'Access to #LinkedIn Contacts API and Connections API
How exactly can I get access to #LinkedIn Contacts API and Connections API? I would appreciate a list of steps, and probability of success. I have asked LinkedIn help about this and they told me to use StackOverflow. Thanks.

These APIs are private. Nobody can guarantee that you will get access to them, and if you don't have a good reason to have access to them, you almost definitely will not get access.
That being said, there are ways to apply for access. Notably, setting up a business page and creating an app will get you access to non-restricted APIs.
To get access to Contacts and Connections specifically (which are both restricted APIs), you will have to apply for access. Once again, in terms of guaranteeing your application's acceptance, it is impossible to say whether or not (for certain) you will or will not get in.
There is no set of steps that will guarantee access.
