LinkedIn People Search Scraper — No Cookies

Find people on LinkedIn by name, job title, company, school, industry, or location. No login, no cookie, no browser session — and no LinkedIn Sales Navigator seat.

Every row carries a urn and a public_identifier, so search results feed straight into the profile, posts, and reactions Actors.

Input

Every field is optional — combine whichever you have.

Field	Type	What it does
name	string	Full name to search for.
first_name	string	First name.
last_name	string	Last name.
title	string	Job title.
company	string	Company associated with the person.
current_company	string	Only people currently working there.
school	string	School attended.
geocode_location	string	Place name to search in.
industry	string	Industry.
profile_language	string	Profile language.
service_category	string	Service category they offer.
maxItems	integer	Caps how many people are saved. 0 means no limit. Default 100.

{
  "title": "Head of Growth",
  "current_company": "Stripe",
  "geocode_location": "London",
  "maxItems": 100
}

Output

One row per person.

Field	What it holds
id	LinkedIn member ID
urn	Profile URN — the input for the posts and reactions Actors
public_identifier	Username, e.g. williamhgates
full_name	Their name
headline	Their headline
page	Which result page the row came from
data	Everything else on the search record

{
  "id": "251749025",
  "urn": "ACoAAA8BYqUBCGLg6-1234abcd",
  "public_identifier": "satyanadella",
  "full_name": "Satya Nadella",
  "headline": "Chairman and CEO at Microsoft",
  "page": 1
}

These are search-result rows — name, headline, identifiers. For experience, education, and the rest, take public_identifier into LinkedIn Profile Scraper.

Questions

company or current_company — what's the difference? current_company means they work there now. company matches the company anywhere on the profile, so it also returns people who used to work there. For prospecting into a live account use current_company; for finding alumni of a company use company.

Do I get email addresses? No. Public LinkedIn profiles don't publish them, and nothing here infers or looks them up elsewhere. Tools that promise LinkedIn emails are matching your results against a separate contact database — a different product from reading the page.

Is this a Sales Navigator replacement? It covers the filters most people actually use — title, company, location, industry, school — without a seat or a login. It does not reproduce Sales Navigator's account-based lead lists, saved-search alerts, or CRM sync. If you need the filters and the export, this does it; if you need the workflow, it doesn't.

Why did I get fewer people than maxItems? Either the filter combination is narrow, or LinkedIn stopped serving pages. Search results are a bounded set rather than every matching member, so a broad query won't return the millions of people who technically match.

Can I search with no filters at all? Every field is optional, but a search with nothing set has nothing to match on and won't return anything useful. Set at least one of name, title, current_company, or industry.

Do I need a LinkedIn account or cookie? No. Nothing logs in and no li_at is passed, so no account of yours is at risk.

What do I do with the urn? It's the key to that person's activity. Profile Posts and Profile Reactions both take it, and it can't be derived from a username — so keep it when you export.
