Input

{
  "profileUrls": [
    "https://www.linkedin.com/in/satyanadella/",
    "https://www.linkedin.com/in/williamhgates/"
  ],
  "extractFullName": true,
  "extractBio": true,
  "extractFollowers": true,
  "extractEmail": false,
  "maxConcurrency": 5,
  "timeout": 90
}

Field	Type	Default	Description

maxConcurrency	int	5	Parallel requests (max: 20, recommended 5–10)
timeout	int	90	Timeout per profile in seconds

Output

{
  "success": true,
  "inputUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/satyanadella/",
  "username": "satyanadella",
  "fullName": "Satya Nadella",
  "bio": "Chairman and CEO of Microsoft...",
  "location": "Redmond, Washington, United States",
  "followerCount": 12000000,
  "website": "https://snscratchpad.com/",

}

Output contains only the fields you enabled. Disabled fields are omitted.

• username is the LinkedIn handle (the /in/<handle> part of the URL).
• Count fields (followerCount, followingCount, postCount) are numbers; if a count isn't public it comes back as null.

Pricing — pay per result, cheaper on higher tiers

You pay only for profiles successfully scraped. Failed or empty profiles are free — no runaway bills.

Apify plan tier	Price / 1,000 profiles	Price / profile
Free	$2.00	$0.0020
Bronze	$2.00	$0.0020
Silver	$1.80	$0.0018
Gold	$1.60	$0.0016
Platinum	$1.40	$0.0014
Diamond	$1.20	$0.0012

Higher subscription tiers pay less per profile. Free Apify credits cover roughly 2,500 profiles/month. No subscriptions, no monthly fees.

Use cases

• B2B lead generation — pull fresh prospect data straight into your CRM.
• Recruiting — current headlines, locations and follower signals.
• Sales outreach — enrich a list of LinkedIn URLs before you send.
• CRM hygiene — refresh stale LinkedIn records in bulk.
• Market research — live follower counts and industry data.

Integrations (n8n, Make, MCP, AI agents)

Run it from the Apify API, schedule it, or wire it into n8n / Make with the Apify nodes. Because output is clean JSON, it drops straight into AI agents and MCP workflows that need fresh LinkedIn data on demand.

Performance

• 15–30 seconds per profile (real-time scraping, not an instant cache lookup).
• Up to 20 concurrent requests; recommended 5–10 for the best success rate.
• Transient hiccups are retried automatically, so a busy run won't hang or fail the whole batch.
• ~95%+ success rate on public profiles.

FAQ

Do I need a LinkedIn account or cookies? No. The Actor reads public profile pages — no login, no cookies, no account-ban risk.

Is the data live or cached? Live. Each profile is scraped in real time, so follower counts, bios and links are current.

Can it get emails and phone numbers? Only if they're publicly visible on the profile, which is rare on LinkedIn. Enable those fields only if you need them.

Why is it cheaper than other LinkedIn scrapers? It focuses on the core public fields (no heavy full-CV extraction), so it's faster and we pass the savings on.

What if a profile fails? It's retried automatically; if it still can't be scraped it's marked failed and you are not charged for it.

Notes

• Only public profile data is extracted.
• Restricted profiles may return partial data.
• Recommended concurrency: 5–10 for best results.
