I'm using java and I'm able to get the user access token. However I can not fetch data from linkedin. Here is my code:

F.Promise<WS.Response> res2 =WS.url("http://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~:(first-name,last-name,positions,picture-url)")
  .setQueryParameter("Authorization","Bearer "+access_token)
get();

But I get Unknown authentication scheme error. I also tried setHeader instead of setQueryParameter but same thing! please help!!

Use https instead of http. Also you are mixing headers with query parameters. Use only one. If you want to use headers you can do so with:

setHeader("Authorization", "Bearer " + accessToken)

if you want to use a query parameter:

setQueryParameter("oauth2_access_token", accessToken)
