LinkedIn (public search)

​

Endpoints

​

Search LinkedIn for people profiles by keyword, job title, company, location, school, industry, seniority, or function. Returns a list of profiles with work experience, education, skills, certifications, and location. No LinkedIn cookies or account required. Pricing is pay-per-event: profileScraperMode: "Short" costs $0.10/page (snippet only); `"Full"` costs$0.10/page + $0.004/profile; `"Full + email search"` (default in example) costs$0.10/page + $0.01/profile. A page returns up to 25 profiles. Keep maxItems or takePages small to stay inside the gateway sync timeout.

​

Search LinkedIn job postings by keyword, location, date posted, experience level, or company. Pass one or more LinkedIn jobs search URLs (copy from the address bar after filtering on linkedin.com/jobs); set count to cap results (min 10). By default Lava returns ~5KB/job with title, companyName, location, salaryInfo, postedAt, seniorityLevel, employmentType, jobFunction, industries, applicantsCount, jobPosterName/Title, descriptionText; descriptionHtml (a byte-for-byte duplicate of descriptionText with HTML markup) and companyLogo are stripped. Pass filter.mode="full" to receive the raw ~9KB/job payload. No LinkedIn cookies or account required. $1.00 per 1,000 results, flat$0.025/request through Lava. CRITICAL TIMEOUT NOTE: the actor takes ~2.5s per job and the Lava gateway has a 30s edge-function ceiling. Keep count: 10 (the actor minimum) to stay inside the timeout; count: 25 consistently 504s. scrapeCompany: true roughly triples per-job latency and pushes even a minimum-count call past the gateway timeout, leave it false on this sync endpoint (do not try to fetch companyDescription/Website/EmployeesCount through this path). For larger pulls split into multiple smaller calls or use splitByLocation: true + splitCountry.
