## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## LinkedIn Company Employee Finder by Full Company Name

Find public LinkedIn employee candidates by full official company name and aliases. The Actor returns clean, deduplicated profile leads with confidence scores.

For best accuracy, enter the complete company name, not only a short brand word. Use the legal name, full brand name, or LinkedIn company name.

Examples:

- Use `Marti Technologies Inc` or `Marti Teknoloji A.S.` instead of only `Marti`.
- Use `ILKO Ilac San. ve Tic. A.S.` and `ILKO Pharmaceuticals` instead of only `ILKO`.

### What you get

- Candidate name
- Current title or headline when available
- Matched company name or alias
- Public LinkedIn profile URL
- Confidence score
- Location when available

### Input

```json
{
  "companyName": "ILKO Ilac San. ve Tic. A.S.",
  "companyAliases": [
    "ILKO Pharmaceuticals",
    "Ilko Pharmaceuticals",
    "ILKO Ilac San. ve Tic. A.S."
  ],
  "country": "Turkey",
  "countryCode": "TR",
  "languageCode": "tr",
  "maxResults": 50,
  "findAllEmployees": false,
  "searchDepth": 50
}
```

### Output

```json
{
  "name": "Jane Doe",
  "title": "Sales Manager",
  "companyMatched": "ILKO Pharmaceuticals",
  "linkedinUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/example/",
  "confidence": 0.97,
  "location": "Istanbul",
  "runStatus": "target_reached",
  "requested": 50,
  "found": 50
}
```

### Status values

- `target_reached`: requested candidate count was found.
- `run_limit_reached`: the run stopped at the protected search limit.
- `partial_results`: some candidates were found, but no more public candidates were available in the current run.
- `no_results`: no matching candidates were found.
- `search_error`: candidate search could not complete.

### Notes

- Results are public employee candidates, not guaranteed complete employee lists.
- Always use the full official company name when possible.
- Use aliases for local names, English names, full brand names, LinkedIn company names, and legal names to improve match quality.
- Avoid vague one-word company names unless they are unique.
- Use the `confidence` field to prioritize stronger matches.
- The Actor does not return emails, phone numbers, private contact data, messages, or non-public data.

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
