## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability agdata-linkedin-profile-scraper-b65c007d -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the public LinkedIn profile for williamhgates and give me their current job title, work history, and bio as structured data?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when your agent needs structured LinkedIn profile data without managing API keys, subscriptions, or OAuth flows. It is ideal for pay-per-use agent workflows where you only need occasional lookups and want to avoid committing to a monthly plan on platforms like Apify or Bright Data. It is purpose-built for AI agents using the x402 payment protocol on Base.

## Known failure modes

- Profile not found or private — returns error if the username/URL does not correspond to a public profile
- Invalid query format — malformed username or unrecognized URN format may result in a parse error
- Payment failure — if the x402 USDC payment on Base is not completed, the request is rejected
- Rate limiting or LinkedIn blocking — the scraper may be temporarily blocked by LinkedIn, resulting in a failed or incomplete response
- Stale data — public profile data is fetched live but may not reflect very recent updates

## How this service works

Web scraping API for AI agents: extract public data from Instagram, TikTok, and Google Maps as clean structured JSON, billed pay-per-result in USDC on Base via the x402 exact scheme. An agent-native alternative to web-scraping platforms like Apify, Bright Data, and ScraperAPI — no API keys, no accounts, no subscriptions: the agent just pays per call.

## Output

A structured JSON object containing publicly available LinkedIn profile fields such as name, headline, current position, work experience, education, skills, connections count, and biography, extracted directly from the public profile page.
