How to scrape a LinkedIn profile from its public URL.
The free LinkedIn profile scraper is designed for a quick inspection of one known person profile. It does not search for people, discover email addresses, or collect company pages.
- 01
Paste one LinkedIn profile
Use a complete public LinkedIn /in/ URL or enter the slug shown after /in/. Company pages, posts, jobs, and search result URLs are not accepted by this tool.
- 02
Complete the security check
The browser runs a private Cloudflare Turnstile check before the request reaches the scraper. The free tool accepts one active request per browser session.
- 03
Collect the public record
Curly opens the public profile without a LinkedIn account and normalizes the data that is available in the public response. Collection usually finishes in less than a minute.
- 04
Review and export
Inspect the main fields in a table, switch to the complete JSON response, copy it, or download the record as JSON or CSV.
Public profile field coverage.
A successful result can contain identity, headline, location, current company, experience, education, network counts, about text, and source identifiers. The exact fields depend on what LinkedIn makes available publicly for that profile.
Masked or unavailable fields stay empty. The scraper does not use LinkedIn accounts, cookies, or authentication to reveal additional information.
Free profile scraper versus the Apify Actor.
Use the free tool for an occasional profile check in the browser. Move to Apify when a workflow needs several profiles, recurring runs, API access, datasets, schedules, webhooks, or integrations.
