Reed.co.uk Scraper — UK Jobs, Salaries, Employers & Locations

Extract structured job listings from Reed.co.uk, one of the UK's largest job boards. Search by keyword and location and get clean JSON/CSV with titles, published salaries, employers, job types and direct application links.

Why use this scraper

• Salary as published — Reed employers disclose salary more often than most UK boards; you get the exact text (£35,000 - £45,000 per annum). When it is not disclosed, the field is null — never guessed.
• Direct application links — every row links straight to the posting.
• Job types included — permanent, contract, part-time, as the board publishes them.
• Zero-billed empty searches — an unrecognised search returns zero rows and costs nothing.
• Pure HTTP — no browser, fast, cheap; a 100-job run typically finishes in seconds.

What data you get

{
  "id": "51234567",
  "title": "Software Engineer",
  "url": "https://www.reed.co.uk/jobs/software-engineer/51234567",
  "salary": "£45,000 - £55,000 per annum",
  "company": "Example Recruitment Ltd",
  "location": "Manchester",
  "jobType": "Permanent",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-08-11T10:00:00.000Z"
}

Fields the posting does not include are null — this Actor never invents data.

How to run it

1. Set keywords (e.g. "developer", "warehouse operative", "registered nurse").
2. Set location (e.g. "london", "manchester", "birmingham").
3. Click Start and export the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel.

Works out of the box: the default input (developer in london, 100 items) runs successfully with no changes.

Input parameters

Field	Type	Default	Description
keywords	string	"developer"	Search terms.
location	string	"london"	UK city or region.
maxItems	integer	100	Cap on returned jobs.

Pricing

$3.00 per 1,000 jobs (pay per event, no subscription). Examples:

• 100 jobs → $0.30
• 500 jobs → $1.50
• Zero results → $0.00.

Use cases

• Job alerts — schedule daily runs per keyword/city and push new rows to Sheets, Slack or email.
• UK salary research — Reed's high salary-disclosure rate makes it the best UK board for comparing published ranges.
• Recruitment intelligence — track which employers and recruiters post most in a sector.
• Relocation research — same keyword across cities, compare volume and pay.
• AI agents — call this Actor as a tool through the Apify MCP server.

Limitations

• Returns what the Reed results feed publishes; per-posting page details (full description text) are out of scope.
• One keyword string and one location per run — loop over combinations with Schedules or API calls.
• Postings by anonymous recruiters carry the recruiter name Reed shows, which may be an agency.

FAQ

How do I scrape Reed.co.uk without coding? Run this Actor from the Apify Console — set keyword and city, press Start, export CSV.

Does it return salaries? Yes, exactly as published, in the salary field — Reed postings disclose them unusually often. null when the employer hides it.

Can I search all of the UK? Set location to a broad region or run several cities on a Schedule.

Is this the official Reed API? No — it reads the public search results, the same ones a visitor sees, without login.
