I am using this python3 Linkedin API:
https://github.com/DEKHTIARJonathan/python3-linkedin#production-authentication
I have 4 permissions on my profile:
r_basicprofile
r_emailaddress
rw_company_admin
rw_share
Even though this API seems to have nearly everything, I can't figure out how to get a member's email address.
For example when I query my own profile, (through the .get_profile() function), I don't get my email address. I looked through the API code and there doesn't seem to be a way to get a profile's email address.
For people who've used this API, how do you get a profile's email address? Because I can't produce even my own profile's email address
GET http://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~:(email-address)
this api-call will give you a users email.

Currently we are using AWS SES to send an authentication email to the user. (This email is not related to the usual login/register authentication, it's our own)
The email address is entered by the user and we are sending one and only one email per email address.
This leads to many bounced emails and AWS suspended our service (around 9000 sent emails and 15% bounce rate).
My question:
How to deal with this problem? Users will mistype their email all the time. There is no way to verify if an email is valid without sending an actual email, right? That means that all SMTP providers will suspend our ability to send emails sooner or later.
Using nodejs to send the email but that is not really relevant I think.
Check the bounces by adding a sns topic and subscribe to it to get more information when bounces emails. (It's not always because of faulty email)
Ask users to enter their email address twice
There are some services out there that you can pass email addresses to that will give you a classification as to how likely the address is to be a “good” address
Here is a document from AWS which describes your problem:

I want to get the email address of the logged in user, not the email address of the profile. I am using chrome.identity.getProfileUserInfo in my extension popup. It works fine when I a user is logged in, I get the email address. But it also gives me the email address when i am not logged in. I guess the profile is not dependent on the login status?
I am concerned with getting the wrong email address on a shared machine. How can I be sure that I am only getting the email address of the person sitting at the keyboard?
There are a few questions on individual components of "Sign in with Google" floating around, but I can't find any that refer to the current API (as of July 2015).
I have a "Log In with Gmail" option in my webapp, and I'd like to retrieve:
All emails that I've ever sent and received (if possible)
A list of all my contacts
A list of all my contacts' profile pictures (and any other info that may be possible, like location, gender, age etc)
Right now, in my oAuth login I use the following scope:
['profile', 'email','https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile', 'https://www.google.com/m8/feeds']
Then once I have my oAuth token, I make the following API call:
https://www.google.com/m8/feeds/contacts/default/full?max-results=10000&alt=json&oauth_token={{token}}
This give me a list of contact emails and associated names, but no pictures (at least that I can find) and no other info about contacts.
I'd also like to be able to download all of the user's sent/received emails, I understand that I have to do this via IMAP but I can only find NodeJS implementations that require a username and passwords. Is it possible to do using an oAuth token?
Ideally I'd like to do this all with the one oAuth call, as I'm building an email analysis tool.
Gmail provides an HTTP API you can use to access all of a user's sent and received emails.
The Contacts API is basically only information the user has manually entered for the contact. Most users aren't going to be entering age and gender and contacts will only have locations if the user treats it like a traditional address book.
If you want to get something more like a social profile you might want to check out the Google+ people.list API. You will have to find a way to correlate between contacts and Google+ profiles but Google+ profiles are more likely to have photos demographics data.
At my company, we are implementing some parts of DocuSign, and have run across a scenario we believe the REST API does not support.
There are times where user's in our system change email addresses. We want to push this change to DocuSign for the user, without the user ever requiring to log in to DocuSign and manually change their email address via the console. This, of course, changes the username the user authenticates with on the login page of DocuSign.
Is it possible, using the DocuSign REST API, to change a user's email address (which in effect changes their login name do DocuSign)?
The DocuSign system does not support changing the email address through the API (REST or SOAP). This is mainly due to security restrictions - unfortunately your users will need to manually go into the DocuSign Console and go to Preferences to change their email address.
One thing that might make this process a little smoother is to automatically open the Console for your users when they request to change their email address. You can open the Console in an embedded iFrame in your site or app and from there they can change their account info. You would just need the user's credentials (along with the integrator key of the integration) and you can open the console for them.
The third API Walkthrough - Embedded DocuSign Console - illustrates exactly how to do this in 6 different languages (PHP, Java, Javascript, Python, C#, and Objective-C). You just need to make the following call from your environment, with just your accountId in the body of the POST request:
Method
POST
URI
/accounts/{accountId}/views/console
BODY
{
"accountId": "XXXXXX"
}
I have my web app working in azure. What I would like is to be able to send emails from xxx#mydomain.com. Is that possible using SendGrid?
For example, if I use gmail's smtp, emails are sent from the email address specified in the NetworkCredentials user name, even if in the MailMessage I use a different email address.
If I use SendGrid instead, will emails come from the user name created by azure or will I be able to achieve this?
You will be able to send email from whatever address you want, just specify the correct from address (e.g. xxx#mydomain.com) when sending the email.
You will need to use what SendGrid calls "Whitelabels":
To access this page, log into https://app.sendgrid.com/ then click on Settings > Whitelabels > Domains:
SendGrid will then ask you to enter 3 CNAME records to prove that you own/ have authorised access to that domain.
