Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. Actors are written with capital "A". ## 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. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

This Actor matches target individuals against verified business profiles and social graph networks, returning the exact matched LinkedIn URL in under 2 seconds. Perfect for sales intelligence, lead enrichment, recruitment platforms, marketing automation, CRM synchronization, and identity verification systems. --- ### ⚡ Key Features 1. **Precision Matching:** Resolves first name, last name, and company names to corresponding public LinkedIn URLs. 2. **Real-time lookup:** Provides instant matches, resolving target profiles in under 2 seconds. 3. **Enterprise Reliability:** Built on robust, distributed API logic with fallback resolution mechanisms. 4. **Clean JSON Format:** Returns a simple key-value structure of the resolved link, filtering out complex nested schemas for drop-in ease of use. --- ### 📥 Input Parameter Schema * `first_name` (string, required): The first name of the person (e.g. `yusuf`). * `last_name` (string, required): The last name of the person (e.g. `mehdi`). * `company_name` (string, required): The company they work at (e.g. `microsoft`). --- ### 📤 Output Dataset Example (JSON) When execution completes, each record is saved to the default Apify Dataset in the following format: ```json { "status": "success", "first_name": "yusuf", "last_name": "mehdi", "company_name": "microsoft", "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/yusufmehdi" } ```` *** ### ❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) **Q1: What happens if a person works at a different company now?** A1: The API matches the profile based on the parameters provided. If they have updated their profile and the previous company is listed as past experience, the search engine still resolves them successfully in most cases. **Q2: What happens if no profile is matched?** A2: If the query cannot be matched to a public profile, the API returns `"linkedin_url": null` with a `200 OK` status, preventing processing failures. **Q3: Can I run bulk lookups?** A3: The Actor processes one query per run. For bulk lookups, run runs in parallel or call the API endpoint programmatically. *** ### 🏷️ Keywords: `linkedin profile finder`, `linkedin url finder`, `find linkedin by name`, `linkedin url resolver`, `sales intelligence api`, `lead enrichment tool`, `b2b enrichment`. # Actor input Schema ## `first_name` (type: `string`): The first name of the target person. ## `last_name` (type: `string`): The last name of the target person. ## `company_name` (type: `string`): The company name they work at. ## Actor input object example ```json { "first_name": "yusuf", "last_name": "mehdi", "company_name": "microsoft" } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
