Usage Guide

Step 1: Prepare Job URLs Collect specific Reed.co.uk job detail page URLs (not search results). Each URL should point directly to an individual job posting. Use Reed's search functionality to identify relevant positions, then extract the detailed page URLs.

Step 2: Configure Input Parameters Set appropriate retry limits (2-3 recommended) to handle temporary connectivity issues. Configure proxy settings to match your target geographic region - UK proxies are typically optimal for Reed.co.uk data collection.

Step 3: Execute Data Collection Submit your configuration and monitor the extraction process. The scraper processes each URL sequentially, implementing respectful delays to avoid overwhelming Reed's servers.

Step 4: Data Processing and Validation Review extracted data for completeness and accuracy. Pay particular attention to salary information, job descriptions, and temporal fields which may require formatting for your specific use case.

Best Practices:

• Batch URLs in groups of 50-100 for optimal performance
• Use residential proxies to maintain consistent access
• Implement data deduplication based on Job ID fields
• Regular extraction schedules help track job market dynamics
• Validate critical fields like salary ranges and location data

Common Issues and Solutions:

• Missing Data: Some fields may be empty if not provided by the original job posting
• Format Variations: Salary and date formats may vary between employers
• Access Restrictions: Use appropriate proxy rotation to maintain reliable access
