It has two run modes. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md. ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run. For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below. Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`). # README ## Live LinkedIn Profile Scraper | Miss Free **No match, no charge.** Paste a LinkedIn profile URL and get a **live full profile**, fetched when you run: headline, company, experience with dates and descriptions, education, skills, certifications, courses, languages, publications, and patents. When the profile is not found, `result` is `No match, free` and you are not charged. Starting from **$0.90 per 1,000 live profiles**. No cookies. No LinkedIn login. This Actor does not return email or phone. Mawsool is not affiliated with LinkedIn. ### No match, no charge A row with `result` = `No match, free` found no profile. `charge` is `Free`. You pay only when a live profile comes back. That is the point of a large file. A list of 10,000 URLs that returns 8,000 live profiles costs 8,000 profiles. The 2,000 that are missing cost nothing. | result | charge | What to do | | --- | --- | --- | | `Live profile` | `Charged` | Write the row back. The fields are the profile at `checkedAt`. | | `No match, free` | `Free` | Leave the URL unresolved. This row was not charged. | | `Failed` | `Free` | Run that URL again. A failed request is not charged. | ### What you get back is live Each run fetches the profile at that moment. The row is not a copy saved on the day the link was first collected. `checkedAt` is the time of this run. A live row can include: - Name, headline, about, location, and country - Current title, company, and company URL - Seniority, job function, and industry - Connections and followers - Experience, one object per role, with dates, employment type, and the description. Current roles and previous companies are both included. - Education, with school, degree, field, and years - Skills and courses - Certifications, with authority and dates - Languages, publications, patents, honors, projects, volunteer work, and organizations - Recent activity when the profile returns it | If this is what you need | Open | | --- | --- | | The URL is old, stale, or no longer opens. | [Fix Broken LinkedIn URLs](https://apify.com/oday/mawsool-fix-broken-linkedin-urls) | | You only need the current company and headline. | [Profile Freshness Check](https://apify.com/oday/mawsool-linkedin-profile-freshness) | | You stored the old company and want `needsUpdate`. | [Current Company Checker](https://apify.com/oday/mawsool-linkedin-company-checker) | | You have an email and want the LinkedIn profile. | [Reverse Email Lookup](https://apify.com/oday/mawsool-email-linkedin-lookup) | | You have a name and company and want the URL. | [LinkedIn Profile Finder](https://apify.com/oday/mawsool-linkedin-profile-finder) | | You have the URL and want the personal email. | [LinkedIn Email Finder](https://apify.com/oday/mawsool-linkedin-personal-email-finder) | | You want a scheduled alert when the job changes. | [Job Change Tracker](https://apify.com/oday/mawsool-linkedin-job-change-watch) | The same list is on [Mawsool's Apify profile](https://apify.com/oday). ### Price One live profile is one charge. A miss is free. A failed request is free. Apify plan discounts apply automatically. There is no separate monthly fee. | Plan | Per 1,000 live profiles | | --- | --- | | Free | $2.50 | | Bronze | $2.00 | | Silver | $1.60 | | Gold | $0.90 | | Platinum | $0.90 | | Diamond | $0.90 | Starting from $0.90 per 1,000. Gold, Platinum, and Diamond are $0.90 per 1,000. The free plan is $2.50 per 1,000. 10,000 live profiles cost $9 on Gold and above, $16 on Silver, and $25 on the free plan. Misses are not in that count. Widely used full-profile scrapers on Apify are listed from about $4 to $10 per 1,000. This Actor starts at $0.90, and a URL with no profile adds nothing to the bill. ### Bulk Paste one URL, a list, a CSV, or upload a file. A run accepts up to 1,000,000 profile URLs. Requests run concurrently, and a stopped file can resume: profiles already returned are skipped, so they are not charged again. Use a `url` or `linkedinUrl` column. The Live profile table is ready to import: name, headline, company, title, location, and whether the row was charged. Export JSON for experience, education, and certifications. ### Use with AI agents Apify exposes this Actor to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and other agents through the Apify MCP server. The setup prompt is: > Use oday/mawsool-live-linkedin-profile on LinkedIn profile URLs. This is a live lookup. When result is "Live profile", return the headline, company, jobTitle, experience, education, skills, and certifications. When result is "No match, free", do not charge and do not invent a profile. This Actor does not return email or phone. Starting from $0.90 per 1,000 live profiles. No cookies. ### What a live row looks like This is the full field set. Values below are an example shape. Arrays that are empty on a profile come back as `[]`. ```json { "inputUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/jordan-hale/", "linkedinUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/jordan-hale/", "result": "Live profile", "fullName": "Jordan Hale", "firstName": "Jordan", "lastName": "Hale", "headline": "VP Sales at Northwind", "jobTitle": "VP Sales", "company": "Northwind", "companyLinkedInUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/northwind/", "location": "Austin, Texas", "country": "US", "industry": "Software Development", "seniority": "VP", "jobFunction": "Sales", "connections": "500+", "followers": 4200, "about": "VP Sales at Northwind.

Yes. `No match, free` is not charged. You pay when a live profile comes back. A failed request is also free. #### Is the profile live? Yes. The headline, company, experience, education, and the other sections are fetched when the run happens. `checkedAt` is that time. #### Does this return email or phone? No. Use [LinkedIn Email Finder](https://apify.com/oday/mawsool-linkedin-personal-email-finder) when you have the profile URL and want the personal email. That lookup returns an address only on an exact match, and a miss there is also free. #### What if the URL no longer opens? Run [Fix Broken LinkedIn URLs](https://apify.com/oday/mawsool-fix-broken-linkedin-urls) first. A miss there is free, and a hit returns the current URL plus a live headline, company, title, and experience. Send the current URL here when you want the full profile. #### Can I run a large file? Yes. Up to 1,000,000 URLs. Set a resume ID on a long run. Profiles already returned are skipped on the next run. #### How do I avoid paying for every contact? If you only need the current company and headline, run [Profile Freshness Check](https://apify.com/oday/mawsool-linkedin-profile-freshness) first, starting from $0.40 per 1,000. Compare those fields to your CRM, then send the rows you want refreshed here. # Actor input Schema ## `urls` (type: `array`): Profile URLs that already open.
