## Pricing

from $1.40 / 1,000 profiles

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## LinkedIn Profile Scraper + Email (No Cookies)

Extract detailed information from LinkedIn profiles in bulk, including complete work experience, education history, skills and more. No cookies or account required.

Web scrape a LinkedIn profile URL or handle. Example: `williamhgates` from `https://www.linkedin.com/in/williamhgates`. Find people by URL. No login, no cookie, no account. Default is the public profile. Find a LinkedIn email only when you ask. Email is not on the LinkedIn page. We search for it. You pay only when one is found. Not every profile returns an email.

### Key Benefits

- No cookies or account required
- $1.40 per 1,000 profiles
- Work email $0.03 only if found
- Verified email $0.008 and direct dial $0.20, hits only
- Misses are free
- Limited permissions

### How it works

Paste LinkedIn profile URLs or the handle from the URL. Mix them. Default is Profile only. Turn on work email, verified email, or contact-ready if you want those. The email search is separate and is not guaranteed.

Run it from the Apify console or the API and get profile information as JSON. Download or export the dataset from the run (CSV, JSON, Excel, XML, HTML). Does not download a LinkedIn profile PDF, ZIP, Word file, markdown, CV, or resume, and it is not a browser extension or mobile app.

The row includes the profile picture / pic URL when the page has one, including HD if the page serves it. Scrape LinkedIn profile pictures as URLs. Cover and banner images from posts are dropped.

Also in this family: [LinkedIn company scraper](https://apify.com/reapx/linkedin-company-scraper), [LinkedIn job scraper](https://apify.com/reapx/linkedin-job-scraper), [LinkedIn search scraper](https://apify.com/reapx/linkedin-search-scraper), [LinkedIn email scraper](https://apify.com/reapx/linkedin-email-scraper), [LinkedIn post scraper](https://apify.com/reapx/linkedin-post-scraper).

### Data you'll receive

- Name, headline, and about
- Company and current title when the page publishes them
- Work experience objects (company, position)
- Education objects (school, degree)
- Location and country
- Skills when present
- Profile picture
- LinkedIn email and direct dial, only on a hit
- Profile URL and username

```json
{
  "name": "Bill Gates",
  "headline": "Chair, Gates Foundation and Founder, Breakthrough Energy",
  "linkedinUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/williamhgates",
  "username": "williamhgates",
  "experience": [{ "companyName": "Gates Foundation", "position": "Chair" }],
  "education": [{ "schoolName": "Harvard University" }],
  "workEmail": null,
  "phone": null
}
```

You are charged only for a profile that returned data. Not-found and error rows are free.

# Actor input Schema

## `targets` (type: `array`):

LinkedIn profile URLs or the handle from the URL (williamhgates). Mix them. One box.

## `enrich` (type: `string`):

Default is the public profile. Email is not on the LinkedIn page; we search for it. No hit, no email charge. Direct dial is the last hop, never billed on a miss.

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

You pay per profile returned, not per URL pasted.

## `maxSeconds` (type: `integer`):

Stop cleanly and keep the people already found.

## `includeEmpty` (type: `boolean`):

Adds an unbilled row when a target returns nothing. Never charged.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "targets": [
    "https://www.linkedin.com/in/williamhgates",
    "https://www.linkedin.com/in/satyanadella"
  ],
  "enrich": "off",
  "maxResults": 100,
  "maxSeconds": 240,
  "includeEmpty": false
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `dataset` (type: `string`):

Dataset of LinkedIn people. workEmail and phone are null unless Find contact scored a hit.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "targets": [
        "https://www.linkedin.com/in/williamhgates",
        "https://www.linkedin.com/in/satyanadella"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("reapx/linkedin-profile-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = { "targets": [
        "https://www.linkedin.com/in/williamhgates",
        "https://www.linkedin.com/in/satyanadella",
    ] }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("reapx/linkedin-profile-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "targets": [
    "https://www.linkedin.com/in/williamhgates",
    "https://www.linkedin.com/in/satyanadella"
  ]
}' |
apify call reapx/linkedin-profile-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,reapx/linkedin-profile-scraper"
        }
    }
}

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
