quote_from_bytes() expected bytes

[yiakwy]

1. Firstly, the package on Pypi doesn't work, but of course the version on Github can work.
2. Secondly, we I start the example/http_api.py as server, and then visit localhost in my brower, following errors happen inside:

---

TypeError: quote_from_bytes() expected bytes

Wish your help

This is happening because an older version is pushing bytes, I have fixed this by changes in the linked.py file.

Change line 109 in linkedin.py:

for k, v in list(qd.items()): qsl.append('%s=%s' % (quote(k), quote(v))) return self.AUTHORIZATION_URL, '&'.join(qsl)

hi, I modify the codes and provide a thrid party based authentication app by using my insights about django auth. I will share with you later. I think this version could help more people to use ur app. because they can use in this way

@linked_grant_require your view function

Great, I'd love to see the authentication method you are using. I am running into an issue with step 3 on auth now with linkedin.

[yiakwy]

Here is the current version I used, please check doc shared with you​ linked_in 3.zip https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxbR2jt9XyxtaWNFblkydkg2OHM/view?usp=drive_web ​.

I haven't submit pull request yet. (examination pending sadly $_$). But I will try to do it soon unless you can do it soon. Several modified version of your linkedin api will be provided after my examination. For this django support, you just refer to my two main code: in_profile.auth.backend % auth controlling in_profile.auth.decorator % session controlling, redirect, trigger python-linkedin api, add api entry to authorised users.

View.LinkedinProfileView gives you an example how to use it.

third_party.ajax and relevant js files provide a valid login utility for session environment testing support.

Wish these could help you for your further design of the api!

HI Lei, I got the file and I will look over it this weekend, (but I'm not Ozgur :)) Thanks for sending it!

[yiakwy]

Hi all, I'm still getting the same error. Checked linkedin.py and seems like it is not fixed.

just comment out some linkedin services ^_^ new api has disabled several services if u are not in partner programme

[pinkeshdarji]

Hello @yiakwy I want to run this python-linkedin in my pyramid project. How do i do that. I am also getting same issue as TypeError: quote_from_bytes() expected bytes Please help.

[yiakwy]

@pinkeshdarji Hi, first of the first, You need to keep an eye on recent update of linkedin api. What I did before (one year ago) is to change it according to the latest version of Linkedin api. What was the change of api then? Linkedin announced to terminate supports for customer, company apis and so on. That means that only permitted partners who pass to be involved with partnership programme with linkedin could access tho those apis. so you need to mute some api entries wroted by ozgur. You can refer to the codes I provided. If it didn't work, you might as well go back to Linkedin Doc to see neweast updates. Hope this helps!

[dBenedek]

For me this helped:

Changing the def authorization_url(self) function in the linkedin.py file:

def authorization_url(self):
        qd = {'response_type': 'code',
              'client_id': self.key,
              'scope': (' '.join(self.permissions)).strip(),
              'state': self.state or self._make_new_state(),
              'redirect_uri': self.redirect_uri}
        # urlencode uses quote_plus when encoding the query string so,
        # we ought to be encoding the qs by on our own.
        #qsl = ['%s=%s' % (str(quote(k)), str(quote(v))) for k, v in qd.items()]
        qsl = []
        for k, v in list(qd.items()):
            qsl.append('%s=%s' % (quote(str(k)), quote(str(v))))
        return '%s?%s' % (self.AUTHORIZATION_URL, '&'.join(qsl))
