❓ Frequently asked questions

Do I need LinkedIn cookies?

No. This actor is built for public LinkedIn profile pages and does not require cookies.

Does it scrape private profiles?

No. It only works with publicly accessible profile data.

Can I run multiple profile URLs at once?

Yes. Bulk input is supported by default.

When do results appear?

Successful results are pushed progressively during the run, so you can start consuming output before the full batch completes.

Why is email empty for some profiles?

Email discovery is best effort. The actor scans public company website pages, so some profiles will not produce an email candidate.

Why is mobile number empty?

Mobile enrichment requires your own external provider. Without it, mobileNumber remains empty.

What happens if some profiles fail?

Failed profiles are excluded from the main dataset and stored separately as errors, so your result set stays clean.
