I work at SerpApi and we recently added LinkedIn Public Search Results Scraper API . You can check out this example in playground. Response for a profile found contains name, occupation, location, last_job, last education thumbnail and link.

LinkedIn's People Search API has not been available to the open developer community since May, 2015.

You can apply to be a developer partner at: https://developer.linkedin.com/partner-programs/apply

You need to register your app with LinkedIn and get their approval (they call it vetted access) to be able to use people search.

Check https://developer.linkedin.com/documents/people-search-api
