## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## 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.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

### LinkedIn Profile Details Extractor and Email Finder

Our powerful tool allows you to gather detailed information from LinkedIn profiles while prioritizing security and adhering to platform policies. You can collect complete data from the experience, education, and skills sections of any profile.

Optionally, our tool can also try to find **email addresses** for LinkedIn profiles, which is ideal for lead generation, recruitment, and networking. We perform comprehensive validation checks, including SMTP checks, to ensure the email addresses are valid and deliverable. Adaptive cost: if a LinkedIn profile is not complete enough to perform the email search - we will not charge you for the search.

#### Key Benefits

- No cookies or account required: Access profile data without sharing cookies or risking account restrictions
- Low pricing: $4 per 1000 detailed profiles or $10 per 1000 profiles with email address search.
- Fast response times & concurrency.
- Real-time scraping - fresh data.

### How It Works

Simply provide one of the following:

- List of LinkedIn public identifiers (e.g., `williamhgates` from `https://www.linkedin.com/in/williamhgates`)
- List of LinkedIn profile URLs
- List if LinkedIn profile IDs (e.g. ACoAAA8BYqEBCGLg_vT_ca6mMEqkpp9nVffJ3hc)

##### Email search

By selecting the "Profile details + email search ($10 per 1k)" profile scraper mode, you can enable our tool to perform email search for LinkedIn profiles, which is ideal for lead generation, recruitment, and networking. We perform comprehensive validation checks, including SMTP checks, to ensure the email addresses are valid and deliverable. Adaptive cost: if a LinkedIn profile is not complete enough to perform the email search - we will not charge you for the search.  
**Important Note:** The scraper cannot extract emails directly from a LinkedIn profile as this information is not publicly available on the platform. The email search is performed independently and **it is not guaranteed to find an email for every profile.**

#### Data You’ll Receive

- `headline` — the profile headline
- `about` — the about/summary section
- `previousExperience` — the third experience entry (index 2) formatted as `"position: X, Company name: Y"`, or `undefined` if not present

#### Sample output data

Here is the sample output of this actor:

```json
{
  "headline": "Pharmacology | Medical Science Liasion | Pharmacovigilence | Regulatory Toxicologist | Process Validation | Project Management | Leadership | Photography",
  "about": "I find myself at a unique crossroads where science meets compassion...",
  "previousExperience": "position: Intern Pharmacist | Immunization Administration, Patient Counseling, Medication Safety, Company name: CVS Health",
  "originalQuery": {
    "publicIdentifier": "towhid-rahman"
  }
}
````

### Linkedin profiles API

The actor stores results in a dataset. You can export data in various formats such as CSV, JSON, XLS, etc. You can scrape and access data on demand using API.

#### Support and Feedback

We continuously enhance our tools based on user feedback. If you encounter technical issues or have suggestions for improvement:
