## Pricing

from $4.00 / 1,000 person founds

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## LinkedIn Influencer Finder (No Cookies) | $5/1K + $0.20/run

Find LinkedIn creators and thought leaders who post about any topic, ranked by average likes and comments. $5 per 1,000 people plus $0.20 per run. No cookies, no login. Get job title, company, country and their top post. Optional country filter.

### What does it do?

LinkedIn Influencer Finder searches a month of LinkedIn posts on your topics, groups them by author and ranks people by average engagement (likes plus comments) per post. For each person you get their job title, company, country, how many matching posts they wrote and their best post.

No cookies, no LinkedIn account and no login. You pay only for results delivered to your dataset.

### What can you use it for?

- Find creators for influencer marketing or sponsored posts.
- Find speakers, podcast guests or webinar partners on a topic.
- Build a list of thought leaders to engage with before outreach.
- Pass their top posts to LinkedIn Post Engagers to reach their audience.

### How to use it

1. Add one or more topic keywords.
2. Set a minimum average engagement and how many people you want.
3. Optionally limit to countries (extra charge per person returned).
4. Click Start and export the ranked list.

### Pricing

Pay per result. Prices depend on your Apify plan:

| What you pay for | Starter | Scale | Business | Unit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Person found | $5.00 | $4.50 | $4.00 | per 1,000 people returned |
| Run | $0.20 | $0.20 | $0.20 | per run, covers the post search |
| Country check | $5.00 | $4.50 | $4.00 | per 1,000 people returned, only with a country filter |

50 people cost $0.20 + $0.25 = $0.45 on the Starter plan. Free Apify plan: up to 10 people per run.

### FAQ

**How is engagement measured?**
Likes plus comments per matching post from the past month, averaged per person. People with one very popular post can rank highly.

**Are company pages included?**
No, people only.

**Do I need a LinkedIn account or cookies?**
No. You never log in and never share cookies, so there is no risk to your LinkedIn account.

**Am I charged for failed lookups?**
No. You pay only for results delivered to your dataset.

**Can I cap my spend?**
Yes. Set a maximum cost per run in Apify. The actor stops cleanly when it is reached.

**Can I use it from code, Make, Zapier, n8n or an AI agent?**
Yes. Run it through the Apify API, any Apify integration, or the Apify MCP server. The example input below works as is.

**Is this data public?**
It covers public LinkedIn posts and public profile information. You are responsible for using the data in line with the laws that apply to you, such as GDPR.

apify call cornersight/linkedin-influencer-finder --silent --output-dataset

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).
