How it works

flowchart LR
    A[Company URL] --> B[Public people page<br/>no auth needed]
    B --> C[Parse insight cards<br/>locations roles skills schools]
    B --> D[Parse featured employee cards]
    C --> E[Normalize into discrete rows]
    D --> E
    E --> F[Push one row per company]
    F --> G[(JSON CSV Excel API)]
    B -.fallback.-> H[Landing page for headcount]
    H --> E

The actor hits the public people page first. If LinkedIn gates that surface for your IP, it falls back to the company landing page and pulls total headcount and company name from public meta tags. No cookie passes through the actor at any stage.

FAQ

Do I need a LinkedIn account or cookie?

No. The actor only touches LinkedIn's public people and landing pages. Your account is never touched.

Can I get the full employee list of a 50,000 person company?

No. The full employee list is gated behind a logged in session and is not exposed publicly. This actor returns the public distribution counts (locations, roles, skills, schools) plus whatever featured employee cards LinkedIn renders to anonymous visitors. For most companies that is a small set of profiles, not the whole roster.

What if the people page is gated for anonymous viewers?

The actor falls back to the company landing page and pulls total headcount and company name from JSON-LD and Open Graph tags. The insights and featured employee arrays may be empty in that path.

Can I scrape schools or showcase pages?

Yes. URLs in the form linkedin.com/school/{handle}/ and linkedin.com/showcase/{handle}/ are supported alongside linkedin.com/company/{handle}/.

How fresh is the data?

Each run hits the live people page, so headcount and distribution counts reflect what LinkedIn renders at scrape time. Schedule weekly runs to track hiring trends and team composition over time.

Is scraping LinkedIn allowed?

This actor reads HTML any anonymous web visitor can see. Respect LinkedIn's terms and rate limit sensibly. Do not redistribute personal data you have no lawful basis to process.
