Linktree Scraper — Creator Bio Links, Emails & Leads

Turn any Linktree (linktr.ee) profile into a clean, structured lead record: creator name, bio, every link with its rich preview, normalized social handles, and the fields that actually drive outreach — emails and phone numbers. Optionally snowball-discover related creators, enrich contacts from each creator's own website, and monitor a niche for new profiles.

No login, no cookies, no browser — fast JSON extraction straight from the page's embedded data, with 99%+ reliability.

Why this Linktree scraper?

Most Linktree scrapers just dump the visible links from one URL. This actor ships the richest record in the category and turns Linktree into a real lead engine:

Use cases

• Influencer & creator lead generation — you already have a list of handles from Instagram/TikTok/YouTube; this actor resolves each to their Linktree and pulls email, phone, website and every social in one pass. Filter to hasEmailOnly for an outreach-ready list.
• Bulk prospecting (discovery) — start with a few creators in your niche and let snowball discovery follow Linktree's related-creator graph to build a large lead list automatically.
• Agency & brand outreach — find creators who sell products (sellsProducts, shop links), have a website, or accept donations, and reach them directly.
• Competitive & market research — see exactly which links, shops, socials and offers creators promote, with link previews.
• List maintenance & monitoring — schedule recurring runs with monitor mode to capture only newly discovered creators in a niche.

How to use

1. Sign up for Apify — the free plan is enough to try this actor.
2. Open the Linktree Scraper, paste profile URLs / usernames (or turn on discovery), and click Start.
3. Watch results stream into the dataset table.
4. Export as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or RSS — or pull results programmatically via the Apify API.

Input

{
    "profileUrls": ["https://linktr.ee/garyvee"],
    "usernames": ["mkbhd", "@natgeo"],
    "discoverRelatedProfiles": true,
    "discoveryDepth": 2,
    "maxProfiles": 200,
    "enrichContactEmails": true,
    "hasEmailOnly": true
}

• profileUrls — full Linktree URLs (https://linktr.ee/...).
• usernames — bare usernames or @handles. A social-media URL works too — its handle is tried against linktr.ee (creators reuse the same handle).
• startUrls — generic URL list; anything that resolves to a Linktree username is scraped.
• discoverRelatedProfiles (default false) — snowball out to related/SEO-linked creators that Linktree lists on every page.
• discoveryDepth (default 2) — how many hops to snowball when discovery is on.
• maxProfiles (default 100) — max profiles to fetch in one run (the cost/work budget).
• enrichContactEmails (default false) — crawl each creator's own website (home + contact/about) for extra emails, phones and socials.
• includeLinkPreviews (default true) — attach each link's preview (title/description/image).
• hasEmailOnly / verifiedOnly / countryFilter / minLinks — output filters.
• monitorMode / monitorKey — return only profiles not seen in previous runs.
• maxConcurrency / proxyConfiguration — performance & proxy.

Automate & schedule

Run this actor on autopilot and pull results into your own stack:

• Apify API — start runs, fetch datasets, and manage schedules over REST.
• apify-client for JavaScript and apify-client for Python — official SDKs.
• Schedules — run it daily/weekly to monitor a niche for new creators; pair with monitorMode to capture only new profiles.
• Webhooks — trigger downstream actions (CRM import, Slack alert, email sequence) the moment a run finishes.

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'MY_APIFY_TOKEN' });

const run = await client.actor('scrapesage/linktree-scraper').call({
    usernames: ['garyvee', 'mkbhd'],
    discoverRelatedProfiles: true,
    maxProfiles: 200,
    enrichContactEmails: true,
    hasEmailOnly: true,
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(`Got ${items.length} creator leads`);

Integrate with any app

Connect the dataset to 5,000+ apps — no code required:

• Make — multi-step automation scenarios.
• Zapier — push new creator leads straight into your CRM.
• Slack — get notified when a monitored niche surfaces new creators.
• Google Drive / Sheets — auto-export every run to a spreadsheet.
• Airbyte — pipe results into your data warehouse.
• GitHub — trigger runs from commits or releases.

Use with AI assistants (MCP)

The output is clean, LLM-ready JSON. You can call this actor from Claude, ChatGPT, or any agent framework through the Apify MCP server — ask your assistant to "find fitness creators on Linktree with an email and a shop" and let it run this scraper for you.

Agent-ready: autonomous payments (x402 & Skyfire)

This actor is agent-ready — AI agents can discover it, run it, and pay for it autonomously, with no Apify account and no human in the loop. It uses pay-per-event pricing and limited permissions, so it qualifies for Apify's agentic-payment standards:

• x402 — an open, HTTP-native payment protocol. Agents pay per run in USDC on the Base network directly through the Apify MCP server — no account, no API key.
• Skyfire — agent-to-service payments for fully autonomous AI-agent workflows.

Building an AI agent, MCP tool, or autonomous data pipeline? This scraper is ready to plug in and pay as it goes.

Tips

• You have handles, not Linktree URLs? Drop the handles into usernames — the scraper tries linktr.ee/<handle> (creators almost always reuse the same handle). Profiles that don't exist are skipped quietly.
• Bulk lists: turn on discoverRelatedProfiles with a few strong seed creators and raise maxProfiles to snowball a niche.
• Outreach-ready only: set enrichContactEmails: true and hasEmailOnly: true to keep just the profiles with a real email.
• Cost control: maxProfiles caps the work; email enrichment only runs for creators that actually link a website.
• Monitoring: combine Schedules with monitorMode to capture only newly found creators each run.

FAQ

Do I need a Linktree login or API key? No. The actor reads the public profile's embedded data — the same content any visitor sees.

Where do the emails come from? From the creator's own published contact links (Linktree EMAIL/mailto: links and bio text) and, with enrichContactEmails, from their own public website. Nothing private is accessed.

Can it scrape usernames I only have from Instagram/TikTok? Yes — paste the handle or the social URL; the actor tries the matching Linktree username.

Can I export to Google Sheets, CSV, or Excel? Yes — one click in the dataset view, or automatically on every run via the Google Drive integration.

How do I get only new creators over time? Turn on monitorMode and run on a Schedule — each run returns only profiles not seen before.

A field is null — why? Some creators simply don't publish an email, phone, website or country. Fields are null only when the data doesn't exist, not because the scraper skipped them.

Is scraping Linktree legal? This actor collects publicly available data only. You are responsible for using the data in compliance with applicable laws (GDPR/CCPA for personal data) and Linktree's terms.
