Rails 4, integrating Linkedin API

I am creating a simple Rails app that uses Linkedin for authentication and should in principle display some linkedin profile information on the user's profile in my rails app. I haven't had much luck with the linkedin gem. I am using omniauth and devise. Has anyone tried this before (using external APIs with rails)?
