## 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.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## LinkedIn Profile Extractor + Verified Email

Paste in a list of LinkedIn profile URLs. Get back a clean contact spreadsheet — name, company, title, and verified email — ready to load into your outreach sequence, CRM, or Apollo.

This actor does what it would take three separate tools to do: it pulls the full profile, finds the email address, verifies it's actually deliverable, and packages everything into one clean output. No manual copy-pasting, no stitching together data from multiple exports.

### Why sales teams use this

You've done the research. You've found the people on LinkedIn. The bottleneck is turning those 200 profile URLs into 200 verified email addresses without paying $500/month for Hunter + LinkedIn Premium + a data enrichment tool.

This actor handles all of it for $20 per 1,000 contacts.

### What you get for each profile

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Full name | First + last |
| Email | Verified business email |
| Email status | valid / risky / unknown |
| Job title | Current role |
| Company | Current employer |
| Company domain | Used for email finding |
| Headline | LinkedIn headline |
| Location | City, region, country |
| LinkedIn URL | Input URL, confirmed |
| Follower count | Profile authority signal |
| Summary | About section |
| Work history | All past positions |
| Education | Degrees and institutions |
| Skills | Up to 50 listed skills |
| Certifications | Professional certs |

### How to run it

1. Open the actor, paste your LinkedIn profile URLs into the input box (one per line, or as a list)
2. Toggle email finding on (default: on)
3. Hit Run
4. Download your results as CSV or JSON when the run completes

That's it. Average runtime is about 2–3 minutes per 100 profiles.

### Works with Sales Navigator

Already building your list in Sales Navigator? Copy the profile URLs directly. The actor accepts both `linkedin.com/in/` and `linkedin.com/sales/people/` formats.

### Integrations

Connect this actor into your existing workflow:

- **Clay** — use Apify's native Clay integration to run this actor inside your Clay table as an enrichment column
- **Make (Integromat)** — trigger this actor from a scenario, receive results via webhook
- **n8n** — call via HTTP node, map fields to your next step
- **Zapier** — Apify's Zapier integration lets you chain this into any zap

### Sample output (CSV preview)

| Name | Email | Email Status | Title | Company | Location |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| James Rivera | james@frontapp.com | valid | Head of Partnerships | Front | Austin, TX |
| Priya Shah | p.shah@notion.so | valid | Senior AE | Notion | Remote |
| Dan Wu | — | unknown | SDR | Outreach | Seattle, WA |

### Pricing

Pay only when results are delivered:
- **$20 per 1,000 leads with verified email**
- **$8 per 1,000 profiles without email**

No subscription. Cancel anytime (there's nothing to cancel).

### FAQ

**I already have emails from Apollo — why use this?**
Apollo coverage drops off sharply for mid-market and startup contacts. This actor verifies emails independently, so you'll often recover contacts that Apollo shows as "email not found."

**What if I only have 50 profiles to enrich?**
No problem. There's no minimum. You'll be charged for exactly 50 results.

**How long does a run take?**
Roughly 60–90 seconds per 100 profiles when email finding is on. A list of 500 profiles takes about 8–12 minutes.

**Can I run this on a schedule?**
Yes. Use Apify's built-in scheduler to re-enrich a list weekly or monthly, useful if you're monitoring a specific segment for job changes.

**Is this GDPR compliant?**
The actor scrapes publicly visible LinkedIn data only. No login, no private data access. Compliance with data regulations is the responsibility of the end user.
