Here is another example for accessing LinkedIn’s API’s in XPages. This example contains code for performing a people search within your network.
I will include the example later in the next release of LinkedIn controls.

Custom control ccLinkedInAPIKey you can find in the LinkedIn controls project.
Without any styling your result could look something similar like this:
