## 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`).

### 🚀 Key Benefits & Features

#### 1. 🔄 Multi-Attribute Waterfall Resolution

Never lose a lead due to missing data. Provide any single identifier or combination:

- **Direct LinkedIn URL** $\rightarrow$ Scrapes verified live career history, current job, company, and location.
- **Email Address** $\rightarrow$ Decomposes corporate/personal handles, runs search engine dorking, and resolves to the exact profile.
- **Phone Number** $\rightarrow$ Normalizes formats (US `+1`, India `+91`, UK `+44`, international) and reverse searches business indices.
- **Automatic Fallback** $\rightarrow$ If an email has no public match, it automatically cascades to reverse phone matching.

#### 2. 🛡️ 100% Account Safety: Zero Cookie / Login Required

- Traditional LinkedIn scrapers require your personal login cookies (`li_at`), putting your LinkedIn account at risk of permanent restriction or ban.
- This Actor operates in **Guest Mode** with headless Chromium, residential proxy rotation, and Google referrer spoofing. **Your personal LinkedIn account is never connected or put at risk.**

#### 3. 🔍 Google SERP Snippet Authwall Recovery

- LinkedIn frequently blocks anonymous public visitors with a *"Join LinkedIn / Sign In"* login wall for certain non-public profiles.
- Unlike other scrapers that return blank records or error out, this Actor automatically **recovers the indexed Google search snippet** (extracting Full Name, Job Title, Current Employer, Location, Personal Website, and Follower Count) directly from search engine cache!

#### 4. 🏢 Automatic Company Profile Deep-Enrichment

When enriching a person, the Actor can automatically crawl their current employer to append:

- Verified company name & official LinkedIn page
- Employee headcount range (e.g., `10,001+ employees`)
- Industry vertical (e.g., `Software Development`)
- Global Headquarters location & official website URL

#### 5. ✅ Built-in Email Domain Verification

- Automatically checks whether your prospect's email domain matches their current company on LinkedIn (`email_company_verified: true/false`).
- Catch job-changers immediately before wasting cold outreach emails or bounce credits.

***

### 👥 Who is This Actor For?

- **Cold Outbound Agencies & Growth Marketers**: Clean and enrich prospect lists before feeding Apollo, Smartlead, Instantly, or Lemlist.
- **Recruiters & Headhunters**: Turn lists of candidate email addresses and phone numbers into full LinkedIn profiles with verified job titles and tenures.
- **RevOps & CRM Teams**: Keep Salesforce, HubSpot, and Pipedrive contacts enriched with up-to-date titles, companies, and LinkedIn URLs.
- **Clay, n8n & Make Builders**: Plug directly into automated outbound workflows as a reliable, cost-effective waterfall step.

### 🔑 (Optional) How to Get the `li_at` Session Cookie

> **Note:** This step is **100% OPTIONAL**. The Actor works out of the box in **Guest Mode** without any cookies!\
> However, if you wish to unlock private, non-public personal profiles and view hidden career timelines:

1. Open **[linkedin.com](https://www.linkedin.com)** in your browser (Chrome or Edge) while logged into your account.
2. Press **`F12`** (or right-click anywhere $\rightarrow$ **Inspect**).
3. Navigate to the **Application** tab (named **Storage** in Firefox).
4. In the left panel, expand **Cookies** $\rightarrow$ select `https://www.linkedin.com`.
5. Find the row named **`li_at`**, double-click its **Value**, copy it, and paste it into the **`liAtCookie`** field.

### ❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

##### Do I need a LinkedIn account or login credentials?

**No.** By default, the Actor runs completely cookie-less in Guest Mode using residential proxies and stealth headers. Your LinkedIn account is never needed and never at risk.

##### How does email reverse-lookup work?

The Actor decomposes the email local part and corporate domain, generates intelligent vanity permutations, and queries search engine index graphs to discover public profile associations.

##### How does phone number reverse-lookup work?

The Actor normalizes phone numbers into E.164, formatted, and national variations (supporting US `+1`, Indian `+91`, UK `+44`, and global numbers) and searches public business directories to match them to LinkedIn URLs.

##### What happens if a LinkedIn profile hits an authwall?

If LinkedIn shows a login prompt and no session cookie is provided, the Actor automatically recovers the public Google/Bing search snippet, extracting the candidate's name, headline, current employer, location, and follower count so your dataset is never left empty.
