## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## 📧 Personal Email Finder

Find verified personal email addresses from any LinkedIn profile — fast, accurate, and fully automated.

This tool extracts personal emails from LinkedIn profile URLs. Simply provide a list of LinkedIn profile links and get enriched results including names and all discovered personal emails.

### ✨ What It Does

This actor finds personal email addresses for LinkedIn profiles. It:

- ✅ Accepts multiple LinkedIn profile URLs as input
- 🔍 Searches for personal email addresses associated with those profiles
- 📨 Returns personal emails along with profile information (first name, last name)
- 💰 Charges based on the number of profiles with personal emails found

### 📥 Input

The actor requires a single input parameter:

- **linkedin_url** (array, required): An array of LinkedIn profile URLs you want to find personal emails for.

#### Example Input

```json
{
  "linkedin_url": [
    "https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-doe/",
    "http://www.linkedin.com/in/jane-smith"
  ]
}
```

#### Supported URL Formats

The actor accepts LinkedIn URLs in various formats:

- `https://www.linkedin.com/in/username`
- `http://www.linkedin.com/in/username`
- `https://linkedin.com/in/username`
- URLs with or without trailing slashes

### 📤 Output

The actor returns an array of results, one for each input LinkedIn URL. Each result contains:

- **linkedin_url** (string): The original LinkedIn URL you provided
- **first_name** (string | null): First name of the person (in title case)
- **last_name** (string | null): Last name of the person (in title case)
- **first_personal_email** (string | null): The first personal email found, or null if none
- **personal_emails** (array): Array of all personal emails found (empty array if none)

#### Example Output

```json
[
  {
    "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-doe/",
    "first_name": "John",
    "last_name": "Doe",
    "first_personal_email": "john.doe@gmail.com",
    "personal_emails": ["john.doe@gmail.com", "johndoe@yahoo.com"]
  },
  {
    "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/jane-smith",
    "first_name": null,
    "last_name": null,
    "first_personal_email": null,
    "personal_emails": []
  }
]
```

### 💰 Pricing

The actor charges based on the number of LinkedIn profiles for which personal emails are found:

- 💳 You are charged **once per profile** that has at least one personal email
- 📊 If a profile has multiple personal emails, you are still charged only once for that profile
- ✅ Profiles without personal emails are not charged

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{

    "www.linkedin.com/in/williamhgates"

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,code_crafter/personal-email-finder"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
