LinkedIn Public Pages Scraper — Apify Actor

Scrapes public LinkedIn data — profiles, company pages, job listings, job search results, and articles — without any third-party scraping API. Uses Apify Proxy (RESIDENTIAL group) for IP rotation

Modes

Mode	Input	What you get
profile	List of linkedin.com/in/<handle>/ URLs	JSON-LD Person schema + public posts
company	List of linkedin.com/company/<slug>/ URLs	Organization microdata + "About us" fields + leaders/affiliated pages (fetches the /life sub-page automatically)
job	List of linkedin.com/jobs/view/<id> URLs	JSON-LD JobPosting schema + description bullets
article	List of linkedin.com/pulse/<slug> URLs	JSON-LD Article schema + full article body
jobSearch	searchKeyword + searchLocation + maxSearchPages	Paginated list of jobs (25 per page)

Input example

{
  "mode": "profile",
  "startUrls": [
    { "url": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/williamhgates/" },
    { "url": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/satyanadella/" }
  ],
  "maxConcurrency": 3,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]
  }
}

{
  "mode": "jobSearch",
  "searchKeyword": "python developer",
  "searchLocation": "San Francisco, CA",
  "maxSearchPages": 4,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]
  }
}

Output

Each scraped item is pushed to the actor's default dataset with the shape:

{
  "mode": "profile",
  "url": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/williamhgates/",
  "data": {
    "profile": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Bill Gates", "...": "..." },
    "posts": [ ... ]
  }
}

Failed fetches land in the same dataset with error: "fetch_failed" and data: null so you can audit coverage and re-run only the failures.

Proxy — important

LinkedIn aggressively blocks datacenter IPs and will return HTTP 999 ("please log in") on the first few requests from a fresh IP. Set apifyProxyGroups: ["RESIDENTIAL"] — this costs more than the default proxy group but is effectively required. Without it, expect empty results.

If you still see blocks with RESIDENTIAL, try:

• Lower maxConcurrency to 1 or 2.
• Slower is better — LinkedIn tracks velocity per IP.
• Split your URL list into smaller runs spread across hours.
