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.

How does this automation work?

This workflow uses Apify to extract the data and a series of internal functions to clean, validate, and summarise the results. It ensures the profile URL is correct before processing and saves the full data for your records.

What are the primary use cases for this profile scraper?

You can use the scraper for lead enrichment, talent sourcing, and general profile research. It handles the manual work of visiting profiles and copying data, giving you structured information ready for your CRM or database.

Can I use this app as an API or part of another workflow?

Yes, you can trigger this app via an HTTP request or use it as an MCP tool within your agentic workflows. This allows you to integrate profile scraping into your existing software stack or custom AI assistants.
