There API has changed to version 2 so the usage for the Profile API would now be.

https://api.linkedin.com/v2/people-search:first-name=bill&last-name=gates

you can find more information about their Profile API v2 here

You will be needing an access token to access there profile api, without the auth key you will get

{"serviceErrorCode":401,"message":"Empty oauth2 access token","status":401}
