LinkedIn API: unexpected industry values returned -
we're developing app uses linkedin api sign in , retrieve profile information. 1 part of profile information require industry, part of basic profile information described on page:
https://developer.linkedin.com/docs/fields/basic-profile
as understand values returned should 1 of descriptions on page:
https://developer.linkedin.com/docs/reference/industry-codes
however, profiles receiving values aren't in list, , aren't particularly friendly looking. example 'computer_software'.
why value being returned?
would safe assume can replace underscores spaces, , correct capitalisation correct value?
finally, if above won't work build mapping table, there cases multiple different values returned same industry? e.g. 'computer_software' , 'computer_software' returned instead of 'computer software'? in other words, mapping table need 1 many, or 1 one suffice?
many thanks, ian
