Link.me Profile Scraper [Just 💰$2.7] — Creator Links & Stats

What does Link.me Profile Scraper do?

Link.me Profile Scraper extracts structured profile data from link.me — including contact details and creator usernames. It supports keyword search and controllable result limits, so you can run the same query consistently over time.

Key features

• 🔍 Look up profiles by username: put one link.me username, or a JSON array of usernames, in query; each resolves to one profile row with its username, profileId and profileUrl.
• 🔗 Paste-mode: paste link.me profile URLs into startUrls to scrape exactly the creators you picked in the browser.
• 👤 Creator identity: each row carries firstName, lastName, fullName, the displayNameOption the creator chose, the profileImage URL and isDefaultProfilePicture.
• ✅ Verified, ambassador and privacy flags: see whether a creator is verified (isVerified), a link.me ambassador (isAmbassador), private (isPrivate) or marked adult (isAdult).
• 📈 Profile visits and link count: profileVisitCount shows how often the profile was viewed and totalLinks how many links the creator saved, with createdAt and updatedAt for account age and activity.
• 🔗 Saved web links by platform: every saved web link comes in links with its platform and URL, and linkPlatforms lists the platforms (Instagram, TikTok, ...) for quick filtering. Creators without saved web links return an empty list.
• 💳 Monetization and sharing: tipsEnabled, stripeEnabled and shopProfileEnabled show which creators take payments, enabledSections the profile sections they use, and referralLink / deeplink give shareable links to the profile.
• ♻️ Incremental mode: recurring runs emit only directory entries that are new or updated — keep your supplier-outreach lists fresh without re-fetching the full directory. Saves 80–95% on weekly syncs.
• 🔔 Notifications: Telegram, Slack, Discord, WhatsApp Cloud API, and generic webhook out of the box. Pair with incremental for daily new-listing alerts without pipeline glue.
• 🧹 Empty-field stripping: drop null, empty-string, and empty-array fields from each record before push. Smaller payloads for AI agents and dashboards that already handle missing fields gracefully.
• 📤 Export anywhere: Download the dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the Apify Console, or stream live via the Apify API and integrations (Make, Zapier, Google Sheets, n8n, …).

What data can you extract from link.me?

Each result includes Core profile fields (listingId, profileId, username, profileUrl, portalUrl, firstName, lastName, and fullName, and more), extended fields (detailFetched), and contact information (contactEmails and contactPhones). In standard mode, all fields are always present — unavailable data points are returned as null, never omitted. In compact mode, only core fields are returned.

Input

The main inputs are a search keyword and a result limit. Additional filters and options are available in the input schema.

Key parameters:

• query — A link.me username (e.g. altheabutas) or profile URL. For several profiles paste a JSON array, e.g. ["altheabutas","rizkymaulana18"]. Defaults to a sample list of 12 public profiles; replace it with your own usernames, or use startUrls. (default: "[\"altheabutas\",\"rizkymaulana18\",\"rav.android\",\"jacky\",\"val\",\"dkravenous\",\"kalpeshjethva\",\"net\",\"netk\",\"amitpatel1561\",\"ffdd30\",\"newweblogin\"]")
• maxResults — Maximum profiles to return (0 = unlimited). (default: 100)
• startUrls — link.me profile URLs (https://link.me/
• compact — Core fields only (for AI-agent/MCP workflows). (default: false)
• includeFeaturedLinks — Also read each profile's public page for its featured links (title, URL, description, image). One extra request per profile; turn off for faster, link-list-only runs. (default: true)
• excludeEmptyFields — Drop null, empty-string, and empty-array fields from each record before push. Smaller payloads for AI agents and dashboards. (default: false)
• incrementalMode — Compare against previous run state and flag each profile NEW, UPDATED or UNCHANGED. stateKey is optional — defaults to a value derived from the usernames / profile URLs so different profile sets never share state. (default: false)
• stateKey — Optional. Stable identifier for the tracked search universe. Leave empty to auto-generate from search inputs.
• emitUnchanged — When incremental, also emit profiles that have not changed since the previous run. (default: false)
• emitExpired — When incremental, also emit profiles from the previous run that are no longer found (account deleted or renamed). (default: false)
• notifyOnlyChanges — When Incremental Mode is on, only send notifications for NEW and UPDATED profiles. Has no effect outside incremental mode. (default: false)
• notificationLimit — Maximum number of profiles included in each notification message (1–20). (default: 5)
• ...and 12 more parameters

Input examples

Basic search — Keyword-driven search with a result cap.

