LinkedIn Profiles
Full profile details from LinkedIn URLs
What LinkedIn Profiles is for
LinkedIn holds the most accurate professional data on the web, because the people in it maintain their own records. Nobody updates a contact database when they get promoted; almost everybody updates LinkedIn.
LinkedIn Profiles is the enrichment step for that data. You supply profile URLs and get back the full record: current role, company, tenure, location, summary, and work history.
It is a filling-in tool rather than a discovery tool. The URLs come from somewhere else — an event attendee list, a set of post commenters, a partial CRM export — and this turns a list of links into a list of people you know something about.
How it works
Supply a list of profile URLs. There is no search step: this source answers 'who are these people' rather than 'find me people like this'.
Each profile is visited and its published fields are collected. Because it reads the live profile rather than a cached record, a job change that happened last week is already reflected.
Results come back as one row per profile with consistent field names, so a mixed-quality input list becomes something you can sort, filter, and score.
The natural next step is AI Lead Scoring, which ranks each enriched profile against your ideal customer profile so a list of 200 becomes a prioritised 40.
What each result contains
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| fullName | string | Name as published on the profile. |
| headline | string | The self-written tagline — often more informative about positioning than the formal title. |
| currentTitle | string | Current job title. |
| currentCompany | string | Current employer. |
| location | string | Stated location, for territory or timezone routing. |
| summary | string | null | Profile About section, where present — useful raw material for personalisation. |
| experience[] | object[] | Work history with titles, companies, and dates. |
| education[] | object[] | Education history. |
| profileUrl | url | Canonical profile URL, the key for deduping against your CRM. |

Example use case
When to choose this source
Use this when you already have profile URLs and need the detail behind them. To find people by role and firmographics instead, start with Leads Finder. To get a phone number for a profile you already have, add LinkedIn Phones.
Limitations worth knowing
This source enriches, it does not discover. Without a list of URLs there is nothing for it to do.
Only publicly visible profile fields are returned. Anything a person has restricted is not accessible and is not collected.
At thirty credits per result it is one of the more expensive sources, because each result requires visiting and parsing a full profile page. Enrich a filtered shortlist rather than an entire raw list.
Profiles reflect what people choose to publish. Titles are frequently aspirational or idiosyncratic, so pair the title with company size before drawing conclusions about seniority.

Frequently asked questions
- Where do I get the profile URLs?
- Commonly from LinkedIn Comments (everyone who engaged with a post), an event list, a partner-supplied list, or an existing CRM export with gaps. This source is the second step in each of those workflows.
- Is this compliant?
- It collects publicly visible profile information — what any logged-out visitor can see. It does not access private profiles or restricted fields. How you use the data afterwards is governed by the privacy law applicable to you and your contacts.
- Why thirty credits per result?
- Each result means visiting and parsing a complete profile page, which is far more work than a database lookup. It is priced accordingly, which is also why enriching a shortlist beats enriching everything.
- How current is the data?
- It reads the live profile, so a role change is reflected as soon as the person updates it. That is the main advantage over any static contact database.
- Can I get email addresses?
- Not from this source — profiles rarely publish them. Use Leads Finder for verified work emails, or LinkedIn Phones to add a direct-dial channel to profiles you already have.
