LinkedIn Profile + Email Finder (BYOK)

Extract a complete LinkedIn profile plus a verified work email in a single actor run. No li_at cookie, no browser automation, no login. You bring your own email-vendor API key (BYOK) — we charge a flat $5 / 1,000 profiles for the LinkedIn lookup; the email vendor charges your account.

Pick your email vendor (BYOK)

You can use any one of three vendors with your own API key. We never store, log, or transmit your key anywhere except the vendor's own API.

Vendor	Cost / email	Free trial	Best for
Datagma (default)	$0.013	160 credits	Entry tier, cheapest
Hunter.io	$0.017 starter / $0.0084 scale	25 / month	Brand recognition, scale
Findymail	$0.020	10 credits	LinkedIn accuracy specialist (5% bounce guarantee)

Set emailVendor to datagma, hunter, or findymail. Paste the matching key into emailApiKey. That's it.

Why $5/1k beats $10/1k bundled actors

Most competing "profile + email" actors bundle both vendor costs into a single $10–$15 / 1k price tag. That assumes you don't already have a Datagma, Hunter, or Findymail subscription. Most B2B teams do.

Actor	Profile data	Email finder	Price / 1k
dev_fusion linkedin-profile-scraper + bundled email	Yes	Yes (bundled vendor)	~$10
harvestapi linkedin-profile-bulk-scraper-no-cookies + emails	Yes	Yes (bundled)	~$10
This actor (BYOK)	Yes	You pass your own key (3 vendors)	$5

Net savings on a 10,000-lead enrichment run: ~$50 vs. bundled competitors, on top of whatever you save by reusing an existing vendor subscription.

How it works

1. You pass an array of LinkedIn profile URLs or bare usernames.
2. We fetch each profile via our cookieless LinkedIn data provider (one API call per profile).
3. We resolve the company's external website domain (LinkedIn never gives it directly).
4. If enableEmailLookup=true and you supplied an emailApiKey, we call your chosen vendor with first_name + last_name + domain.
5. You get one combined record per profile — profile fields and email fields merged, plus emailVendor so you always know which vendor was used.

Quick start: get an API key (1 minute)

Datagma (recommended — cheapest)

1. Sign up at datagma.com/api — 160 free credits, no credit card.
2. Copy your apiId from the dashboard.
3. Set emailVendor = "datagma" and paste the key into emailApiKey.

Hunter.io (most popular)

1. Sign up at hunter.io/users/sign_up — 25 free searches/month.
2. Open hunter.io/api_keys, copy the key.
3. Set emailVendor = "hunter".

Findymail (best for LinkedIn-sourced contacts)

1. Sign up at findymail.com — 10 free credits.
2. Open the dashboard, copy your Bearer token.
3. Set emailVendor = "findymail".

Input

Field	Type	Required	Description
profileUrls	array of strings	yes	LinkedIn profile URLs (https://www.linkedin.com/in/<slug>/) or bare usernames (satya-nadella).
emailVendor	string enum	no (default datagma)	One of datagma, hunter, findymail.
emailApiKey	string (secret)	only for email enrichment	Your vendor key.
enableEmailLookup	boolean	no (default true)	Set to false to skip vendor calls entirely (saves your credits).

If enableEmailLookup is true but emailApiKey is empty, the actor logs a warning and proceeds with profile data only. If emailVendor is invalid, the actor fails fast with a clear message.

Output (one record per profile)

Profile fields (always present when the profile resolves):

sourceInput, profileId, profileUrn, username, profileUrl,
firstName, lastName, fullName, headline, summary,
country, countryCode, city, locationFull,
currentCompanyName, currentCompanyId, currentCompanyUrl, currentTitle,
industryName, isCreator, isPremium, isInfluencer, isOpenToWork, isHiring,
followerCount, connectionsCount, profilePictureUrl,
experience (last 3 positions), education (last 2),
scrapedAt

Email fields (merged into the same record):

email                 — string or null
emailScore            — 0-100 confidence (Hunter only), or null
emailType             — "professional" / "personal" / "probable" / null
emailVerified         — true when the vendor SMTP-verified the address
emailSources          — Hunter: source count; Findymail: email provider; Datagma: null
emailVendor           — "datagma" / "hunter" / "findymail" — which vendor returned this record
emailLookupDomain     — domain we asked the vendor to search (echoed for debugging)
emailLookupSkipReason — "no_company_domain" / "missing_name" / "invalid_key" / "quota_exhausted" / "disabled_by_input"

When the vendor cannot find an email (most common reason: small companies not in the vendor's index), all email fields are null / false and emailLookupSkipReason stays null. No email is normal, not an error.

A summary record at the end reports profilesAttempted, emailsFound, diagnostics, emailLookupEnabled, and emailVendor.

Pricing math

Run size	Our cost	Datagma cost ($0.013/email, all hit)	Total
100 profiles	$0.50	~$1.30	~$1.80
1,000 profiles	$5.00	~$13	~$18
1,000 profiles, emailLookup=false	$5.00	$0	$5.00
First 160 profiles on Datagma free trial	$0.80	$0	$0.80

If you don't have any email-vendor account, the actor still works without one — leave emailApiKey blank and you'll get profile-only data at $5/1k.

Endpoint notes

• Datagma: GET https://gateway.datagma.net/api/ingress/v6/findEmail with apiId query param. Response shape inferred from public docs (verified 2026-05-18); parser handles multiple known shapes defensively.
• Hunter: GET https://api.hunter.io/v2/email-finder with api_key query param.
• Findymail: POST https://app.findymail.com/api/search/name with Authorization: Bearer <key>, body {name, domain}. Response under contact key.

All three vendors are called with one request per profile, with 1 retry on transient errors (429/5xx) and an immediate disable on 401/403 to stop wasting your credits if your key is invalid.
