Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## LinkedIn Followers Export LinkedIn Followers Export extracts follower records from a LinkedIn profile using an authenticated session. It returns structured follower-level data such as names, profile URLs, profile identifiers, profile images, headlines, company names, and follower counts, making it useful for audience analysis and profile-level enrichment workflows. Built on the Apify platform, this Actor supports scheduling, webhooks, and dataset exports. ### Use cases - Export follower lists for audience research and segmentation - Enrich follower records with profile metadata for CRM or prospecting workflows - Analyze the composition of a creator, company, or personal profile audience - Track follower exports across repeated runs in structured datasets ### How to use LinkedIn Followers Export 1. Open the Actor on Apify 2. Enter the target LinkedIn profile URL, extraction limit, and authenticated session fields 3. Start the run 4. Review the dataset output for exported follower records ### Input This Actor accepts the fields required to export followers through an authenticated LinkedIn session. ### Proxy object Use the proxy object to define how requests should be routed. Common fields are: - `ip` - Proxy host or endpoint URL - `port` - Proxy port - `username` - Proxy username - `password` - Proxy password ### Example input ```json { "liProfileUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/example-profile/", "maxCountLiFollowerExport": 10, "connectedAccountId": "example_connected_account_id", "profileId": "example-profile-id", "li_at": "example_li_at", "JSESSIONID": "ajax:example", "bcookie": "example_bcookie", "liap": "true", "li_theme_set": "app", "li_theme": "light", "timezone": "Asia/Kolkata", "bscookie": "example_bscookie", "user-agent": "Mozilla/5.0 ...", "timezoneOffset": "5.5", "csrf-token": "example_csrf-token", "User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0 ...", "x-li-track": "{\"clientVersion\":\"1.13.455\"}", "x-li-lang": "en_US", "X-Restli-Protocol-Version": "2.0.0", "txSmSelfProfileUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/example-self/", "proxy": { "ip": "http://proxy.example.com", "port": "1080", "username": "example_username", "password": "example_password" } } ```` ### Output The Actor writes the action result to the default dataset. ### Example output ```json { "success": true, "response": [ { "inputMaxCountLiFollowerExport": "10", "totalResultCount": 2, "firstName": "Example", "lastName": "Follower", "fullName": "Example Follower", "liProfileUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/ACoAAExampleFollowerProfile?miniProfileUrn=urn%3Ali%3Afs_miniProfile%3AACoAAExampleFollowerProfile", "liProfileId": "ACoAAExampleFollowerProfile", "liMemberUrn": "123456789", "profileImageUrl": "https://media.licdn.com/dms/image/v2/example-follower-photo", "headline": "Software Engineer | Distributed Systems | APIs", "jobTitle": "Software Engineer | Distributed Systems | APIs", "companyName": "Example Labs", "following": true, "followersCount": 1600, "timestamp": "2026-06-29T00:00:00.000Z" }, { "inputMaxCountLiFollowerExport": "10", "totalResultCount": 2, "fullName": "Another Example", "firstName": "Another", "lastName": "Example", "liProfileUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/ACoAAAnotherExample?miniProfileUrn=urn%3Ali%3Afs_miniProfile%3AACoAAAnotherExample", "liProfileId": "ACoAAAnotherExample", "liMemberUrn": "987654321", "profileImageUrl": "https://media.licdn.com/dms/image/v2/example-second-follower-photo", "headline": "Project Development Manager at Example Co", "jobTitle": "Project Development Manager", "companyName": "Example Co", "following": true, "followersCount": 665, "timestamp": "2026-06-29T00:00:00.000Z" } ] } ``` ### Pricing / Cost estimation $0.0017 per 50 result items. ### Support If you need adjustments for your workflow, use the Actor Issues tab or your internal support channel. # Actor input Schema ## `liProfileUrl` (type: `string`): LinkedIn profile URL to export followers from.
