How to Scrape LinkedIn Profile Data

1. Enter profile identifiers — provide one or more LinkedIn usernames or profile URLs
2. Configure proxy — Apify Residential proxies are used automatically when running on Apify (no config needed). For local testing, set custom proxyUrls in test_input.json.
3. Run the Actor — execute on Apify platform or via API
4. Download data — export as JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML, or XML from the dataset

Input

Configure these fields in the Input tab when running the Actor:

Field	Type	Required	Description
profiles	array[string]	Yes	Profile usernames or URLs (e.g. ["faizanaliii", "https://www.linkedin.com/in/faizanaliii"])
concurrency	integer	No	Number of parallel workers (1–10, default 3)
proxyConfiguration	object	No	Proxy settings (Apify Residential by default on Apify platform)

Input JSON Example (Apify platform — default proxy)

{
  "profiles": [
    "jeffweiner08",
    "https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffweiner08"
  ],
  "concurrency": 3
}

Apify Residential proxies are applied automatically when proxyConfiguration is omitted.

Input JSON Example (local testing with custom proxy)

{
  "profiles": ["jeffweiner08"],
  "concurrency": 3,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false,
    "proxyUrls": ["http://user:pass@your-proxy-host:823"]
  }
}

Output

Each dataset item is a complete LinkedIn profile object. Download in JSON, CSV, HTML, or Excel from the Apify Console.

Jeff has showed up for me in ways that have changed the trajectory of my career and life, and he did so without knowing me, initially. While I was searching for an internship in 2017, Jeff showed up (commented on my LinkedIn post) and said “Akosua, would be surprised if something doesn’t materialize.” This played a massive part in where I am in my career at Microsoft today. He showed up to support my first LinkedIn Live stream as a beta tester for the feature. I told him the day and time. I was nervous, had never beta tested anything before. I asked the audience “can anyone see and hear me?” and he showed up, saying, “can hear and see you perfectly”. His support is incredible. When I wrote my first article documenting #theBOLDjourney, Jeff showed up - “This is just the beginning.” Again with the encouragement. To say the least, Jeff has used his power and platform as CEO of LinkedIn to not only empower me but, to uplift millions, globally. In addition, through the #plusonepledge he initiated during his tenure, he ensured that others show up for one another, as well. Jeff, thank you for always showing up. And for embodying the true meaning of the Ngoni Bantu word, “Ubuntu” (I am, because we are)."

Jeff was our executive sponsor on this project and he was our strongest and most passionate advocate. His knowledge of the consumer Internet and youth media space was invaluable and his strategic eye was instrumental in moving our product from a hack day idea into a full beta. On this project Jeff also demonstrated his deep and unwavering commitment to social responsibility. Jeff is a doer. Throughout his tenure on this project he was always more than willing to channel the many resources at Yahoo!, as well as his many connections, to help improve public education in this country. Jeff is a truly exceptional, visionary and inspiring leader. It was a true pleasure to have had the opportunity to work for Jeff Weiner. It was, and continues to be, a highlight of my career."

Running via API

Python

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

run_input = {
    "profiles": ["faizanaliii"],
}

run = client.actor("rigelbytes/linkedin-profile-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

JavaScript

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' });

const input = {
    "profiles": ["faizanaliii"],
};

const run = await client.actor("rigelbytes/linkedin-profile-scraper").call(input);

cURL

API_TOKEN=<YOUR_API_TOKEN>

cat > input.json <<'EOF'
{
  "profiles": ["faizanaliii"]
}
EOF

curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/rigelbytes/linkedin-profile-scraper/runs?token=$API_TOKEN" \
  -X POST \
  -d @input.json \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json'

Tips for Optimizing Runs

• Use correct usernames — ensure profile usernames are valid. The username is the part after /in/ in the profile URL
• Set proxy for local runs — use custom proxyUrls in test_input.json; on Apify, Residential proxies are the default
• Multiple profiles — pass multiple profile identifiers in one run for batch scraping
• Monitor logs — Actor logs show which profile is being scraped and progress
• Set a spending limit — configure a maximum total charge per run in Apify Console to control costs

FAQ, Disclaimers, and Support

Is this legal?

This tool scrapes publicly available data from LinkedIn. Users are responsible for complying with LinkedIn's Terms of Service and applicable laws. This scraper is designed for legitimate data analysis and research purposes.

How fast is it?

The scraper uses a concurrent producer-consumer architecture with 3 parallel workers by default. Each profile typically takes 5–15 seconds on success. Failed profiles retry up to 3 strategies (rnet Chrome145, curl-cffi fallback, Google referral) with a fresh proxy per attempt.

What happens if a profile fails?

Failed profiles are silently skipped — the dataset includes whatever data was successfully extracted. Each profile gets up to 3 fetch attempts with different strategies before failing.

Can I scrape private profiles?

No, this scraper only extracts publicly available information visible on LinkedIn public profiles.
