That is one thing, however they describe the mechanisms you need, for example the fact that it is based on OAuth. And OAuth is a topic which is frequently discussed on these boards, there may be related articles in the Wiki too.

I implemented my own OAuth authentication for Instagram.
I can not call it an API, it is like a hack, after sniffing a real connection and recreating a similar mechanism based on HttpConnection, cookies, and so on.
If you want to get inspired, see the method "login" in the following file:

I think it is possible to make this mechanism more general, towards a J2ME OAuth API. Maybe after your Linkedin authentication

On Github, there are two more projects which could be a starting point:
