## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

> Extract LinkedIn company employees with titles, profiles, and contact signals.

### Why This Actor Is Better

This actor is engineered to outperform competitors on reliability, data completeness, output quality, and transparent pricing.

| Competitor issue | This actor advantage |
|---|---|
| Single data source | Multi-source extraction + enrichment fallback |
| No confidence scoring | 0-1 confidence score on every result |
| No source attribution | Full source tracking per dataset row |
| Slow / blocking | Automatic retries, proxy rotation, cache-first mode |
| Missing enrichment | Built-in contact, tech-stack, and sentiment enrichment |
| Requires paid APIs | No external API keys required for core extraction |

#### Key Features

- Employee lists by company identifier
- Job title, location, and profile URL
- Contact signal detection (emails/phones where public)
- Pagination and large-list handling
- Structured JSON/CSV output

### Architecture

````

1. **Input ingestion** — Accept URLs, queries, or batch lists via the Apify Console.
2. **Resilient extraction** — Playwright or HTTP-based scraping with retries and proxy rotation.
3. **Parsing & normalization** — Transform raw platform data into consistent JSON.
4. **Enrichment** — Append contact signals, tech stacks, sentiment, or cross-platform data where available.
5. **Confidence scoring** — Each record receives a 0-1 reliability score.
6. **Dataset output** — Results are pushed to the Apify dataset with source attribution.

### Input

| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `mode` | string | — | enrich | fast\_lookup: cache-first. enrich: multi-provider enrichme... |
| `queries` | array | ✅ | ... | Search queries, profile URLs, or usernames |
| `maxResults` | integer | — | 25 | Maximum results per query (1-1000) |
| `webhookUrl` | string | — |  | Optional webhook URL for completion notification |

### Output

Results are stored in the Apify dataset as structured JSON objects. See `.actor/output_schema.json` for the full schema.

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `company` | string | Company or organization name |
| `companyUrl` | string | companyUrl value |
| `name` | string | Name or title of the scraped entity |
| `jobTitle` | string | Job title or role |
| `location` | string | Location, city, or address |
| `profileUrl` | string | Direct link to the profile or post |
| `connectionDegree` | string | connectionDegree value |
| `emails` | array | Extracted email addresses |
| `phones` | array | Extracted phone numbers |
| `confidenceScore` | number | 0-1 confidence score for the result |
| `scrapedAt` | string | ISO timestamp when the row was scraped |

### Pricing

This actor uses transparent pay-per-event (PPE) pricing. You only pay for successful results.

| Plan | Price per 1K results | Savings |
|---|---|---|
| Leading competitors | ~$6.75/1K | — |
| **This actor** | **$5.00/1K** | **26% cheaper** |

*A small one-time Actor Start fee applies per run. No monthly subscription required.*

### Use Cases

- **ABM targeting** — build account-specific contact lists
- **Sales intelligence** — map decision-makers by department
- **Recruiting** — source candidates at target companies
- **Competitive intelligence** — analyze hiring distribution
- **CRM enrichment** — append employee contacts to accounts

### Legal & Compliance

This actor scrapes publicly available data from LinkedIn. It does not access private data, bypass authentication, or store credentials. Users are responsible for complying with applicable data protection laws (GDPR, CCPA, etc.) and the platform's Terms of Service.

This actor is intended for legitimate research, analysis, and lead-generation use cases. It must not be used for spam, harassment, or unlawful activity.

### AI-DLC / Data Lifecycle

This actor follows AI-DLC principles for ethical data handling:

- **Collection** — Public data only; respects robots.txt and rate limits.
- **Processing** — In-memory normalization; no PII logging.
- **Storage** — Results are pushed to the user's Apify dataset, not retained by the actor.
- **Usage** — Designed for analysis, enrichment, and legitimate outreach.
- **Disposal** — No long-term caching of user data between runs.

### Enhancement Roadmap (API / MCP Integrations)

- Add Apollo.io contact-enrichment MCP for emails/phones
- Integrate org-chart MCP to infer reporting lines
- Add email-verification MCP (ZeroBounce) for deliverability

### Changelog

- **v1.0** — Initial release with core scraping, structured output, confidence scoring, and pay-per-event pricing.
- **v1.1** — Premium README, full output schema, and AI-DLC documentation added.
