LinkedIn Profile Scraper

Find people by what they do, and get their public LinkedIn profile. No login, no session cookie of your own, nothing to paste from your browser.

Type the kind of phrase you would use to describe someone, like ecommerce manager netherlands, and get back a table of people: name, role, current employer, location, follower and connection counts, their About text and their education.

You can also pass profile URLs you already have, as full links or bare slugs, and combine both in one run.

What you get, and the one thing you do not

Job titles per position are not available. LinkedIn ships that field empty to anonymous visitors, on every position, on every profile tested. So positions tells you where somebody worked and roughly where they were based, not what they were called there. Dates are withheld the same way.

The row carries titles_available so you can see this is a property of the source rather than a gap in the run. If LinkedIn ever changes it, that flag goes true and the column fills itself.

This is why headline matters. The search index kept the person's role from when their profile was crawlable, so the index knows the role and the live page knows the employer. One search returned "Edo Voets - E-Commerce Manager" while the live page for the same person says "Moët Hennessy Nederland BV". Neither half is complete on its own, which is why both are on the row.

Searching

People searches takes a phrase per line and looks it up in the public profile index. Search pages per phrase decides how deep, at roughly seven to eleven profiles per page.

Write the phrase the way the person would describe themselves, because that is what the index matched on. head of procurement retail germany works; decision maker in supply chain does not, because nobody writes that on their profile.

Country steers both halves: it picks the index's market and decides where the profile is read from, and LinkedIn serves the page in that country's language, so a Dutch profile read through nl comes back with Dutch labels.

Errors

A profile that was found but not read still appears as a row, with

fetched: false

Raise Attempts per profile if you see blocked. Only profiles that were actually read are billed.

A note on reliability

Access here is narrow and can change without warning. If a run suddenly returns blocked across the board where it worked last week, that is what has happened; it is not your search phrase. Check profilesRead against profilesFound in the run summary, which is exactly the ratio that tells the two apart.
