You need to register your app with LinkedIn and get their approval (they call it vetted access) to be able to use people search.

Check https://developer.linkedin.com/documents/people-search-api

    @Cgraphics According to [this](https://developer.linkedin.com/blog/posts/2015/developer-program-changes) post, People Search API will no longer be available after May 12th, 2015. So, the documentation for it is no longer available. – YAM Feb 20 '15 at 17:04

I work at SerpApi and we recently added LinkedIn Public Search Results Scraper API . You can check out this example in playground. Response for a profile found contains name, occupation, location, last_job, last education thumbnail and link.

LinkedIn's People Search API has not been available to the open developer community since May, 2015.
