How we rank

What the ranking is built on

Every provider here has an endpoint that returns a LinkedIn person profile in the looot catalog.
We rank by the price per call of that endpoint, read live from the catalog. A cheaper call ranks higher.
The catalog does not publish a measured success rate for these endpoints, so this page does not rank by one and quotes none.
Extras are other LinkedIn endpoints the provider has in the catalog. More extras does not mean better results.
The fields a profile returns differ by provider. The ranking compares price, not how complete the profile is.
Providers outside the looot catalog are not ranked.

The prompt

Let your agent pick the cheapest.

Paste the prompt. The agent finds the SERP endpoints, checks each price and runs the cheapest one that fits.

One run is one call.
Runs on demand, whenever you ask.
Checking on a timer needs scheduled runs, not available yet.

FAQ

Questions people ask

It depends on the job. This page ranks the looot catalog providers by live price per call for a LinkedIn person profile. Pick the cheapest for plain lookups, or the provider that returns the fields you need, such as full work history or recent posts.

The first row of the ranking above, read live from the catalog. Prices can change, so the page reads them on each refresh and shows no number when the catalog is unreachable.

It depends on the provider. The ranking above shows the live price per call for each one. The catalog shows the price of any endpoint before you run it, and some providers bill by the sections you request.

What LinkedIn's own API allows is set by LinkedIn, and this page makes no claim about it. Read LinkedIn's developer documentation for that. This page ranks the looot catalog endpoints that return a public profile from a profile URL.

A service that takes a profile URL and returns the profile as structured data, so you do not parse a web page yourself. The providers above do that, and the fields they return differ.

Usually a name, headline, location and current position. Some also return work history, education, skills, posts or follower counts. The verdict on each row says what that provider lists in the catalog.

Some providers can. The extras tags in the ranking show which ones have a company profile endpoint in the catalog, and a few also return company posts.

This page ranks one job, a profile from a profile URL. Some providers have search endpoints too, and the catalog lists them. Use a search endpoint first to find the URLs, then run the profile endpoint on each.

Paste the prompt on this page into your agent. It sets up looot, finds the profile endpoint, checks the price and runs the cheapest one that fits. Your agent calls it through one connection with no UI.

This page ranks every catalog provider that returns a LinkedIn person profile, and your agent can call any of them with one key. A vendor that is not in the looot catalog is not ranked here.

The catalog does not publish a measured success rate for these endpoints. We would rather rank by a number we can read than quote one we cannot.

No. looot bills per call, and nothing runs while your agent is idle.
