🔌 Integrations: n8n, Clay, Make, Zapier

Every integration uses the same call. One request starts a run, waits for it, and returns the results as a JSON array, one item per profile:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/vulnv~linkedin-email-finder/run-sync-get-dataset-items" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"urls": ["https://www.linkedin.com/in/williamhgates/"]}'

Get your token in Apify Console > Settings > API & Integrations.

n8n

Option 1: Apify node. Install the verified Apify node (search "Apify" in the nodes panel; on n8n Cloud the owner may need to enable verified community nodes). Use Run an Actor and get dataset, pick vulnv/linkedin-email-finder, and pass {"urls": [...]} as input.

Option 2: HTTP Request node (no install):

Setting	Value
Method	POST
URL	https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/vulnv~linkedin-email-finder/run-sync-get-dataset-items
Authentication	Generic > Header Auth, name Authorization, value Bearer YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN
Body	JSON: {{ JSON.stringify({ urls: $json.urls }) }}
Options > Timeout	300000

n8n splits the returned array into one item per profile, ready for an If node on found and then your CRM, Google Sheets or email tool. Feed it from Google Sheets or HubSpot by collecting the URL column into a urls array (a Code or Aggregate node), so one run handles the whole batch.

Clay

Add an HTTP API enrichment column:

Setting	Value
Method	POST
Endpoint	https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/vulnv~linkedin-email-finder/run-sync-get-dataset-items
Headers	Authorization: Bearer YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN, Content-Type: application/json
Body	{"urls": ["<insert your LinkedIn URL column>"]}

The response is a list with one item for the row. Map email, found, company and domain into columns. Each row is one run, and you are charged only when an email is found.

Make

Use the Apify app: add Run an Actor, choose vulnv/linkedin-email-finder, set Run synchronously to Yes and pass {"urls": [...]} as input. Then add Get Dataset Items with the run's default dataset ID. Alternatively, call the URL above with the HTTP > Make a request module. Make enforces a hard timeout on synchronous runs, so keep batches small.

Zapier

Use the Apify app: action Run Actor, choose vulnv/linkedin-email-finder, input {"urls": ["<LinkedIn URL field>"]}, and choose the synchronous run so the results are available to later steps (or fetch them with the Fetch dataset items search). Zapier stops synchronous runs after 30 seconds, so send one profile per Zap run.
