LinkedIn Profile URL Finder

Runs in the cloud, no browser required.

Check out the Tutorial for step-by-step setup.

Note: This automation will process only the first 100 profiles in your list if you are on a free trial account.

What you give / What you get

You provide a list of names plus company or email identifiers. PhantomBuster delivers back clean, verified LinkedIn profile URLs ready for outreach or enrichment.

Important: Your contact info needs to follow one of these formats: First name and last name or Full name + Company name OR First name and last name or Full name + Professional email address. If you only have names and locations, the Phantom won’t be able to find accurate matches as there are too many people with similar names, and location alone isn’t enough to narrow it down. Without one of these additional identifiers, the Phantom will not launch and will return an error.

You can start with the LinkedIn Search Export if you only have the full name and location. This Phantom can return the person’s LinkedIn profile URL, current job, and company name.

What you can automate with LinkedIn Profile URL Finder

Here's what PhantomBuster's LinkedIn Profile URL Finder Automation can do automatically for you:

Frequently asked questions

Here are the most common questions about using LinkedIn Profile URL Finder, from setup and compliance to data quality and workflow integration.

How do I get started with LinkedIn Profile URL Finder?

Getting started is simple. Prepare a list of names plus either company names or professional email addresses in Google Sheets or HubSpot CRM, then connect it to the Automation. The Phantom runs in the cloud and doesn't require your browser or computer to be on. See the full Tutorial for step-by-step setup instructions, or explore our LinkedIn prospecting guide for strategic tips.

How accurate are the profile URLs found by this Automation?

The LinkedIn Profile URL Finder searches LinkedIn in real-time, delivering fresh, live data rather than pulling from static databases. Accuracy improves when you provide both full names and either company names or professional email addresses. Unlike outdated contact databases, this Automation finds current profiles and can detect job changes as they happen, keeping your contact list accurate and up to date.

Is it safe to use LinkedIn Profile URL Finder?

Yes, when used responsibly. PhantomBuster operates within LinkedIn's rate limits and mimics natural human behavior to keep your account safe. We recommend running the Automation during business hours and avoiding high-volume bursts. To stay compliant, read our guide on LinkedIn data scraping legality and review LinkedIn's 2025 limits to understand safe usage thresholds.

How many profiles can I process with this Automation?

On a free trial account, the Automation processes the first 100 profiles in your list (max 50/day for a total of 100/month). Paid plans remove this limitation, allowing you to process more profiles depending on your subscription tier. The Automation runs in the cloud 24/7, so you can set it and let it work in the background while you focus on outreach and closing deals.

What's the difference between LinkedIn Profile URL Finder and LinkedIn Profile Scraper?

The LinkedIn Profile URL Finder matches names and company or email data to LinkedIn profile URLs. The LinkedIn Profile Scraper takes those URLs and extracts full profile data, including job titles, skills, education, and contact information. Use the URL Finder first to identify profiles, then feed those URLs into the Profile Scraper for deep enrichment.

Can I connect this Automation to my HubSpot CRM?

Absolutely. This tool inputs from Google Sheets and integrates with HubSpot, allowing you to automatically enrich new contacts and tailor your lead generation strategy. Once connected, the Automation detects LinkedIn profile changes and keeps your CRM data current 24/7. For a complete workflow, explore our AI lead qualification and CRM sync playbook.

What are LinkedIn's limits for profile searches?

LinkedIn monitors account activity and enforces limits on profile views, searches, and connection requests. Free LinkedIn accounts have lower thresholds than Premium or Sales Navigator accounts. To avoid triggering restrictions, follow safe daily limits and space out your Automation runs. Read our guide on LinkedIn's 2025 limits to learn how to scale safely and stay compliant.

Can I combine this Automation with other PhantomBuster tools?

Yes, and that's where the real power comes in. After finding LinkedIn profile URLs, you can chain the LinkedIn Profile Scraper to extract full profile data, then use the LinkedIn Auto Connect Phantom to send personalized connection requests. For a complete end-to-end workflow, check out our personalized AI outreach playbook.

Why use PhantomBuster instead of manually searching LinkedIn?

Manual LinkedIn prospecting is time-consuming and inconsistent. PhantomBuster automates the entire process, finding profile URLs in minutes instead of hours, and runs in the cloud so you don't need to keep your browser open. Unlike static contact databases that grow outdated quickly, this Automation pulls live data and can detect job changes as they happen. Explore PhantomBuster pricing to find the plan that fits your prospecting volume.

What input data do I need to run this Automation?

You need a list of full names (or first and last names) plus either company names or professional email addresses. Your contact info needs to follow one of these formats: First name and last name or Full name + Company name OR First name and last name or Full name + Professional email address. Without one of these additional identifiers, the Phantom will not be able to launch and will return an error. For detailed setup instructions, see the Tutorial.
