Input
| Setting | Type | Required | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| mode | string | No | schoolInsights | What to return: public school-level alumni insights, or individual public alumni profiles found by search. |
| schoolUrls | array | No | – | LinkedIn school page URLs or bare slugs, e.g. https://www.linkedin.com/school/mit/ or mit. |
| schoolNames | array | No | – | Plain university names when you do not have the LinkedIn URL, e.g. MIT or Harvard University. Names are resolved automatically. |
| maxSchools | integer | No | 10 | Maximum number of schools to process in one run. |
| maxAlumniPerSchool | integer | No | 50 | Maximum verified public profiles to return per school (mode=alumniProfiles). Values above 200 are clamped to 200 to keep runs bounded. |

} 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 = {
"mode": "schoolInsights",
"schoolUrls": [
"https://www.linkedin.com/school/mit/"

"includeSchoolProfile": False
}
run = client.actor("dataspryva/linkedin-university-alumni-search-by-degree").call(run_input=run_input)
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";
const client = new ApifyClient({ token: "<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>" });
const input = {
"mode": "schoolInsights",
"schoolUrls": [

"includeSchoolProfile": false
};
const run = await client.actor("dataspryva/linkedin-university-alumni-search-by-degree").call(input);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items); npm install apify-client

"mcpServers": {
"apify": {
"url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=dataspryva/linkedin-university-alumni-search-by-degree",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer <YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>"
}
}
}
} 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.
