Saved 24 of 25 profile(s); the rest could not be retrieved from LinkedIn.`\r\n\r\nAt the end, profiles that could not be retrieved are grouped by reason.\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\n## Recent posts (optional)\n\nTurn on **Include recent posts** to add the person's own recent posts to each profile, in `recentPosts`: full text, exact publish date, reactions, comment count, images, videos and documents. Turn on **Include top comments on posts** to add the top public comments of each post at no extra cost.\n\n- Charged per post delivered (see the Pricing tab). Off by default, so existing runs cost exactly the same.\n- A public profile shows about 10 recent posts, so you get up to 10 per person, and some people have fewer or none.\n- Posts that cannot be loaded are skipped and not charged. The profile itself is always saved.\n\n---\n\n## Free plan\r\n\r\nOn the Apify free plan each run scrapes the first **2** profiles of your list (and up to 3 recent posts each when enabled), with every section included, so you can check the output before upgrading. The run log says how many were skipped. Paid plans have no per-run cap.\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\n## FAQ\r\n\r\n**Do I need a LinkedIn account or cookies?**\r\nNo. The Actor never signs in and never asks for your credentials.\r\n\r\n**Why is the About text short?**\r\nLinkedIn shows logged-out visitors only the start of the About section. No logged-out method gets the full text.\r\n\r\n**Am I charged for profiles that fail?**\r\nNo. A profile that cannot be retrieved (deleted, hidden or temporarily blocked) is reported in the run log and not saved, so it is not billed.\r\n\r\n**How fast is it?**\r\nUsually a few seconds per profile, with several profiles running at once. Rows appear in the dataset as each profile finishes.\r\n\r\n**Can it scrape company pages, jobs or posts?**\r\nThis Actor is for person profiles (`linkedin.com/in/...`), including each person's recent posts when **Include recent posts** is on. Use a dedicated company or jobs scraper for those pages.\r\n\r\n**How do I match results to my input?**\r\nUse `publicIdentifier` (the username). Profiles missing from the dataset are named in the run log with the reason.\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\n## Compliance\r\n\r\nUse collected data in line with applicable data protection laws and [LinkedIn's User Agreement](https://www.linkedin.com/legal/user-agreement).
