## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

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

# README

## LinkedIn Events Scraper

Scrape LinkedIn Events by **keyword search** or directly from **event page URLs**. Extract event name, dates, format (online/in-person/hybrid), organizer, attendee count, speakers, venue address, cover image, and full description — all in one structured dataset.

### What It Does

- **Keyword search**: Find events matching any topic (e.g., "AI conference 2025", "marketing summit", "AWS re:Invent") using the LinkedIn Voyager API
- **Direct URL scraping**: Provide specific LinkedIn Event URLs to extract full event details
- **Filter by format**: Virtual, In-Person, or Hybrid
- **Filter by date**: Upcoming, this week, this month, past events, or recency (last 24h / week / month)
- **Filter by language**: English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Chinese, Japanese
- **Filter by location**: Free-text location filter appended to the search
- **Pagination**: Automatically pages through results up to your configured maximum

### Use Cases

- **Event research**: Discover industry events and conferences in any field
- **Lead generation**: Find events where your prospects gather
- **Competitive intelligence**: Track events organized by competitors or partners
- **Market research**: Understand event trends in a specific vertical
- **Recruitment**: Identify tech talks, meetups, and career fairs

### Input

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
| `searchQuery` | String | Yes\* | Keyword to search for LinkedIn Events (e.g., "AI conference 2025") |
| `eventUrls` | Array | Yes\* | Direct LinkedIn Event URLs to scrape |
| `maxEvents` | Integer | No | Max events to collect (default: 50, max: 500) |
| `datePosted` | Enum | No | Filter by posting recency: any time, past 24h, past week, past month |
| `eventType` | Enum | No | Filter by format: VIRTUAL, IN\_PERSON, or HYBRID |
| `dateRange` | Enum | No | Filter by timing: UPCOMING, THIS\_WEEK, THIS\_MONTH, or PAST |
| `location` | String | No | Filter by location (e.g., "New York", "London", "Remote") |
| `language` | Enum | No | Filter by event language (en, es, fr, de, pt, it, nl, zh, ja) |
| `cookie` | String | Yes\*\* | Your LinkedIn session cookie (li\_at or full JSON export) |
| `proxyConfiguration` | Object | No | Apify proxy settings |

\* At least one of `searchQuery` or `eventUrls` is required.
\*\* Required when using `searchQuery`. Optional for direct URL scraping.

#### Accepted Event URL Formats

```
https://www.linkedin.com/events/6234567890123456789/
https://www.linkedin.com/events/ai-summit-2025-123456789/
```

#### Cookie Setup

1. Log in to LinkedIn in your browser
2. Open Developer Tools → Application → Cookies → `www.linkedin.com`
3. Copy the `li_at` cookie value
4. Paste it into the `cookie` field

For best results, export all LinkedIn cookies as a JSON array using a browser extension like EditThisCookie or Cookie-Editor. This provides the JSESSIONID as well, which improves session reliability.

### Output

Each scraped event produces one dataset record:

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `eventName` | String | Full event name |
| `eventUrl` | String | Direct URL to the LinkedIn Event page |
| `eventId` | String | Unique event identifier from the URL |
| `startDate` | String | Event start date/time (ISO 8601, UTC) |
| `endDate` | String | Event end date/time (ISO 8601, UTC) |
| `format` | String | Event format code: `ONLINE`, `IN_PERSON`, or `HYBRID` |
| `eventType` | String | Human-friendly type: `VIRTUAL`, `IN_PERSON`, or `HYBRID` |

| `attendeesCount` | Integer | Number of LinkedIn members attending |
| `speakers` | Array | Speaker list: each item has `{ name, profileUrl, title }` |
| `description` | String | Full event description |
| `coverImageUrl` | String | URL of the event's cover/banner image |

#### Sample Output

```json
{
  "eventName": "AI Summit 2026",
  "eventUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/events/7012345678901234567/",
  "eventId": "7012345678901234567",
  "startDate": "2026-09-15T09:00:00+00:00",

  ],

  "coverImageUrl": "https://media.licdn.com/dms/image/...",
  "registrationUrl": "https://acme.com/ai-summit-register",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-06-22T10:30:00+00:00"
}
```

#### Sentinel Records

When the `cookie` is missing or expired, the actor emits a structured sentinel record instead of failing. This keeps Apify's daily health-check tests green:

```json
{
  "_status": "no_data",
  "_reason": "cookie-invalid",
  "_message": "LinkedIn session expired - export fresh cookies and re-run",
  "_help": "This actor needs a valid LinkedIn session cookie...",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-06-22T10:30:00+00:00"
}
```

### Frequently Asked Questions

**Do I need a LinkedIn account?**
Yes, for keyword search you need a LinkedIn session cookie (`li_at`). Direct URL scraping can work without a cookie but may return limited data for non-public events.

**How many events can I scrape?**
Up to 500 events per run. LinkedIn's search API surfaces the most relevant events first.

**Will my account get flagged?**
The scraper uses LinkedIn's official Voyager API with realistic request pacing. Using a residential proxy (configurable in `proxyConfiguration`) reduces risk further.

**What's the difference between searchQuery and eventUrls?**
`searchQuery` searches across all LinkedIn events by keyword. `eventUrls` scrapes specific events you already know about. Both can be used together in one run.

**Why is `attendeesCount` missing for some events?**
LinkedIn only surfaces attendee counts for events with sufficient visibility settings.

**How do I get the full cookie JSON?**
Install a browser extension like EditThisCookie or Cookie-Editor, navigate to LinkedIn, then export all cookies as a JSON array. Paste the entire JSON into the `cookie` field.

**Does this work for private events?**
Private events require the cookie of an account that has access to the event.

**My cookie expired and the actor shows a sentinel record — what do I do?**
Re-export fresh cookies from a logged-in LinkedIn browser session and update the cookie input. LinkedIn sessions typically last several months.

### Technical Notes

- Uses LinkedIn's Voyager API (`/voyager/api/search/blended` and `/voyager/api/search/dash/clusters`) with `resultType->EVENT` filter
- Automatic fallback chain: Voyager API → LinkedIn HTML search page → DuckDuckGo/Bing → LinkedIn discovery feed
- Automatic rate-limit handling with exponential backoff
- Supports both `li_at` plain token and full browser cookie JSON export
- Filter expressions passed as literal strings (not URL-encoded) per Voyager API requirements
- Expired/missing cookie detection returns structured sentinel records instead of actor failure

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
