Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## LinkedIn Profile Scraper - Public Profile Extractor, No Login Extract structured public LinkedIn profile data from profile URLs or usernames. This actor is built for users who need clean JSON/CSV profile data without LinkedIn cookies, browser sessions, or account login. Use it for recruiting research, lead generation, CRM enrichment, market research, founder research, candidate shortlisting, and workflow automation where you already have LinkedIn profile URLs or public identifiers. ### Why Use This Actor - No LinkedIn login, cookies, or account setup required - Works with LinkedIn profile URLs and public identifiers - Returns one structured dataset row per profile - Extracts basic profile data, work experience, education, skills, certifications, languages, and company details when available - Includes `basic_info.email` when a public email is returned from visible profile/contact data - Supports bulk profile extraction through the `profiles` input - Output is ready for Apify Dataset export, API integrations, CRMs, ATS tools, spreadsheets, and automation platforms ### What You Can Extract - Full name, first name, last name - Headline and about section - Public identifier and profile URL - Profile picture and background image URLs - Location, country, city, and country code when available - Follower count and connection count when available - Current company, company URL, company logo, and company ID when available - Work experience with title, company, duration, location, description, employment type, and skills - Education, certifications, and languages when available - Top skills when returned by public profile data - Verification, premium, creator, open-to-work, and related public profile flags when available - Public email when available in returned contact/profile data ### Email Behavior `includeEmail` is enabled by default. The actor will include an email in `basic_info.email` only when an email is returned from visible LinkedIn profile/contact data. This actor does not run independent email discovery, does not perform SMTP validation, and does not guess emails from names or company domains. If no public email is returned, `basic_info.email` will be `null`. This keeps the actor focused on low-cost public LinkedIn profile extraction instead of paid contact enrichment. ### Input Provide one or more LinkedIn profile URLs or public identifiers: ```json { "profiles": [ "https://www.linkedin.com/in/whoareyouanas/", "neal-mohan" ], "includeEmail": true, "maxConcurrency": 5, "requestTimeoutSecs": 20 } ```` The legacy single-profile input is also supported: ```json { "username": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/whoareyouanas/", "includeEmail": true } ``` #### Input Fields | Field | Type | Default | Description | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `profiles` | array | - | LinkedIn profile URLs or public identifiers. | | `username` | string | - | Legacy single-profile input. Used when `profiles` is empty. | | `includeEmail` | boolean | `true` | Include public email when returned by visible contact/profile data. | | `maxConcurrency` | integer | `5` | Maximum number of profiles processed in parallel. | | `requestTimeoutSecs` | integer | `20` | Timeout for each profile HTTP request. | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | - | Optional Apify proxy configuration. Residential proxies can improve public LinkedIn access. | ### Output Each profile produces one dataset row: ```json { "input": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/whoareyouanas/", "basic_info": { "fullname": "Anas Nadeem", "first_name": "Anas", "last_name": "Nadeem", "headline": "Founder @Fleetzz", "public_identifier": "whoareyouanas", "profile_url": "https://linkedin.com/in/whoareyouanas", "profile_picture_url": "https://media.licdn.com/...", "about": "I build products...", "location": { "country": "India", "city": "Greater Bengaluru Area", "full": "Greater Bengaluru Area", "postal_code": "", "country_code": "IN" }, "follower_count": 590, "connection_count": 520, "current_company": "Fleetzz.io", "current_company_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/fleetzz-io", "top_skills": ["Full-Stack Development", "Entrepreneurship"], "email": null }, "experience": [ { "title": "Founder", "company": "Fleetzz.io", "location": "India", "description": "Building India's end-to-end fleet management platform.", "duration": "Feb 2025 - Present", "is_current": true, "company_linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/107573658/", "employment_type": "Full-time", "location_type": "Remote", "skills": ["Node.js", "TypeScript"], "company_id": "107573658" } ], "education": [], "certifications": [], "languages": [], "status": "success", "error": null, "scraped_at": "2026-06-15T02:39:05.902Z" } ``` ### Common Use Cases - Build recruiting and candidate research lists from known LinkedIn profile URLs - Enrich CRM records with current role, company, headline, and public profile details - Collect founder, creator, or professional profile data for market research - Convert LinkedIn profile URLs into structured JSON for internal tools - Feed public professional profile data into Apify integrations, webhooks, Make, Zapier, n8n, or custom APIs ### Notes and Limits - This actor extracts publicly visible LinkedIn profile data only. - It does not use LinkedIn account cookies, login sessions, or Sales Navigator. - It is not a LinkedIn profile search actor. Provide profile URLs or public identifiers as input. - LinkedIn may return authwall, login, or anti-bot responses to some IPs. Residential proxies can improve reliability. - Some fields may be empty or `null` when LinkedIn does not return that data publicly. - Email is not guaranteed. `basic_info.email` is `null` unless public contact/profile data returns an email. ### SEO Keywords LinkedIn profile scraper, LinkedIn profile extractor, LinkedIn scraper no login, LinkedIn scraper no cookies, public LinkedIn profile scraper, LinkedIn data extractor, LinkedIn profile API, LinkedIn lead generation scraper, LinkedIn recruiting scraper, LinkedIn profile data to JSON, LinkedIn public profile extractor. ### Disclaimer This Actor is an independent tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by LinkedIn Corporation.