→ Full payload per result — all standard fields populated where the source provides them.

{
  "query": "[\"altheabutas\",\"rizkymaulana18\",\"rav.android\",\"jacky\",\"val\",\"dkravenous\",\"kalpeshjethva\",\"net\",\"netk\",\"amitpatel1561\",\"ffdd30\",\"newweblogin\"]",
  "maxResults": 50
}

Incremental tracking — Only emit profiles that changed since the previous run with this stateKey.

→ First run builds the baseline state. Subsequent runs emit only records that are new or whose tracked content changed. Set emitUnchanged: true to include unchanged records as well.

{
  "query": "[\"altheabutas\",\"rizkymaulana18\",\"rav.android\",\"jacky\",\"val\",\"dkravenous\",\"kalpeshjethva\",\"net\",\"netk\",\"amitpatel1561\",\"ffdd30\",\"newweblogin\"]",
  "maxResults": 200,
  "incrementalMode": true,

}

Compact output for AI agents — Return only core fields for AI-agent and MCP workflows.

→ Small payload with the most important fields — ideal for piping into LLMs without token overhead.

{
  "query": "[\"altheabutas\",\"rizkymaulana18\",\"rav.android\",\"jacky\",\"val\",\"dkravenous\",\"kalpeshjethva\",\"net\",\"netk\",\"amitpatel1561\",\"ffdd30\",\"newweblogin\"]",
  "maxResults": 50,

}

Output

Each run produces a dataset of structured profile records. Results can be downloaded as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the Dataset tab in Apify Console.

Incremental fields

When incremental mode is on, each record also carries:

• changeType — one of NEW, UPDATED, UNCHANGED, REAPPEARED, EXPIRED. Default output covers NEW / UPDATED / REAPPEARED; set emitUnchanged: true or emitExpired: true to opt into the others.

How to scrape link.me

1. Go to Link.me Profile Scraper in Apify Console.
2. Enter a search keyword.
3. Set maxResults to control how many results you need.
4. Click Start and wait for the run to finish.
5. Export the dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

Use cases

• Extract profile data from link.me for market research and competitive analysis.
• Monitor new and changed profiles on scheduled runs without processing the full dataset every time.
• Feed structured data into AI agents, MCP tools, and automated pipelines using compact mode.
• Export clean, structured data to dashboards, spreadsheets, or data warehouses.

How much does it cost to scrape link.me?

Link.me Profile Scraper uses pay-per-event pricing. You pay a small fee when the run starts and then for each result that is actually produced.

• Run start: $0.0045 per run
• Per result: $0.0027 per profile record

Example costs:

• 10 results: $0.032
• 25 results: $0.072
• 100 results: $0.27
• 200 results: $0.54
• 500 results: $1.35

Example: recurring monitoring savings

These examples compare full re-scrapes with incremental runs at different churn rates. Churn is the share of profiles that are new or whose tracked content changed since the previous run. Actual churn depends on your query breadth, source activity, and polling frequency — the scenarios below are examples, not predictions.

Example setup: 250 profiles per run, daily polling (30 runs/month). Costs scale linearly with the number of profiles.

Churn rate	Full re-scrape run cost	Incremental run cost	Savings vs full re-scrape	Monthly cost after baseline
5% — stable niche query	$0.68	$0.04	$0.64 (94%)	$1.15
15% — moderate broad query	$0.68	$0.11	$0.57 (84%)	$3.17
30% — high-volume aggregator	$0.68	$0.21	$0.47 (70%)	$6.21

Full re-scrape monthly cost at the same cadence: $20.38. First month with incremental costs $1.79 / $3.75 / $6.68 for the 5% / 15% / 30% scenarios because the first run builds baseline state at full cost before incremental savings apply.

Platform usage is included in the per-result fee shown above.
