## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. 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

### 🚀 LinkedIn People Search Scraper

Find LinkedIn profiles by **job title, company and location** — no LinkedIn account, cookies or login. The **LinkedIn People Search Scraper** turns a list of roles ("Head of Marketing", "CTO") and places ("London", "Berlin") into a clean list of people with their name, current title, company, location, country and profile URL. Use it to build prospect lists, source candidates or map who holds a role at the companies you care about.

### ✨ Features

- 🎯 **Search by title, company and location**: every title is combined with every company and location you enter, so one run covers a whole target list.
- 👤 **Ready-to-use profile rows**: name, current title, company, location, country, a short profile snippet and the canonical `linkedin.com/in/…` URL.
- ✅ **Match confidence on every row**: `high` when the profile itself confirms the title, company and location you asked for; `medium` when nothing contradicts your search but part of it is not shown publicly.
- 🧹 **No off-target rows**: profiles whose own location, company or title contradicts your search (a "Berlin" surname in New Zealand, a different employer) are left out — you do not pay for them.
- 🔁 **No duplicates**: each profile is returned once per run, even when it matches several of your searches.
- 🔓 **No login**: works from publicly indexed profile information only.

### 🛠️ How It Works

1. **Enter job titles** – e.g. `Head of Marketing`, `CTO`. Add companies and locations to narrow the search (both optional).
2. **Optionally add keywords** – words every profile should mention, e.g. `fintech`.
3. **Set Max profiles** and run – profiles appear in the dataset page by page; export to JSON, CSV or Excel.

#### Input

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `titles` | Job titles to find. Abbreviations and long forms match each other (CTO ↔ Chief Technology Officer). |
| `companies` | Optional company names. |
| `locations` | Optional cities, regions or countries. |
| `keywords` | Optional extra words, e.g. an industry. |
| `country` | Country the search runs from (`gb`, `de`, `co.uk`, …). Leave `com` for worldwide. |
| `maxItems` | Maximum number of unique profiles (default 50). |

```

### 💰 Pricing

Pay per result: **$0.005 per profile** returned (plus a tiny run start fee). Profiles that contradict your search are never returned or charged. Set a maximum cost per run in the run options and the scraper stops when it is reached.

### ℹ️ Good to know

- Results come from publicly indexed LinkedIn profiles. A title × location search typically yields a few hundred people (tested: 150 of 150 for "Head of Marketing" in London); very narrow searches can run out earlier, and the status message tells you when that happens before `maxItems`.
- For location searches, profiles LinkedIn lists under a different country are left out; profiles with no public country are kept.
- `followers` is only filled when the public snippet shows it.
- Some profiles do not show a location or company publicly; those rows are marked `medium` confidence.
- Emails and phone numbers are not included.
