A LinkedIn API is coming soon. I can’t believe it’s taken so long.

LinkedIn hasn’t disclosed exactly when the API will be readily available but the company does say that the API will eventually be accessible to any and all developers sometime in the next year. The API will provide access to information in profiles, connections, search, network updates, and the “company insider” (its news article service).

Considering I have the majority of my important business contacts locked up in LinkedIn I’m very excited about this. We’re going to be looking at this very carefully for at least 2 projects Nitobi is currently working on, JumpNote and Jiibe. Hurry up, knock down those walls and let us into your garden!
