LinkedIn Profile Details Scraper

Scrape public LinkedIn profile details by profile URL or handle — no login, no cookies, no LinkedIn account. Give it a list of /in/<handle> URLs and get one clean, flat row per person: name, about summary, location, follower and connection counts, work experience (companies + dates), education, and the LinkedIn articles they've published.

Built for AI agents and pipelines: narrow input, structured JSON output, predictable per-profile pricing.

What you get

Field	Description
fullName, firstName, lastName	Person's name
about	The public "About" summary (when present)
location	City / region / country string
currentCompany	Most recent / current organization, derived from experience
connectionsCount, followerCount	Public counters (parsed from 1.2k, 3M, 500+, 64,803) when shown
experience[]	Organizations the person is affiliated with: company, companyUrl, location, startDate, endDate, isCurrent, and the org description
education[]	Schools / institutions: name, url, dates
articles[]	LinkedIn articles the person published: title, url, publishedAt, image
experienceCount, educationCount, articlesCount	Quick counts for filtering
profileImageUrl	Avatar URL
provider	Which provider resolved the row (scrapecreators / sociavault)
profileUrl, publicId, scrapedAt	Canonical URL, handle, ISO 8601 timestamp

Honest scope: these providers return LinkedIn's public structured-data view of a profile. That reliably includes name, about, location, follower count, affiliated organizations (with dates), education, and published articles. It does not include the free-text headline, per-role job titles, a skills list, languages, certifications, emails, or connection-network data. If you need exact job titles or skills you will not get them here.

When to use

• Enrich a list of known LinkedIn profile URLs into structured people records.
• Build sourcing datasets keyed by profile (name, location, orgs, articles).
• Feed a person's public professional background to an LLM or CRM.

When NOT to use:

• For a person's posts → use linkedin-profile-posts-scraper.
• For company pages → use the LinkedIn Company scrapers.
• For verified emails → use linkedin-profile-email-scraper.
• To search/discover profiles by keyword → use linkedin-profile-search-scraper.

Input

{
  "profileUrls": [
    "https://www.linkedin.com/in/williamhgates/",
    "satyanadella"
  ],
  "maxProfiles": 10,
  "outputMode": "full",
  "providerOrder": "scrapecreators-first"
}

• profileUrls (required) — full /in/ URLs or bare handles.
• maxProfiles — budget cap (default 1000).
• outputMode — full (default) or compact (first 3 of each array, smaller records).
• providerOrder — scrapecreators-first (default) → SociaVault fallback; or reverse / single-provider.
• includeRawData — attach the raw provider payload under rawProfile.

Pricing

Pay-per-event (PPE) and pay-per-usage are both enabled — pick at run time.

Event	Price
Actor start	$0.00005
Profile scraped	$0.01 per profile saved

A 10-profile run costs ~$0.10. You are only charged for profiles that actually resolve to a saved record — not-found profiles are not billed.

How it works

Cookieless and provider-backed. ScrapeCreators is the primary data source (GET /v1/linkedin/profile); SociaVault (GET /v1/scrape/linkedin/profile) is the automatic fallback when the primary errors, rate-limits, or returns nothing. Provider API keys are the actor owner's secrets — you never supply credentials. Switch the order or pin a single provider with providerOrder.

Limits & honesty

• Returns the public, incognito-visible profile only. No private, login-only, email, or connection-network data.
• Field depth depends on what the person made public and what the provider exposes. connectionsCount is often blank; experience items are organizations with dates but no job title; there is no headline or skills list (see the scope note above).
• A profile that does not exist or has no public profile finishes gracefully (counted as not-found, not billed), not as a failure.
