LinkedIn Profile Scraper API

The LinkedIn Profile endpoint is one API call: send a URL with your HProxy key and get back a clean, structured JSON object. Pull a public LinkedIn profile from its URL: headline, about, current and past roles, education, skills and location. HProxy runs the proxies, sessions, anti-bot handling and parsing server-side, so there is no headless browser to babysit and no parser to keep fixing when LinkedIn changes its markup. You only ever touch the JSON.

The call

One GET, and the profile comes back as JSON.

Your key goes in one header. 1 required parameter, and the answer is the object below it.

LinkedIn profile questions

Answered before you ask.

The reference

Send one authenticated HTTPS request to the LinkedIn Profile endpoint with a URL and your HProxy API key. Pull a public LinkedIn profile from its URL: headline, about, current and past roles, education, skills and location. No proxies, no headless browser and no parsing on your side. The response is ready-to-use JSON.

This endpoint is 0.15¢ per successful call, which is $1.49 per 1,000. It bills from your HProxy balance with no subscription and no monthly minimum. Errors are retried and never charged; a lookup whose target does not exist counts as a call.

The API only accesses publicly available LinkedIn data, the same pages anyone can open in a browser. You are responsible for using the data in line with applicable laws and LinkedIn's terms for your use case.

A structured JSON object with the full profile data LinkedIn exposes publicly. See the fields listed above. The schema is consistent across calls, so you integrate once and rely on it.

No. Every call runs on HProxy's own residential network behind the scenes, so requests look like real users. The proxy layer is already included in the per-call price.

Docs and AI

Connect your scraper to an AI, any time.

The whole Scraper API is published as markdown, so an assistant reads every endpoint, every parameter and a real response without a key and writes your integration. And because a scrape is one GET that answers in JSON, an agent can run the scraper itself, on its own schedule, with your key.

The API as markdown

Paste /llms/scraper-api.txt into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Copilot: every endpoint and the whole catalog, in one file. No key and no account to read it.

An agent can call it

One GET with your key returns structured JSON, so an agent scrapes on its own schedule. No browser to drive, no parser to keep alive between runs.
