LinkedIn Scraper (Apify Actor)

Apify actor that scrapes LinkedIn public pages in five modes:

Input field	What it gets
jobSearches	Job search results — title, company, location, posted date, job & company URLs
jobUrls	Full job posting detail (description, seniority, employment type, etc.)
profileUrls	Public profile JSON (name, headline, experience, education, skills)
companyUrls	Company overview + life data merged into one record per company
articleUrls	LinkedIn Pulse article body and metadata

Every pushed item carries _type plus context tags:

// _type=job_search_result (one per job in the results list)
{
  "_type": "job_search_result",
  "_query": "Python Developer",
  "_location": "United States",
  "title": "Software Engineer, New Grad",
  "company": "Notion",
  "address": "San Francisco, CA",
  "timeAdded": "2026-04-24",
  "jobUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/software-engineer-new-grad-at-notion-4406118990",
  "companyUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/notionhq"
}

// _type=job (full job detail per URL)
{
  "_type": "job",
  "_sourceUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/python-developer-...",
  // ...full job object
}

// _type=profile / company / article  — same pattern

Mode	Reliability without auth	Notes
Job search	High	Public, indexed by search engines
Job detail	Medium	Public detail pages
Profile	Low–Medium	LinkedIn often returns blank fields
Company	Medium	Two requests per URL (overview + life)
Article	Medium	Pulse article body extraction

Proxy

LinkedIn aggressively blocks datacenter IPs. The default input enables Apify Proxy with the RESIDENTIAL group — required for any mode beyond job search. Override with your own proxy URL via standard Apify proxy input fields if you prefer.

Run locally with the Apify CLI

npm install -g apify-cli
apify login
cd linkedin-actor
apify run --purge

Deploy:

$apify push

Run on Apify without the CLI

1. Zip the contents of this folder (top of zip = .actor/, src/, Dockerfile, requirements.txt, README.md).
2. https://console.apify.com → Actors → Create new → Upload zip → drop the zip.
3. Build (~3 min, mostly Playwright/Chromium pull).
4. Start, fill in input, run.
