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/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## LinkedIn Profile Scraper Scrape a PUBLIC/open LinkedIn profile by handle or /in/ URL: name, headline, location, experience, education, and people-also-viewed. Returns clean JSON. **$0.90 / 1,000 results.** > Public, logged-out data only — no login, no cookies, no account. ### Input | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | |-----------|------|----------|-------------| | `profiles` | array | Yes | LinkedIn /in/ URLs or handles (public/open profiles). | ### Example Input ```json { "profiles": [ "williamhgates", "https://www.linkedin.com/in/satyanadella/" ] } ```` ### Output Each dataset item: ```json { "vanity": "...", "name": "example", "headline": "...", "location": "...", "positions": "...", "education": "...", "people_also_viewed": "...", "profile_url": "..." } ``` #### Fields | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `vanity` | Profile handle | | `name` | Full name | | `headline` | Headline | | `location` | Location | | `positions` | Experience entries (title/company/dates/description) | | `education` | Education entries | | `people_also_viewed` | Related profiles | | `profile_url` | Profile URL | ### Pagination Handled server-side — one run returns the full result set for your input list. ### Python Client ```python from apify_client import ApifyClient client = ApifyClient("YOUR_TOKEN") run = client.actor("good-apis/linkedin-profile-scraper").call(run_input={ "profiles": [ "williamhgates", "https://www.linkedin.com/in/satyanadella/" ] }) for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items(): print(item) ``` ### Node.js Client ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_TOKEN' }); const run = await client.actor('good-apis/linkedin-profile-scraper').call({ "profiles": [ "williamhgates", "https://www.linkedin.com/in/satyanadella/" ] }); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); for (const item of items) console.log(item); ``` Install the client with `npm install apify-client`. ### FAQ **What input?** A list of `/in/` URLs or handles in `profiles`. **Why fewer fields sometimes?** This is cookieless (no login). OPEN profiles return full experience; a locked profile returns identity + current-company only — reported honestly, never fabricated. **One billed result?** One profile = one `result` at $0.90 / 1,000. # Actor input Schema ## `profiles` (type: `array`): LinkedIn /in/ URLs or handles (public/open profiles). ## Actor input object example ```json { "profiles": [ "williamhgates", "https://www.linkedin.com/in/satyanadella/" ] } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): Scraped results; each dataset item is one. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "profiles": [ "williamhgates", "https://www.linkedin.com/in/satyanadella/" ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("good-apis/linkedin-profile-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
