In late 2009, LinkedIn opened up its API to allow select developers make applications that tap into LinkedIn's social network. The professional social network released nearly a dozen APIs which gave third-party developers the ability to access user profile information, message LinkedIn contacts, search LinkedIn and more. Over 1,000 developers tested the platform, which has served one billion page views since November 2009. Today, LinkedIn is opening up access to the network's new platform to all developers. The network is releasing support for OAuth 2.0 and Javascript APIs, as well as access to LinkedIn's new customizable Plugins, which are features that can be customized and embedded on websites with minimal effort. The idea behind plugins is to give developers are more lightweight way to embed LinkedIn functionality and data on third-party sites. ALl of the plugins can be integrated onto websites with just a few lines of javascript and are customizable, says LinkedIn engineer Adam Nash. For example, LinkedIn's Member Profile plugins brings a snippet of user profiles to a third-party site and can show users who they know within an application in a professional context. Company Profile plugin delivers at-a-glance summaries of companies on LinkedIn's network, including location, number of employees and more.
