LinkedIn Sales Navigator Scraper

🚀 What This Actor Does

This powerful Apify actor extracts detailed professional data from LinkedIn Sales Navigator search results. It navigates through your Sales Navigator searches and collects comprehensive profile information for lead generation, market research, and recruitment purposes.

Key Features:

• Bulk Profile Extraction: Scrape hundreds of LinkedIn profiles from Sales Navigator search results
• Detailed Profile Data: Extract complete professional information including current position, company details, location, and more. Most scrapers only find the information presented in the sales nav search results. But this scraper will get all the information from the related linkedin profiles.
• Pagination Support: Automatically navigates through multiple pages of search results
• Smart Rate Limiting: Built-in delays (5-30 seconds) to respect LinkedIn's usage patterns and avoid detection.
• Cookie-Based Authentication: Uses your existing Sales Navigator session for authentic access
