How does it work?

The LinkedIn Profile Finder follows a simple keyword-to-profile discovery workflow:

1. Add search keywords

Enter one or more professional roles, job titles, or related keywords in the keywords field.

{

"keywords": ["software engineer", "marketing manager"]

}

2. Select a country

Set the country field to define the target market for your profile search.

{

"keywords": ["software engineer"],

"country": "United States"

}

For company-specific employee discovery, add companyName to the input.

6. Handle unsuccessful searches

If a run produces no matching results, the Actor returns a diagnostic error row instead of treating the run as a normal profile result. This helps identify issues such as no matching results, missing keywords, proxy setup problems, or unexpected errors.
