· THREE REAL RESPONSES, PULLED LIVE 2026-09-11 ·
The problem

Profile data ages the day you buy it

People move jobs every month. A stored copy does not. The market’s biggest LinkedIn API was sued and shut down for using fake accounts, and every database built on it is drifting.

93%
of disputed rows went our way when an enrichment platform benchmarked us on their own database
Gone
the market’s biggest LinkedIn API, sued and shut down
What that costs youBounces. Dead dials. First lines that name the wrong company.
The fix

A live read of the profile does not

CrustAPI reads the public profile when you ask. Get the name, headline, employer and other available public details as structured fields. No LinkedIn login or cookies needed. Hidden details stay empty rather than being guessed.

Read from the public page when you ask Numeric ids you can join on Unavailable profiles are free No login, so nothing to ban

You get profiles that are right. Cheaper. Fresher. Easier.

Live read : noun

We read the page the moment you ask. Not a copy from last month.

Need millions of profiles, not one?

The LinkedIn people dataset. Filter, count, pay by card.

Every public profile in the index, filtered by title, company, location and more. See the exact count and the price before you buy.

FAQ

Common questions

One request that returns a public LinkedIn profile as data: name, headline, current company with its numeric id, experience, education, skills and the permanent member id. You send the address. The profile comes back in seconds, read live, with no login.

No. Nothing of yours is in the loop. We read the public page anyone sees, so there is nothing to restrict or ban.

Unavailable profiles cost nothing. We report public readability and URL status, including restricted or not_resolvable where supported. A URL that does not resolve does not prove deletion; hibernation and visibility settings can look similar.

Our September 10 test of 10 public profiles had a median response time of 935 ms. Response times vary by profile and load. You pay for successful results, not a promised response time.

$6.00 for every 1,000 profiles, with lower rates for larger individual deposits. Private, deleted and empty results cost nothing. $6 free every month, no card.

We retrieve publicly accessible pages without LinkedIn accounts or session cookies. You should assess the data and your intended use against your own requirements.
