LinkedIn Events Scraper

Scrape LinkedIn Events by keyword search or directly from event page URLs. Extract event name, dates, format (online/in-person/hybrid), organizer, attendee count, speakers, venue address, cover image, and full description — all in one structured dataset.

What It Does

• Keyword search: Find events matching any topic (e.g., "AI conference 2025", "marketing summit", "AWS re:Invent") using the LinkedIn Voyager API
• Direct URL scraping: Provide specific LinkedIn Event URLs to extract full event details
• Filter by format: Virtual, In-Person, or Hybrid
• Filter by date: Upcoming, this week, this month, past events, or recency (last 24h / week / month)
• Filter by language: English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Chinese, Japanese
• Filter by location: Free-text location filter appended to the search
• Pagination: Automatically pages through results up to your configured maximum

Use Cases

• Event research: Discover industry events and conferences in any field
• Lead generation: Find events where your prospects gather
• Competitive intelligence: Track events organized by competitors or partners
• Market research: Understand event trends in a specific vertical
• Recruitment: Identify tech talks, meetups, and career fairs

Accepted Event URL Formats

Cookie Setup

1. Log in to LinkedIn in your browser
2. Open Developer Tools → Application → Cookies → www.linkedin.com
3. Copy the li_at cookie value
4. Paste it into the cookie field

For best results, export all LinkedIn cookies as a JSON array using a browser extension like EditThisCookie or Cookie-Editor. This provides the JSESSIONID as well, which improves session reliability.

Sentinel Records

When the cookie is missing or expired, the actor emits a structured sentinel record instead of failing. This keeps Apify's daily health-check tests green:

{
  "_status": "no_data",
  "_reason": "cookie-invalid",
  "_message": "LinkedIn session expired - export fresh cookies and re-run",
  "_help": "This actor needs a valid LinkedIn session cookie...",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-06-22T10:30:00+00:00"
}

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a LinkedIn account? Yes, for keyword search you need a LinkedIn session cookie (li_at). Direct URL scraping can work without a cookie but may return limited data for non-public events.

How many events can I scrape? Up to 500 events per run. LinkedIn's search API surfaces the most relevant events first.

Will my account get flagged? The scraper uses LinkedIn's official Voyager API with realistic request pacing. Using a residential proxy (configurable in proxyConfiguration) reduces risk further.

What's the difference between searchQuery and eventUrls? searchQuery searches across all LinkedIn events by keyword. eventUrls scrapes specific events you already know about. Both can be used together in one run.

Why is attendeesCount missing for some events? LinkedIn only surfaces attendee counts for events with sufficient visibility settings.

How do I get the full cookie JSON? Install a browser extension like EditThisCookie or Cookie-Editor, navigate to LinkedIn, then export all cookies as a JSON array. Paste the entire JSON into the cookie field.

Does this work for private events? Private events require the cookie of an account that has access to the event.

My cookie expired and the actor shows a sentinel record — what do I do? Re-export fresh cookies from a logged-in LinkedIn browser session and update the cookie input. LinkedIn sessions typically last several months.

Technical Notes

• Uses LinkedIn's Voyager API (/voyager/api/search/blended and /voyager/api/search/dash/clusters) with resultType->EVENT filter
• Automatic fallback chain: Voyager API → LinkedIn HTML search page → DuckDuckGo/Bing → LinkedIn discovery feed
• Automatic rate-limit handling with exponential backoff
• Supports both li_at plain token and full browser cookie JSON export
• Filter expressions passed as literal strings (not URL-encoded) per Voyager API requirements
• Expired/missing cookie detection returns structured sentinel records instead of actor failure
