To get the linkedin recommendations, you need to do the following:

  1. Authenticate the user via OAuth.
  2. Retrieve the profile data by making an API call.

To retrieve educations, recommendationsReceived, skills, twitterAccounts along with user profile data, your API call would be:

https://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~:(id,first-name,skills,educations,recommendations-received,twitter-accounts)?format=json
