Migrate from ScrapIn.io or Proxycurl in 60 Seconds

Replace ScrapIn.io (`/v1/enrichment/profile`) or legacy Proxycurl (`/api/v2/linkedin`) with one synchronous GET or POST request—no cookies, no async webhook polling:

import requests

# ScrapIn.io requiresapikey in query/header + $30 trial or $500 PAYG pack
res = requests.get(
    "https://api.scrapin.io/enrichment/profile",
    params={
        "apikey": "scrapin_key_...",
        "linkedInUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/satyanadella",
    },
    timeout=30,
)
person = res.json().get("person", {})

import requests

res = requests.get(
    "https://api.linkedindataapi.com/v1/profile",
    params={"url": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/satyanadella"},
    headers={"X-API-Key": "b2b_live_your_api_key"},
    timeout=20,
)
payload = res.json()
profile = payload["data"]
print(profile["full_name"], "->", profile["current_title"], "@", profile["current_company"])

Frequently asked questions

How does LinkedInDataAPI pricing compare to ScrapIn.io and People Data Labs?

ScrapIn.io charges $30 for a 7-day trial and $500+ for Pay-As-You-Go packs (or $299–$999/mo tiers, roughly $9.99–$15.00 per 1,000 profiles), while People Data Labs starts at $98/month ($100–$280 per 1,000 person matches). LinkedInDataAPI grants 12,000 free credits ($1.20) immediately with no card, starts at $19/mo or $25 never-expiring PAYG, and enriches full profiles or companies for $0.40–$1.00 per 1,000 calls.

Does LinkedInDataAPI require my personal LinkedIn `li_at` session cookie in n8n, Make, or Clay?

Never. LinkedInDataAPI is 100% No-Cookie and proxy-free on the client side. You never connect a personal LinkedIn account or browser extension, eliminating any risk of LinkedIn account restrictions or bans when running automated n8n, Make, or Clay workflows.

Can I migrate existing Proxycurl (`/api/v2/linkedin`) or ScrapIn LinkedIn URL inputs without regex cleanup?

Yes. Both `/v1/profile` and `/api/v2/linkedin` accept full LinkedIn URLs (`?url=https://www.linkedin.com/in/satyanadella/?trk=...`), raw handles (`?username=satyanadella`), corporate domains (`?domain=stripe.com`), and even `?json={...}` wrappers—automatically extracting clean slugs server-side.

How do I connect LinkedInDataAPI to Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor via MCP?

Point your MCP client directly to `https://mcp.linkedindataapi.com/v1/mcp` for 1-click OAuth 2.1 sign-in (works in Claude.ai Web/Desktop, ChatGPT Connectors, Cursor, and Windsurf with zero local Node.js setup), or use `https://api.linkedindataapi.com/mcp` with an `X-API-Key` header.

What payment methods are supported and do PAYG credits expire?

Pay-As-You-Go credits never expire, and 404 Not Found or empty search responses cost 0 credits. Checkout supports Stripe (Credit/Debit Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay) and 0%-fee Cryptocurrency (USDT, USDC, BTC, ETH, SOL across 180+ coins with +5% bonus credits).
