Scrape Creators alternative: the LinkedIn profile with its job history

We work out the price per 1,000 of each pack on Scrape Creators' pricing page in October 2026 as if you spend all its credits on LinkedIn profiles, 1 credit each.

Scrape Creators' credits never expire, and it sells no subscription. On many endpoints, Scrape Creators can answer from its cache for 0 credits, but its LinkedIn profile page lists no cache option, so each profile costs 1 credit. Its docs don't say whether it bills a profile it can't find.

Through us, you buy no pack, at the prices above. Is there a subscription? No. You add funds to your balance and pay per call. Funds never expire. Sign up at datacircle.dev with your work email: a $5 credit, that's 2,105 LinkedIn profiles at $2.375 per 1,000.

For each volume, we put the cheapest Scrape Creators packs you could buy that month, and the cost at each pack's price per 1,000, next to Datacircle at its cheapest: Fetchin for every profile, at $1.485 per 1,000, with no daily limit.

We left the one-time free credits out of the table: Scrape Creators' 100, with up to 7,000 more to claim, and our $5 credit. The Scrape Creators packs you buy for the month cost more than Datacircle at each volume. Scrape Creators' credits never expire, though, so a pack lasts until you spend its credits. Per 1,000 profiles, Fetchin's $1.485 is less than Freelance's $1.88 and more than Business's $0.994, but the Business pack costs $497 up front. On Datacircle, you pay nothing in a month without calls, and you keep your balance.

Scrape Creators' LinkedIn profile page says its API returns a person's public profile, as you see it in an incognito browser, with no work history or job title. In the example answer on that page, each job has only the company's name, link and location and a masked description, with no title or dates.

Up2Data, HarvestAPI and Fetchin give each job's title, company, dates and description. The docs list every field: see LinkedIn Profile API and the co-op file's columns. Bright Data's docs say its LinkedIn scraper serves the position, experience and education from its cache: see our Bright Data LinkedIn Scraper alternative.

Scrape Creators' docs give this request for a profile:

curl "https://api.scrapecreators.com/v1/linkedin/profile?url=https://www.linkedin.com/in/williamhgates" \
  -H "x-api-key: $SCRAPECREATORS_API_KEY"

Through us, you send Up2Data's own request with your Datacircle key:

curl -X POST "https://api.datacircle.dev/v1/profiles/enrich" \
  -H "Authorization: Token $DATACIRCLE_API_KEY" \
  -H "X-Data-Provider: up2data" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"url": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/williamhgates"}'

Or HarvestAPI's, at $3.70 per 1,000, with no daily limit:

curl "https://api.datacircle.dev/linkedin/profile?url=https://www.linkedin.com/in/williamhgates" \
  -H "Authorization: Token $DATACIRCLE_API_KEY" \
  -H "X-Data-Provider: harvestapi"

Or Fetchin's, at $1.485 per 1,000, with no daily limit. Fetchin charges the same for a profile it can't find:

curl "https://api.datacircle.dev/api/v1/profile?profileUrlOrUrn=https://www.linkedin.com/in/williamhgates" \
  -H "Authorization: Token $DATACIRCLE_API_KEY" \
  -H "X-Data-Provider: fetchin"

Every answer carries datacircle_meta: which provider answered, what the call cost, your balance after it. We charge nothing for a profile Up2Data can't find. The docs' LinkedIn Profile API page has all three providers' requests and answers, field by field. For a whole CSV, see get LinkedIn profile data with Python.

Without code, there is our MCP server. Use it from Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor: add api.datacircle.dev/mcp as an MCP server.

• 38+ APIs on one key: Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, Facebook, Reddit, Threads, Pinterest and Truth Social.
• LinkedIn beyond profiles: company pages and their posts, post search, a post and its transcript, and LinkedIn ads. Its LinkedIn profile call also returns the profile's recent posts, articles and activity.
• A cache on many endpoints, where a cached answer costs 0 credits.
• A lower price per profile at volume: $0.994 per 1,000 with its $497 pack.

If you need many social platforms through one API, or a profile's posts and activity, and the public profile's fields are enough, use Scrape Creators. If you need each profile's current job title and work history, with no markup and no pack to buy, use Datacircle.

Datacircle is a data co-op. Step 1: Query your favorite B2B data APIs through us. Same request, same price, no markup. Step 2: You're DONE. Every morning, you get the flat file of your data plus everyone else's. Add $50 to your account: you get $50 of API PLUS the flat file. See what's in the co-op's daily file, and compare every LinkedIn profile API's price.
