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 ### What does LinkedIn Products Scraper do? **LinkedIn Products Scraper** extracts structured product data from [LinkedIn Products](https://www.linkedin.com/products/) public pages. Use it to collect product names, categories, vendor pages, descriptions, intended roles, featured customers, media labels, product URLs, and related products from LinkedIn's software and business product directory. ### Why scrape LinkedIn Products? - **Market research** — Map competitors and vendors across software categories. - **Lead enrichment** — Add product, company, and category context to CRM records. - **Category monitoring** — Track products in niches such as CRM, recruiting, payroll, analytics, and online learning. - **Product intelligence** — Export LinkedIn product profile data to JSON, CSV, Excel, or API workflows. ### What data can you extract from LinkedIn Products? | Field | Description | | --- | --- | | productName | Product name shown on LinkedIn | | productUrl / productSlug | Public LinkedIn Products profile URL and slug | | category / categoryUrl | Product category and category page URL | | companyName / companyUrl | Vendor name and LinkedIn company URL | | description | Product description from the About section | | intendedFor | Roles the product is intended for | | websiteUrl | Public learn-more or vendor landing page URL | | logoUrl / coverImageUrl | Product logo and cover image URLs | | mediaTitles | Public media titles or labels | | featuredCustomers | Customer names, industries, follower counts, and company URLs | | similarProducts | Related product references from the detail page | | otherProductsByCompany | Other products published by the same company | | sourceUrl / sourceType | Input URL or generated query that discovered the product | ### How to scrape LinkedIn Products 1. Open the Actor in Apify Console. 2. Add LinkedIn Products URLs such as `https://www.linkedin.com/products/categories/recruiting-software`, `https://www.linkedin.com/products/search/?q=crm`, or a product detail URL. 3. Optionally add search queries or category slugs. 4. Set **Maximum products per input**. 5. Run the Actor and export the dataset. ### Input LinkedIn Products Scraper accepts: - **Start URLs** — home, category, search, or product detail URLs. - **Search queries** — keywords such as `crm`, `payroll`, or `analytics`. - **Category slugs** — values such as `recruiting-software` or `customer-relationship-management-software`. - **Maximum products per input** — per input URL/query/category. - **Proxy configuration** — optional; default is no Apify Proxy. If no URLs, queries, or category slugs are provided, the scraper starts from `https://www.linkedin.com/products/`. ### Output example ```json { "productName": "LinkedIn Recruiter", "productSlug": "linkedin-recruiter", "productUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/products/linkedin-recruiter/", "category": "Recruiting Software", "categoryUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/products/categories/recruiting-software", "companyName": "LinkedIn", "companyUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/linkedin/", "description": "Linkedin Recruiter is a robust hiring platform for hiring professionals...", "intendedFor": ["Recruiter", "Human Resources Executive"], "websiteUrl": "https://business.linkedin.com/talent-solutions/recruiter?src=li-rev-prod", "featuredCustomers": [ { "name": "Dropbox", "companyUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/dropbox", "industry": "Software Development", "followers": "3,000,000 followers" } ], "sourceType": "category", "sourceValue": "recruiting-software" } ```` ### FAQ **Which URLs are supported?**\ The scraper supports LinkedIn Products home, category, search, and product detail URLs under `https://www.linkedin.com/products/`. **Does it need a browser?**\ No. LinkedIn Products public pages expose the relevant directory data in the initial HTML, so this Actor uses an HTTP crawler for lower cost. **How much does scraping LinkedIn Products cost?**\ The Actor uses Cheerio-based HTTP scraping and does not enable a proxy by default, keeping small category or search runs inexpensive. ### Image Credit Image credit: [linkedin.com](https://www.linkedin.com/products/) # Actor input Schema ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): LinkedIn Products home, category, search, or product detail URLs. If empty, the scraper starts from https://www.linkedin.com/products/. ## `searchQueries` (type: `array`): Optional keywords to search on LinkedIn Products, such as CRM, recruiting, analytics, or payroll. ## `categorySlugs` (type: `array`): Optional LinkedIn Products category slugs, such as recruiting-software or customer-relationship-management-software. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of product detail records to return per start URL, search query, or category slug. ## `includeSimilarProducts` (type: `boolean`): Include similar products and other products by the same company from product detail pages. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy settings. The scraper uses public LinkedIn Products pages and works without a proxy in many environments. ## Actor input object example ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.linkedin.com/products/categories/recruiting-software" }, { "url": "https://www.linkedin.com/products/linkedin-recruiter/" } ], "searchQueries": [ "crm" ], "categorySlugs": [ "recruiting-software" ], "maxItems": 5, "includeSimilarProducts": true, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `overview` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
