LinkedIn Profile Scraper — No Login, No Cookies

Scrape LinkedIn profiles from a list of URLs with no login and no cookies. Paste profile URLs and get each person's name, headline, location, about, current company, work history with dates, schools with degrees and top skills, as clean JSON or CSV.

No LinkedIn account of yours is involved: each profile is read as LinkedIn shows it to logged-out visitors, so there is no session to get restricted and nothing to export from your browser.

Input	Rows emitted
LinkedIn profile URLs	One public profile per URL

No browser and no headless Chrome. Profiles come from a public-profile data source over plain HTTP.

You pay per profile delivered: $0.003 each. A profile that is deleted, mistyped or hidden from logged-out visitors is not billed, and a run that returns nothing costs half a cent (the $0.005 start fee), never dollars.

Switching from another LinkedIn profile scraper?

If you've been burned elsewhere, here is exactly how this actor behaves on the failure modes people complain about most:

What happens elsewhere	What happens here
"My account got restricted"	No account is used. You never paste cookies or log in.
"Charged $2 and got an empty JSON"	Profile charges fire only when a profile row lands in your dataset. Nothing delivered = $0.005 total for the run start, nothing more.
"Aborted runs charged in full"	Pay-per-event billing accrues per delivered row. Abort a run and you pay only for the profiles already in your dataset at that moment.
"Anomalous billing across runs"	Every event is listed on the pricing tab. A 1,000-profile run is about $3.01, so you can predict the bill before you press Start.

How it works

1. You paste profile URLs. Anything of the form https://www.linkedin.com/in/<name>/.
2. Each profile is read without a login. The actor asks a public-profile data source for the profile LinkedIn shows to logged-out visitors. Nothing of yours is used.
3. It writes one row per person to the dataset, ready to export as JSON, CSV or Excel. Profiles that do not exist or are hidden are skipped, counted in the status message, and not billed.

Pay per event. No monthly rental.

Actor start	Once per run, per GB of memory	$0.005

Profile without login	Each profile written, on top of the dataset item	$0.002

A 1,000-profile run costs about $3.01.

No profiles, no profile charges. Both profile events fire only when a profile row is actually written. A profile that does not exist or is hidden is not billed, and an empty run costs $0.005, full stop.

FAQ

Do I need a LinkedIn account or cookie? No. Paste profile URLs and press Start.

Can my account get restricted? Not by this actor: no account is used at all.

Why is a profile missing from my results? Its owner deleted it, the URL is mistyped, or the owner hides it from logged-out visitors. Those are skipped, counted in the run's status message, and not billed.

Why are some dates or fields empty? The profile does not show them publicly. The actor leaves a field empty rather than guessing a value.

The run returned nothing — am I still charged? Only the $0.005 start fee. The profile charges fire per row written to your dataset, so a run with zero results can never cost you dollars.

🤖 For AI Agents & LLM Apps

Purpose: Extract public LinkedIn profile records — identity, headline, location, about, current company, work history, education, top skills — from profile URLs, with no LinkedIn login.

Auth: None.

Minimal tested input:

{
  "startUrls": [{"url":"https://www.linkedin.com/in/williamhgates/"}],
  "maxItems": 1
}

Output fields (loggedIn: false): firstName, lastName, headline, location, publicIdentifier, profileUrl, about, currentCompany, currentCompanyUrl, followerCount, connectionCount, workHistory[] (title, company, companyUrl, date, isCurrent), education[] (school, schoolUrl, degree, date), skills[] (top 3), isPremium, isVerified, openToWork, profilePictureUrl, backgroundPictureUrl, accountCreatedAt, userHandle, scrapedAt.

Billing: $0.005 per run start (per GB), $0.001 per profile returned plus $0.002 (event public-profile), so $0.003 per profile.

Failure modes worth handling: a deleted, mistyped or hidden profile is skipped and not billed, and the status message counts them; fields a profile does not show come back as "" or [] rather than being omitted or guessed.
