m5igmXoTPNAOAg3QIbIc15C4zTz3kEgiwk2N1wGALM5KbRGI9kDMiQ&format=json

Can you give us the code you are using ?

[scheparev-moberries]

sure

client = LinkedInApplication(token=self.access_token)
...
try:
    return client.get_profile(selectors=[
                'id',
                'email-address',
                'headline',
                'first-name',
                'last-name',
                'location',
                'positions',
                'picture-url',
                'picture-urls::(original)',
                'public-profile-url'])
except linkedin.LinkedInError as ex:
    ...

I suggest that you try to retrieve all the information one by one in order to find out which one fails. The LinkedIn API is not really well documented, I have no idea which one is not functioning and I don't have the time to check it.

Please give use some feedback once you have found out.
