Input
| Setting | Type | Required | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| profileUrls | array | No | – | LinkedIn profile URLs (https://linkedin.com/in/username) or bare usernames. Full URLs, usernames, 'in/username' shorthand and regional subdomains are all accepted. Optional when searchNames is provided. |
| searchNames | array | No | – | Optional search-by-name mode: full names (e.g. "Satya Nadella") to find on LinkedIn's public people directory. Every discovered profile is then scraped through the same pipeline and appears with its own searchQuery field. Combine with profileUrls or use alone. |
| searchCompany | string | No | – | Optional. When searching by name, keep only candidates whose directory card lists this company (case-insensitive substring). |
| searchLocation | string | No | – | Optional. When searching by name, keep only candidates whose directory card lists this location (case-insensitive substring). |
| maxSearchResults | integer | No | 25 | Upper bound on profiles discovered and scraped in search-by-name mode. |
| enrichCompany | boolean | No | true | Fetch the current employer's own public LinkedIn company page for extra detail (employee count, size, industry, website, headquarters, logo, specialties, founded year, followers, description). Uses a free public mirror, so it adds no proxy cost. Cached per company within a run. |
| includeStatusRows | boolean | No | true | Add one structured status row when a run returns no profiles or only some of the requested profiles. Turn off if you want the dataset to contain profile records only. |
| cookies | string | No | – | Optional and entirely unnecessary for the cookieless data. Supply your own LinkedIn session cookies (browser-export JSON, a JSON array of {name,value}, or a raw Cookie header) to additionally fill fields LinkedIn withholds from logged-out visitors — the real headline, exact connection count, and the |

} Run it from code or an AI agent
The same run through the Apify API, with the example input. You need an Apify API token; the run is billed to your account at the Store price.
Python
from apify_client import ApifyClient
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run_input = {
"profileUrls": [
"https://www.linkedin.com/in/williamhgates"
],
"maxSearchResults": 25,

if run is None:
raise RuntimeError("The Actor run was not found.")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
print(item) pip install apify-client
JavaScript
import { ApifyClient } from "apify-client";

} Adds this Actor as a tool in an MCP client that takes a remote server URL (Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code) through Apify's hosted MCP server. OAuth sign-in also works without the header. Clients that only start local servers can wrap the URL with npx mcp-remote.
What a run costs
The result rate falls on higher Apify plans. Each figure is the published per-result rate times the number of results.
| Apify plan | Per 1,000 | 10,000 results | 100,000 results |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free plan | $0.99 | $9.90 | $99 |
| Starter plan | $0.82 | $8.20 | $82 |
| Scale plan | $0.66 | $6.60 | $66 |
| Business plan | $0.49 | $4.90 | $49 |
- Every run also has a start event, charged per GB of memory (minimum one): $0.10 on Free, $0.03 on Business. At its default memory of 4 GB a run starts at $0.40 on Free. Fewer, larger runs keep this small.
- The Free plan includes $5 of monthly usage (Apify pricing, checked 2026-11-11); at the Free rate that covers at most about 5,050 results, less start events and platform usage.
- Worked example: 10,000 results in one run on the Free plan cost $10.30 ($9.90 for results + $0.40 start), plus Apify platform usage (compute), billed separately by Apify.
- Pay per event. Platform usage (compute) is billed by Apify on top of the event prices. Compare other tools in the cost estimator.

Stops are fields. A ring means the field is in that route's published output schema; no ring means the line passes without it. Bold labels are the core fields for this website, the rest are fields that differ between routes. A white capsule means every data line stops there. The red line is the official API; its field coverage is not compared. A crossed red line means there is no open official API.
