🥢 Which LinkedIn Actor should I use?

There are a couple of LinkedIn Actors on Apify. Make sure you only use Anchor's actors for better safety and quality results. Also, you may be wondering which Actors you need, so read below:

Scraping small amounts

When you need to gather data of less than 50 records per day, you can rely on Actors that require your LinkedIn cookies. These actors will “act as you”, so be careful. You will need the following actors:

• You have a few LinkedIn people URLs, now looking for their information like job, description, skills…: LinkedIn x GPT
• You have a few LinkedIn people URLs that you want to filter out using a ChatGPT prompt: LinkedIn x GPT

Scraping big amounts

When you need to gather data, like more than 50 records per day, it's recommended to avoid using your LinkedIn cookies. You will need the following actors:

• Looking for many LinkedIn company URLs: Mass company finder
• Looking for many LinkedIn people URLs: Mass people finder (this actor).
• You have many LinkedIn people URLs, now looking for their information like job, description, skills…: Mass profile scraper

By chaining these LinkedIn actors, you can:

• Find LinkedIn company URLs at scale.
• Find LinkedIn people URLs associated with those companies.
• Enrich LinkedIn profiles with detailed information for recruiting, sales, or research.

🔌 Integration

Use the results of this Actor automatically via the Apify API. See API v2 docs or Webhooks docs.

• n8n: Use the HTTP Request node to start a run and the Apify or HTTP node to pull dataset items, or receive items via webhooks for stream processing. You can easily map the linkedinUrl and mySearch fields into Google Sheets, CRMs, or ATS tools.
• Make: Use the HTTP module to start a run and “Get a file/JSON” to pull dataset items, or receive items via Make Webhooks for stream processing.
• Zapier: Use “Webhooks by Zapier” to catch Apify webhooks on “dataset item created” or “run succeeded,” then map fields to your CRM/Sheets. You can also start runs with a POST action.
