## 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 Champion Tracker

Track your champions and closed-lost contacts, and get alerted the moment they change jobs — so you can re-engage them at their new company while the memory of you is still warm.

### What this Actor does

Give it a list of LinkedIn profile URLs — your past champions, closed-won power users, or closed-lost contacts. The Actor stores a baseline of each person's current employer, then on later runs returns **only the movers**: the people who changed company since last time.

Each mover row carries the previous role and company, the new role and company, the new employer's industry and headcount, the move date, and a 0–100 re-engagement priority score.

It requires no cookies and no login, and never returns a person who has not moved.

### Input

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `profile_urls` | string\[] | Yes | LinkedIn profile URLs of the champions / closed-lost contacts to monitor |
| `state_key` | string | No | Namespaces the stored baseline. Use one key per list so separate lists don't overwrite each other (default `default`) |
| `include_company_enrichment` | boolean | No | Add the mover's new employer industry and headcount (default `true`) |

Example:

```json
{
  "profile_urls": [
    "https://www.linkedin.com/in/example-champion-1",
    "https://www.linkedin.com/in/example-champion-2"
  ],
  "state_key": "closed-won-2026",
  "include_company_enrichment": true
}
```

### How to use it

1. Paste the LinkedIn profile URLs of the people you want to monitor.
2. Set a `state_key` for this list (e.g. `closed-won-q3`).
3. Click **Start**. The first run stores the baseline and returns no movers.
4. Schedule it (weekly or monthly). Each later run returns only the people who moved.

### Output

One row per mover:

```json
{
  "schemaVersion": "1.0",
  "checkedAt": "2026-09-25T10:00:00+00:00",
  "stateKey": "closed-won-2026",
  "profileUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/example-champion-1",
  "fullName": "Example Champion",
  "headline": "VP Marketing",
  "previousTitle": "Director of Marketing",
  "previousCompany": "Acme Corp",
  "previousCompanyUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/acme-corp",
  "newTitle": "VP Marketing",
  "newCompany": "Globex",
  "newCompanyUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/globex",
  "newCompanyIndustry": "Software Development",
  "newCompanyHeadcount": 850,
  "movedOn": "2026-08-01",
  "priorityScore": 90,
  "source": "snapshot_diff",
  "collectedAt": "2026-09-25T10:00:00+00:00"
}
```

The `OUTPUT` key-value-store record reports profiles checked, profiles resolved, movers found, failures, and whether the run only stored a baseline.

### Pricing

| Event | Price |
|---|---|
| Actor start | $0.02 |
| Profile checked | $0.005 |
| Mover found | $0.05 |

You pay a small amount to check each profile, plus a premium only when a real mover is found. Checking 100 champions costs about $0.52, and each mover adds $0.05.

### Common uses

- **Re-engagement** — reach a former champion within days of a job change, when a re-purchase is most likely.
- **Closed-lost revival** — a contact who said no at Acme may say yes at Globex.
- **Champion-led expansion** — follow your power users into their next company.

### Limits

- Results include public profiles only; a private or removed profile cannot be resolved.
- A first run for a new `state_key` stores the baseline and returns no movers by design.
- Move dates and firmographics are point-in-time observations.
- The Actor returns public profile data only; no contact details are included.

### Automation

Run from the Apify API, schedules, or webhooks. Download the same dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

### Feedback and support

Use the Actor's Issues tab for reproducible problems. Include the affected public profile URL, but do not include credentials.

### FAQ

**How much does it cost to run this Actor?**
Pricing is listed in the Pricing section above, charged per row returned. You only pay for the rows
the Actor actually produces, so a small test run costs cents.

**Do I need cookies or a LinkedIn login?**
No. This Actor reads public data only - no cookies, no account, no browser automation.

**Can I schedule it?**
Yes. Run it from the Apify API, on a schedule, or via a webhook, and export results as JSON, CSV or Excel.

**What if I need a slightly different output?**
Open an issue on the Actor's Issues tab describing the shape you need.

  ]

## MCP server setup

```json

        }
    }
}
```

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).
