title: LinkedIn API - get information about my ALL Connections
body: <p>I have used Facebook API but I am new to Linkedin api. </p>
  
  <p>I need some help on how to get information (name, birthday, etc) about my ALL Connections, and I need help with both the token and the info-related API calls.</p>
  
  <p>As for the token -- in Facebook there is the Facebook <a href="https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer">Console</a> to generate tokens at runtime and test our API calls... Does LinkedIn have something similar?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Update:</strong> I'm able to get list of connections using:</p>
  
  <pre><code>http://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~/connections?modified=new
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>... but how can I also get birthdates (if shared publicly)? I've attempted:</p>
  
  <pre><code>http://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~/connections:(headline,first-name,last-name,date-of-birth)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>...however, that shows me the first and last name but NOT the date of birth.</p>
