Description

It maybe possible to send an http request to the http://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=USER_ID URL and its response be the URL to the users profile, which contains username then extract the username from it. This would prevent rate limiting issues with translating user id to username. The username could then be used in other widgets such as the embeded timeline.

Sending HTTP request appears to work fine. New header is set as the result and the new location can be parsed from it using regext to grab the username.
