LinkedIn Profile Scraper

📊 What does LinkedIn Profile Scraper do?

LinkedIn Profile Scraper turns known public LinkedIn profile URLs into clean profile rows. Use it for public professional research, company and role research, directory updates, reports, and scheduled profile checks.

Each input creates one row. A successful row can contain stable profile identity, public profile details, organizations, education, languages, awards, follower count, connection label, and observation time.

This Actor reads public LinkedIn profile pages. It does not sign in, use customer LinkedIn accounts, collect private contact details, or reveal hidden profile sections.

With LinkedIn Profile Scraper, you can:

• 🆔 Collect stable profile IDs, profile URNs, and clean profile URLs.
• 🧑‍💼 Build public professional and company research datasets.
• 🏢 Collect public organization and education details.
• 📈 Save public follower counts and connection labels for later comparison.
• 📦 Export rows as JSON, JSONL, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS, or HTML.
• 🔄 Send profile rows to an API, webhook, spreadsheet, or data pipeline.

🔗 LinkedIn profile URLs

Add public LinkedIn profile URLs to startUrls.

{
  "startUrls": [
    "https://www.linkedin.com/in/timferriss",
    "https://uk.linkedin.com/in/clairebeasley"
  ]
}

The Actor supports standard and country LinkedIn domains with an /in/ profile path. Tracking parameters can remain in the input URL. The output includes a clean profile URL when the profile resolves.

Exact duplicate input strings are checked once. Different URL forms for the same profile can create separate attempts.

Results are saved as soon as each profile finishes.

📌 Run summary

The OUTPUT record contains:

• inputCount: number of unique input strings;
• usefulRows: number of successful profile rows;
• failedRows: number of failed profile rows;
• datasetId: ID of the result dataset;
• stopReason: why the Actor stopped;
• startedAt and finishedAt: run times.

🎯 Status and quality fields

• ok: the Actor found a public profile and proved its stable profile identity.
• failed: the public profile could not be read or did not expose enough data to prove its identity.

Failed rows keep the same field order as successful rows. Unknown scalar values stay null. Unknown list values stay empty. Check statusReason for a safe explanation.

The connectionsLabel field is the public LinkedIn label. For example, LinkedIn can show 500+ instead of an exact number. Education dates can contain a year, month, or full date, based on what LinkedIn shows.

🔒 Source boundary

This Actor reads only public LinkedIn profile pages available without a customer account. It does not:

• sign in to LinkedIn;
• use customer passwords, saved browser data, or accounts;
• collect email addresses or phone numbers;
• open private profiles or hidden profile sections;
• guess values that LinkedIn does not show.

⚠️ Limits and interpretation

• LinkedIn can show different public fields by profile, visitor region, and time.
• Private, deleted, missing, or login-limited profiles can return failed rows.
• A public headline, description, count, image, organization, or education field can be missing.
• Public image links can change or expire.
• Results are profile snapshots. Use scheduled runs to build history.
• LinkedIn can change its public pages. A later change can require an Actor update.

❓ FAQ

Does this Actor need a LinkedIn login or API key?

No. It reads public profile pages without a customer LinkedIn account.

Why is a field null or an empty list?

LinkedIn did not show that value publicly for the profile at run time. The Actor does not guess the value.

Why did I receive a failed row?

The profile can be private, missing, deleted, limited to signed-in visitors, or unavailable at run time. Check statusReason and confirm that the input is a public LinkedIn /in/ profile URL.

How are duplicate profiles handled?

The Actor checks an exact duplicate input string once per run. Different URL forms for the same profile can create separate attempts.
