Frequently Asked Questions

How does the free trial work?

Every user can test the Actor with up to 2 profiles per execution at no charge. When you run on a paid Apify plan, runs export up to your requested maxProfiles with full bulk capabilities.

Are results delivered live or at the end of the run?

Results stream item by item. As soon as a profile is captured and its email is verified, the record is immediately written to your dataset and sent to your webhook.

Can I configure a maximum spend limit?

Yes. Apify platform controls let you configure spending limits per run. When your limit is reached, the Actor finishes gracefully, exports what was collected, and sets a clean summary status.

Can I run this Actor in bulk?

Yes. Paste dozens or thousands of LinkedIn profile URLs or username slugs in profileUrls. The actor handles continuous execution reliably with automatic geo-targeted connection management.
