🎯 Premium LinkedIn Leads Scraper

Transform LinkedIn into a lead generation machine. This Apify Actor extracts high-quality, sales-ready leads including full profiles, headlines, company details, and contact info.

🚀 Why This Scraper?

Most scrapers only give you basic names. Our Premium Scraper is built for sales teams and growth hackers who need deep data for personalized outreach.

Key Data Extracted:

• ✅ Full Name & Professional Headline
• ✅ Current Position & Company Name
• ✅ Location (City/Country)
• ✅ Profile Image URL
• ✅ LinkedIn Profile URL
• ✅ Detailed Info (About section, Followers - Optional Deep Scrape)

🔐 Authentication (Important)

LinkedIn is sensitive to automated logins. There are two ways to authenticate:

1. Cookies (Safe & Recommended)

Using session cookies is the safest way to use this actor. It mimics your existing browser session and avoids many anti-bot triggers.

1. Install a browser extension like EditThisCookie or Cookie-Editor.
2. Log in to LinkedIn in your browser.
3. Open the extension and click Export (select JSON format).
4. Paste the resulting JSON array into the cookies field in the Actor's input.

2. Login Credentials (Use with Caution)

You can use your email and password, but this is more likely to trigger CAPTCHAs or 2FA.

• Local Dev: Set LINKEDIN_EMAIL and LINKEDIN_PASSWORD in your .env file.
• Apify Platform: Set these as Environment Variables in the Actor's settings.
