Assuming LinkedIn OAuth2 and Django, the access token is stored in the UserSocialAuth instance corresponding to linkedin-oauth2, to get it you can do:

access_token = user.social_auth.filter(provider='linkedin-oauth2')[0].access_token

With that token you can call any of the LinkedIn APIs that the scope allows you to do.
