Linktree Profile Scraper

---

🎯 What this scrapes

Linktree profile pages ship their real data as a __NEXT_DATA__ JSON payload embedded in the page. This Actor reads that payload directly: give it one or more usernames or profile URLs and it returns one row per link — not one row per profile — so you get an analyzable, filterable table instead of a hand-scraped page dump.

🔥 Features

• 🔗 Link-level rows, not profile-level — filter by link type, gated status, or group membership directly in your dataset.
• 🧩 Group linkage resolved — child links carry group_id / group_title so you can reconstruct group membership with a simple join.
• 🔒 Gate status surfaced — age / passcode / password / NFT-gated links are flagged (gated, gate_type) without attempting to bypass them.
• 🏷️ Every link type covered — CLASSIC, GROUP, YOUTUBE_VIDEO, COMMERCE_PRODUCT, and unrecognized future types are all emitted, never dropped.
• 🛡️ We rotate browser fingerprints so the target sees a real browser, not a script.
• 🧊 Clean, typed rows — Pydantic-validated, ISO-8601 timestamps. Export JSON / CSV / Excel straight from the Apify Console.

💡 Use cases

• Link-in-bio market research — analyze what creators and brands actually link to, and how they organize it.
• Creator tooling & influencer platforms — pull structured profile + link data instead of screen-scraping by hand.
• Affiliate-link auditing — surface every outbound destination a profile publishes, at scale.
• Brand-safety & monetization analysis — spot commerce links, affiliate patterns, and gated content across many profiles.

⚙️ How to use it

1. Click Try for free at the top of the Store listing.
2. Add one or more Usernames or profile URLs — a bare username (selenagomez) or a full URL (https://linktr.ee/selenagomez) both work.
3. Click Start. Rows stream into the dataset as each profile is fetched.
4. Export from Storage → Dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel — or pull via the Apify API.

💰 Pricing

Pay-per-event — you pay only for what lands in your dataset.

Event	Price
Actor start	$0.20 (once per run)
Result emitted	$0.004 per link row

At 1,000 link rows in a run, that's $4.20 / 1,000 ($0.20 start + $4.00 for the rows) — pricing amortizes toward $4.00/1,000 on larger runs.

🚧 Limitations

• Public profiles only — no login-required data, analytics, or edit-mode fields.
• Gated links (age/passcode/password/NFT) are flagged, not bypassed — this Actor never attempts to fetch what's behind a gate.
• Group membership is flat (group_id / group_title join), not a nested tree — reconstruct groups with a simple join if you need hierarchy.
• Zero-link profiles emit no rows for that profile (logged, not a failure) — the run only fails if every requested profile yields zero rows.

❓ FAQ

Does this need a Linktree account or API key? No — it reads the same public JSON payload the profile page itself serves.

Can I pass a full profile URL instead of a bare username? Yes — either works. A full https://linktr.ee/<username> URL has its username extracted automatically.

What happens if a profile doesn't exist or has no links? The run continues and reports zero rows for that profile — never a silent failure and never a crash, unless every requested profile comes back empty.
