Reliable Results — Data That Survives Interruption

• Incremental saving — Every profile is saved the moment it's found. If a run stops mid-way, you keep everything collected so far.
• Automatic deduplication — Same profile URL never appears twice. You never pay for duplicates.
• Retry with backoff — Transient API failures retried automatically (3 attempts with exponential backoff).
• Stable infrastructure — We don't depend on LinkedIn's page structure, so updates don't affect us.

API Integration

Python

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("your_api_token")
run = client.actor("aeonkosmos/linkedin-employee-search").call(run_input={
    "companyName": "Stripe",
    "title": "Engineer",
    "employeeMaxResults": 20
})

for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(f"{item['name']} — {item['url']}")

JavaScript

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'your_api_token' });
const run = await client.actor('aeonkosmos/linkedin-employee-search').call({
    companyName: 'Stripe',
    title: 'Engineer',
    employeeMaxResults: 20
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

cURL

curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/aeonkosmos~linkedin-employee-search/runs" \
  -X POST \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer your_api_token" \
  -d '{"companyName":"Stripe","title":"Engineer","employeeMaxResults":20}'

Tips for Best Results

1. Use exact company names — "National Bank of Canada" not "National Bank"
2. Start with Pattern 1 — broaden only if too few results
3. Use the title filter — "VP Sales" returns better results than no filter
4. Add exclude words — "Intern" removes noise
5. Pattern 5 gives full control — use any search operators you know

---

Limitations (Honest)

• Results are not 100% accurate — may include former employees or loosely related profiles. Manual review recommended.
• Maximum 100 results per search — infrastructure limit
• Returns URLs + basic info only — not full profile data (experience, education, skills, email)
• No email enrichment — pair with an email finder tool if needed
• Results come from publicly indexed data — very new profiles may not appear yet

FAQ

Q: How is this different from a LinkedIn scraper? A: We never touch LinkedIn's servers. We find profiles through publicly indexed data — LinkedIn can't block what doesn't hit their infrastructure.

Q: How do I find employees of a company on LinkedIn? A: Enter the company name, optionally add a job title filter, and run the search. Results include name, headline, photo, and LinkedIn URL for each employee found.

Q: Can I search without a LinkedIn account? A: Yes — that's exactly what this tool does. No LinkedIn account, cookies, or login credentials needed.

Q: How many employees can I find per company? A: Up to 100 per country. With multi-country search (e.g., us, uk, de), each country gets its own limit — 3 countries × 100 = up to 300 profiles.

Q: What about bulk search? A: Use the bulk mode to search up to 100 companies in a single run. One company per line, with optional title and location per line.
