No US Data in LinkedIn_Universities #1

Open dlink opened 10 years ago

dlink commented 10 years ago

Hello akeda,

This looks like a nice project. I am interested in Databases of Universities. Are you still working on this?

There appear to be no US Universities in linkedin_universities.

select count(*) from linkedin_universities where country_id = 840;

And some are miss categorized:

New York University is showing country_id 8 (Albania)

Thanks, David Link Putnam Valley, NY

Hi @dlink,

This looks like a nice project. I am interested in Databases of Universities. Are you still working on this?

Unfortunately I don't have time to maintain this project. It was used for my project 6 years ago.

Actually it would be awesome to make the database available via REST, but still allow anyone to contribute.

Looks like linkedIn APIs have changed. The URL you have listed in linkedin.py no longer works.

Hi @dlink,

Just out of curiosity, for what purpose you're going to use the database?

Hi Akeda,

I was interested in using it to augment data we are using from MDR, and from IPEDs, for our online College Education Learning. What did you develop it for?

Thanks, David

I used it for HTTP endpoint that other internal apps can consume.
