LinkedIn Scraper — Public Profiles, Posts, Jobs & Companies 🚀

Extract high-quality LinkedIn data without needing a LinkedIn account. This scraper bypasses strict login walls by leveraging public Google indexes and residential proxies to deliver clean, structured data at lightning speed.

🌟 Why use this scraper?

Unlike other LinkedIn scrapers that require you to risk your personal LinkedIn accounts or burn through expensive cookies, this Actor relies entirely on public-facing data.

• Zero Risk: No LinkedIn login required. You will never get your account banned.
• Cost-Effective: Highly optimized architecture fetches data in batches. Pay only for what you extract.
• Lightning Fast: Concurrent asynchronous requests allow for extracting thousands of records in minutes.
• Clean Data: Returns beautifully structured JSONs directly from hidden JSON-LD schemas, ensuring accurate metadata, full post texts, and precise engagement metrics.

🎯 What can you extract?

This all-in-one tool supports multiple target types:

1. Profiles (profile): Extract user biographies, work experiences, education, and skills.
2. Companies (company): Extract company descriptions, employee counts, and follower metrics.
3. Jobs (search_jobs): Quickly pull lists of available job postings for specific roles, including title, company name, location, and the direct application link.
4. People Search (search_people): Discover professionals by keyword or industry without spending hours clicking through pages.

💡 Use Cases

⚠️ Important Notes

• Proxies are essential: LinkedIn heavily restricts requests from datacenter IPs. Please ensure you enable Apify Residential Proxies in your configuration for reliable results.
• Public Data Only: This scraper cannot access private profiles, connections, or data hidden behind strict privacy settings. If a user hides their posts from search engines, they cannot be scraped.
