## 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`).

### Introduction & Core Capabilities

The **LinkedIn Profile & Email Finder: B2B Lead Suite** is a unified contact intelligence engine engineered for modern go-to-market teams, sales development representatives (SDRs), recruiters, and automated lead generation pipelines. By uniting professional identity resolution with verified business email discovery, this service eliminates the friction of juggling multiple disjointed scrapers, brittle browser extensions, or costly per-seat subscriptions.

Engineered for sub-second execution (~200ms – 400ms), this service completely bypasses anti-bot hurdles, login walls, and session token revocations. You do not need to provide personal LinkedIn cookies, manage proxy pools, or risk account restrictions. Query by professional name and company to retrieve verified profile URLs, extract direct corporate email addresses from public profiles, or perform reverse email-to-profile discovery—all formatted in deterministic, RFC-compliant JSON ready for instant CRM ingestion.

  "last_name": "Nadella",
  "company_name": "Microsoft",
  "mode": "full_enrichment"
};

const run = await client.actor('linkedin-profile-email-finder').call(input);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log('Results:', items);
```

#### 2. Apify Python SDK (`apify-client`)

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")

run_input = {
  "first_name": "Satya",
  "last_name": "Nadella",
  "company_name": "Microsoft",
  "mode": "full_enrichment"
}

run = client.actor("linkedin-profile-email-finder").call(run_input=run_input)
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)
```

### Transparent Pay-Per-Event (PPE) Pricing by Mode

| Mode / Event | Action Title | Free Trial Price | Paid Member Price | Operational Description |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| `profile-by-name` | **Profile Lookup by Name & Company** | $0.100 / run | **$0.007** / query | Discovers personal LinkedIn profile URL from first name, last name, and company. |
| `email-by-linkedin` | **Email Discovery by LinkedIn Profile** | $0.100 / run | **$0.007** / query | Extracts verified B2B corporate work email address from target LinkedIn profile URL. |
| `profile-by-email` | **Reverse Profile Lookup by Email** | $0.100 / run | **$0.007** / query | Reverse-lookup verified public LinkedIn profile URL using an email address. |
| `full-enrichment` | **Full Lead Enrichment (Profile & Email)** | $0.100 / run | **$0.007** / query | Full end-to-end enrichment: profile discovery plus verified corporate email extraction. |

- **Dynamic Event Billing:** Each Actor run charges strictly for the mode executed. Simple profile or email lookups cost less, while full end-to-end lead enrichment provides complete combined profiles and contact dossiers.
- **Platform Compute:** Always billed directly to the user account (`isPPEPlatformUsagePaidByUser: true`). The developer never incurs platform compute fees.

### Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

#### 1. How does this API discover verified corporate emails?

The service uses advanced MX record validation, domain convention heuristics, and live SMTP handshake verification to identify and confirm deliverable business emails associated with the target professional.

#### 2. Does this service require my personal LinkedIn login, password, or cookies?

No. The service operates completely independently without requiring your personal LinkedIn credentials, browser session cookies (li_at), or account access. Your personal profile is never exposed to risk or ban walls.

#### 3. How does Pay-Per-Event (PPE) pricing work?

Free users pay $0.10 per run ($100 per 1,000 runs). Paid Apify members (Bronze through Diamond) pay a flat rate of $0.007 per query ($7 per 1,000 queries) across all modes. Platform compute is billed directly to your account (isPPEPlatformUsagePaidByUser: true) with zero developer markup.

#### 4. What if the target company uses a catch-all email server?

When an email server accepts all incoming addresses (catch-all), our engine runs secondary statistical pattern matching across known corporate aliases to assign a reliability confidence score.

#### 5. Can I find profiles when multiple individuals share the same common name?

Yes. By providing both the person's full name and their current company or employer name (e.g. 'Satya Nadella' at 'Microsoft'), the resolution algorithm pinpoints the exact matching professional profile.

#### 6. What response speed and latency can I expect?

Direct queries typically resolve within ~200ms to 450ms, served through globally distributed edge points of presence with connection pooling.

#### 7. How are rate limits structured across RapidAPI plans?

The Basic plan includes 50 free monthly requests. The Pro plan provides 4,280 requests at 30 req/sec ($0.007 overage), Ultra provides 57,000 requests at 60 req/sec ($0.0042 overage), and Mega supports 428,000 requests at 100 req/sec ($0.0018 overage).

#### 8. Can I batch process hundreds or thousands of contacts?

Yes. You can trigger asynchronous batches via the Apify Actor API or dispatch concurrent asynchronous HTTP requests using Python (aiohttp/httpx) or Node.js.

#### 9. Can I push extracted leads directly into HubSpot, Salesforce, or Google Sheets?

Yes. You can export datasets directly as CSV/JSON, trigger Apify webhooks upon run completion, or connect RapidAPI endpoints directly into Zapier, Make, and n8n.

#### 10. What happens if no profile or email can be identified?

The API returns a clean HTTP 200 with structured JSON indicating success: false and a descriptive message (e.g. no_profile_found or email_undeliverable), preventing workflow exceptions.

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).
