❓ FAQ

🔍 How does it work? The scraper visits each LinkedIn profile URL, extracts data from the public page using HTML parsing and JSON-LD structured data, and returns the information as JSON records.

📊 Is the data accurate? Yes. The scraper extracts only information visible on public LinkedIn profiles. LinkedIn controls what data is public, and we extract exactly what's shown on the page.

📅 Can I schedule this to run automatically? Yes. You can integrate this actor with Make, Zapier, or use Apify's scheduling feature to run collections on a recurring basis.

⚖️ Is scraping LinkedIn allowed? The scraper collects only public profile data that LinkedIn displays to any visitor. You must comply with LinkedIn's Terms of Service and local laws regarding data use. LinkedIn's robots.txt allows automated access with proper proxy use. Always use residential proxies to avoid blocks and verify that your use case complies with LinkedIn's policies.

🛡️ Will LinkedIn block me? LinkedIn actively blocks automated access from datacenter IPs. Use residential proxies (we provide them by default) to avoid blocks. If you hit rate limits, the scraper automatically retries with exponential backoff.

⚡ How long does a run take? Each profile typically takes 3-10 seconds depending on content size and proxy latency. Batch processing with concurrent requests speeds things up. For example, 50 profiles usually complete in 5-15 minutes.

⚠️ Are there any limits? Free users can collect up to 100 results per run. Paid users can collect up to 1,000,000 results per run.
