Parsing out information from a LinkedIn profile using VB Script

Does anyone have an example that parses out the information from a LinkedIn profile using VB开发者_开发问答Script? I have a database which contains client information, and I have been including the client Key for LinkedIn in hopes of having it automatically update some or possibly all of the information for that client.

Not sure what you want out of there, but you'll want to use the Microsoft XMLHTTP request object. My syntax may be a little rusty, and you should add error handling, but that looks roughly like this (complete reference easy to find on Google):

dim url, contents
dim xmlhttp_o
set xmlhttp_o = createobject( "microsoft.xmlhttp" )

'* generate complete url with the keys in your db *'
url = "http://linkedin.com/<whatever...>"

xmlhttp_o.open "get", url, false
xmlhttp_o.send

contents = xmlhttp_o.responsetext

At that point, contents contains the HTML of the page you want on LinkedIn. A little string manipulation can get out whatever you want.
