About Linkedin people search scraper
Need to pull targeted prospect lists from LinkedIn search? This actor takes the exact search results page you see in your browser and extracts all the profile data for you. Here’s how it works: you run a people search on LinkedIn yourself—using their filters for location, industry, job title, and so on. Once you have the perfect results page, you just copy the full URL from your address bar and feed it to this scraper. It then visits that page, handles the scrolling, and collects the details from every profile card in the search results. You’ll get a clean dataset with names, job titles, companies, locations, and profile links. It’s perfect for building sales lead lists, recruiting candidate pools, or market research—without having to manually click through hundreds of profiles. I use it to quickly gather contacts for outreach campaigns or to analyze employment trends in specific sectors. Just remember, you need to provide a valid LinkedIn search URL to start the scrape. It’s a straightforward way to turn LinkedIn’s powerful search into structured, usable data.
