Is it legal to scrape LinkedIn jobs?

Our scraper is ethical and does not extract any private user data, such as email addresses, personal profiles, or private information. It only extracts publicly available job listings that are visible to anyone visiting LinkedIn's job search pages without logging in.

We believe that our scraper, when used for ethical purposes by Apify users, is safe and compliant. However, you should be aware that:

• The scraper only accesses public data that doesn't require authentication
• It does not bypass login walls or authentication mechanisms
• It does not scrape private profiles or personal information
• Results contain only information that LinkedIn makes publicly accessible

Personal data is protected by GDPR in the European Union and by other regulations around the world. You should not use scraped data in ways that violate privacy regulations. If you're unsure whether your use case is legitimate, consult your lawyers.

FAQ

How many jobs can I scrape?

The Actor can scrape up to 10,000 jobs per run (configurable via maxJobs). For larger datasets, you can run multiple Actor runs with different keywords or locations.

Why are some job descriptions missing?

Some LinkedIn job descriptions require login to view. The Actor marks these with descriptionAvailable: false and loginWallDetected: true. This is expected behavior when scraping public data only.

Can I scrape without proxies?

The Actor works best with Apify's built-in proxy rotation. While it can run without proxies, you may encounter more blocking. We recommend using the default proxy configuration.

How often should I run the Actor?

For fresh data, we recommend running the Actor daily or weekly depending on your needs. Use Apify Scheduler to automate runs.

Can I get real-time job alerts?

Yes! Combine the Actor with Apify Scheduler and webhooks to get notified when new jobs matching your criteria are posted.

What's the difference between this Actor and LinkedIn's official API?

LinkedIn's official API has limited job search capabilities and requires partnership agreements. This Actor provides a flexible alternative for accessing public job listings without API restrictions.

Can I customize this Actor?

Yes! You can fork this Actor and customize it for your specific needs. If you need a completely custom solution, contact the Actor creator for custom development options.

Where can I get support?
