LinkedIn Profile Scraper
Scrape one public LinkedIn profile, then get a clean Breyta report you can read in the UI or call from HTTP and MCP.
Who this is for
This app is for recruiters, operators, sales teams, and researchers who need a fast structured readout of one public LinkedIn profile.
What happens after install
After install, you can run the scraper from:
- the Breyta run form
- the HTTP endpoint
- the MCP tool
Each run fetches one public LinkedIn profile and returns:
- a readable markdown summary
- a downloadable JSON file with the raw profile record
What you need to enter
- LinkedIn profile URL: a public profile URL such as
https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewyng
No extra buyer API setup is required for the base experience on this app.
What you get back
Breyta returns a compact profile snapshot when available, including:
- full name
- headline
- location
- follower count
- connection count
- current companies
- current roles
- about section
Good uses
- lead enrichment
- founder and executive research
- recruiting screens
- expert sourcing
Limits and expectations
- Results depend on what is publicly visible on the profile and what the upstream actor can access at run time.
- Some public profiles expose much more detail than others.
- This app is optimized for one public profile URL per run.
Failure cases
You may see incomplete or failed runs if:
- the profile URL is invalid
- the profile is unavailable
- LinkedIn limits public profile access during a run
- an upstream network issue interrupts the scrape
When that happens, retry with the canonical public profile URL first.
FAQ
What does the LinkedIn Profile Scraper do?
It extracts data from a public LinkedIn profile and provides you with a structured report and raw JSON data. You can use it for lead enrichment, talent sourcing, and general profile research.
How does the profile scraping workflow work?
The app uses Apify to scrape publicly available information from a specific profile URL. Once the process finishes, you can access the results through the web interface, an HTTP API, or as a Model Context Protocol tool.
What do I need to set up the LinkedIn Profile Scraper?
You will need an active LinkedIn URL for the person you want to research. Since this is an installable, paid app, you should also ensure your account has the necessary credits to run the extraction.
Can I use this app with other tools or agents?
Yes, you can integrate this tool into your own workflows using the HTTP API or the Model Context Protocol (MCP) interface. This allows your own agents and applications to request profile data automatically.
