What this Actor does

Give it your competitors' profile or company URLs. The Actor finds every post they published recently, extracts everyone who engaged — reactors and commenters — then scores each person and hands you a ranked lead list:

• Seniority — read from each person's headline (C-level, VP, Head, Director, Manager, Senior).
• Engagement depth — comments weigh far more than reactions, and repeat engagement across posts adds more.
• Company — resolved for every lead.
• Do-not-contact list — your own company, customers, or any company you never want surfaced is excluded.

Someone engaging with a competitor's content has a live interest in your category. This Actor finds them first and tells you who is worth contacting.

It uses public data only, requires no cookies and no login.

Input

Field	Type	Required	Description
source_profile_urls	string[]	No	Competitor executives' or creators' profile URLs
source_company_urls	string[]	No	Competitor company page URLs
max_posts_per_source	integer	No	Posts scanned per source — the main cost control (default 8, 1–30)
exclude_companies	string[]	No	Company names or LinkedIn URLs to exclude (DNC)
include_reactions	boolean	No	Count reactors (default true)
include_commenters	boolean	No	Count commenters (default true)

Provide at least one source profile URL or company URL.

Example:

{
  "source_profile_urls": ["https://www.linkedin.com/in/example-competitor"],
  "max_posts_per_source": 8,
  "exclude_companies": ["Your Own Company", "https://www.linkedin.com/company/existing-customer"],
  "include_commenters": true
}

How to use it

1. Paste the competitor profiles and/or company pages you want to mine.
2. Add your do-not-contact companies.
3. Click Start.
4. Work the list from the top of leadScore — those are senior people engaging deeply.

Output

One row per scored lead:

{
  "schemaVersion": "1.0",
  "checkedAt": "2026-09-25T10:00:00+00:00",
  "profileUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/example-lead",
  "fullName": "Example Lead",
  "headline": "VP Marketing",
  "companyName": "Globex",
  "companyUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/globex",
  "commentCount": 3,
  "reactionCount": 2,
  "uniquePostsEngaged": 4,
  "seniorityScore": 90,
  "engagementScore": 68,
  "leadScore": 81,
  "sourcesEngaged": ["example-competitor"],
  "collectedAt": "2026-09-25T10:00:00+00:00"
}

The OUTPUT key-value-store record reports sources, posts scanned, engagers found, leads written, and how many were excluded.

Pricing

Event	Price
Actor start	$0.02
Scored lead	$0.04

You pay per lead returned. A run across 8 competitor posts typically yields 50–300 leads.

Common uses

• Competitive displacement — reach the people already interested in the category.
• Warm outbound — open with the competitor's own post as the reason to talk.
• Category demand mapping — see which companies are paying attention right now.
• Sales enablement — feed reps a ranked list instead of a raw export.

Limits

• Only public posts and public engagement are read.
• Seniority is inferred from the headline text, not from a verified title field.
• A lead is excluded when the company name or URL slug matches an entry in exclude_companies.
• Comment and reaction counts reflect what was readable on the scanned posts.

Automation
