I want to find out profile's previous employment details. I have tried as per the LinkedIn's API given below.

https://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/id={id}:(id,first-name,last-name,headline,picture-url,public-profile-url,industry,three-current-positions,three-past-positions,positions)?format=json&oauth2_access_token={tokenvalue}"

Here in above request, "id" is 1st degree connection. Then also I am never returns with the desired information after tried many times.

Can any one guide me what should I do?

LinkedIn says here that it only supports retrieving the r_basicprofile fields from an application.

https://developer.linkedin.com/documents/profile-fields

For members other than the ones using your application, you may only retrieve the profile fields available with the r_basicprofile member permission.

Since three-current-positions and three-past-positions is part of the Full Profile (r_fullprofile), I don't think it's currently possible to get those fields for a user using the Profile API.

Unless it's for the current requesting user, ie: https://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~:(id,first-name,last-name,headline,picture-url,public-profile-url,industry,three-current-positions,three-past-positions,positions
