🔗 LinkedIn Profile Scraper (No Login, No Cookies)

Paste LinkedIn profile links and get one clean row per person: name, headline, location, followers, connections, current company, jobs with dates, education, skills, about text, articles, recent posts and similar profiles. No LinkedIn account, no cookies, no third-party API key. Export to JSON/CSV/Excel, run on a schedule, call via API, or connect to Make, Zapier or n8n.

What a run costs: $0.008 per saved profile on the Free plan, $0.0072 on Bronze, $0.0068 on Silver, $0.0064 on Gold, $0.006 on Platinum and $0.0056 on Diamond. A profile that LinkedIn does not show, a link that is no profile and a profile that stayed unreadable are not charged.

🔎 What is the LinkedIn Profile Scraper?

It reads the public profile page LinkedIn shows a logged-out visitor, the same page a recruiter sees when they open a profile from a Google result, and turns it into structured data. Nothing is done in your name or with an account of yours.

What data does it extract?

• Identity: fullName, firstName, lastName, headline, about, photo, publicIdentifier, linkedinUrl
• Reach: followerCount (exact for creators), connectionsCount and connectionsText ("500+")
• Location: location.linkedinText, location.countryCode, location.parsed (city, state, country)
• Current role: currentCompany, currentPosition[] (company, company link, location, start date)
• History: experience[] (position, company, company link, location, duration, description, start and end date), education[] (school, degree, field, period)
• More sections when public: skills[], languages[], certifications[], projects[], volunteering[], publications[], honorsAndAwards[], courses[]
• Content: articles[] (title, link, date, likes), recentActivity[] (post text, link, age)
• Network: moreProfiles[] (similar profiles with position, followers, location)
• Visibility: profileView (full or limited), hiddenFieldsCount, pastPositionsCount

⚠️ What LinkedIn shows a visitor (read this first)

LinkedIn shows logged-out visitors two kinds of profile pages:

• Full view (creators, executives, public figures, many senior profiles): headline, every job with title, dates and description, education, skills and the other sections.
• Limited view (many ordinary members): name, location, followers, connections, about text, current company and recent posts. LinkedIn replaces job titles and past employers with asterisks for visitors. This Actor never returns asterisks: those fields stay empty, profileView says limited, and hiddenFieldsCount and pastPositionsCount tell you how much LinkedIn kept back.

Actors that return full job histories for every member read LinkedIn with logged-in accounts. This one does not.

⬇️ Input

Field	Type	Description
profileUrls	array	Profile links (https://www.linkedin.com/in/<name>, any country subdomain) or bare identifiers such as williamhgates
maxProfiles	integer	Stop after this many profiles (default 100)

The field names urls, publicIdentifiers and queries used by other LinkedIn Actors are accepted too, so saved inputs keep working.

Example input

  "profileUrls": [
    "https://www.linkedin.com/in/williamhgates",
    "https://www.linkedin.com/in/satyanadella",
    "reidhoffman"

💡 Use cases

• 🎯 Lead lists: add current company, location and audience size to a list of prospects.
• 🧑‍💼 Recruiting research: read headlines, about texts and public job histories of candidates you already found.
• 📣 Creator and influencer research: follower counts, articles with likes and recent posts of LinkedIn voices.
• 🏢 Market mapping: who leads which company, and who LinkedIn shows as similar profiles.

🤖 For AI agents

{ "profileUrls": ["https://www.linkedin.com/in/williamhgates"], "maxProfiles": 1 }

One input field, no credentials. Each row says with profileView whether LinkedIn showed the full or the limited view.

📏 Limits

• Limited view: see above. Job titles and past employers of many ordinary members are hidden from visitors by LinkedIn.
• No emails or phone numbers: they are not on the public page.
• No search: LinkedIn's people search needs an account. Give profile links; LinkedIn's people directory (linkedin.com/pub/dir/<first>/<last>) lists public profiles by name.
• Refusals: LinkedIn turns some visitors away. Each profile is tried up to six times through fresh visitors; a profile that stays unreadable is listed in the key-value record NOT_SAVED and not charged. Run those again later.
• Skills, languages, certifications: only when the member made them public, mostly on full-view profiles.

❓ FAQ

Do I need a LinkedIn account or cookies? No. Nothing is sent in your name.

Why are some job titles empty? LinkedIn hides them from logged-out visitors on limited-view profiles. profileView: "limited" marks those rows.

Am I charged for profiles that do not exist? No. Only saved rows are charged.

How fast is it? Five profiles are read at a time, usually a few seconds each.

Does it work for any country? Yes, any linkedin.com/in/ link, including country subdomains such as de.linkedin.com.

Can I get company pages or posts? Company and post Actors are on the way; this one reads person profiles.

I used this Actor before with a RapidAPI key. What changed? It no longer needs any key. The old rapidApiKey, email and phone options are ignored; the output fields changed to the names above.

Is it legal? It reads pages LinkedIn publishes to every visitor and does not log in. You are responsible for how you use personal data: respect GDPR, CCPA and CAN-SPAM, have a lawful basis for processing, and do not use it for spam.
