Linkedin Open Profile Status

LinkedIn Open Profile Status

This Actor checks whether a LinkedIn profile shows Open to work.

It uses two strategies (based on your original scripts):

• HTTP + HTML signal extraction (fast)
• Playwright badge detection (more robust)

It starts with no proxy and only falls back to proxies if LinkedIn blocks the request.

Key Features

• Bulk input (URLs and/or keywords)
• Detailed Apify logs (proxy events, blocks, retries)
• Proxy fallback ladder:
  • Direct → Datacenter proxy → Residential proxy (retry residential 3x)
  • Once residential is used, the Actor sticks to residential for the remaining requests
• Live saving to dataset

Input

Example input:

{
  "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/ajjames" }],
  "keywords": [],
  "liAtCookie": "YOUR_LI_AT_COOKIE",
  "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false },
  "maxConcurrency": 1,
  "pageTimeoutSeconds": 60
}

Input fields

• startUrls: bulk URL input (recommended)
• urls: optional array of URLs
• keywords: optional array of public identifiers (e.g., "ajjames")
• liAtCookie: optional li_at cookie value (recommended to reduce blocking)
• proxyConfiguration: Apify proxy UI field (default: no proxy)
• maxConcurrency: concurrency (keep low to avoid blocks)
• pageTimeoutSeconds: Playwright page timeout

Output

Single profile

The Actor writes OUTPUT in the key-value store using this shape:

{
  "data": { "open_to_work": false },
  "message": "ok"
}

Bulk

For multiple profiles, OUTPUT is an array of:

{ "url": "...", "data": { "open_to_work": false }, "message": "ok" }

All results are also saved to the default dataset.
