LinkedIn Profile Scraper - No Cookies, No Login

Scrape public LinkedIn profiles without cookies, without a LinkedIn account and without logging in. Paste profile URLs and the Actor returns one clean row per person: name, headline, location, about, current job title and company, the full experience with dates, education, skills, languages, certifications, followers, connections and the latest posts. Schedule it and it flags job changes, so you can trigger sales or recruiting workflows when someone moves.

The Actor reads the public profile page that LinkedIn shows to logged-out visitors, so your own LinkedIn account is never at risk. You pay $0.003 per profile.

What you get

One Dataset row per profile:

• name, headline, location, countryCode, about, profilePicture, badges (Creator, Top Voice...).
• currentTitle, currentCompany, currentCompanyUrl.
• experience: title, company, company URL, location, start and end date (2014-02), current, duration and description of every position.
• education: school, degree, field of study and years.
• skills, languages, certifications.
• followers (exact), connections (500 means 500+).
• recentPosts (URL, date, text, likes, comments) and articles.
• changed: true when the job title, company, headline or location changed since the previous run.

Profiles that are private or hidden from logged-out visitors return a row with an error field and are not charged.

How to use it

1. Open the Input tab.
2. Paste profile URLs in Profile URLs, one per line: https://www.linkedin.com/in/satyanadella, https://es.linkedin.com/in/someone or just satyanadella.
3. Click Start and export the rows as JSON, CSV or Excel.
4. To get job change alerts, schedule the Actor (for example weekly) and connect a webhook or integration to the rows with changed: true.

FAQ

Do I need a LinkedIn account or cookies? No. The Actor only reads what LinkedIn shows publicly to logged-out visitors.

Does it return emails or phone numbers? No, they are not part of the public profile.

Why do some fields come back empty? LinkedIn hides some sections (or the whole profile) from logged-out visitors depending on each member's privacy settings.

Is it legal? It reads only public data. You are responsible for using personal data lawfully (for example GDPR in the EU): have a legitimate purpose and respect people's rights.

Where is the data stored between runs? In a Key-Value Store of your account named micro-saas-state-linkedin-profile, one key per profile. Delete it to start fresh.
