Reed.co.uk Jobs Scraper & UK Jobs API

Search and export public UK job listings from Reed.co.uk by keyword, location, salary, contract, date posted, remote status, employer type, or Reed job/search URL.

Use this Actor to collect structured Reed.co.uk job data for recruiting research, lead generation, UK labor-market analysis, salary tracking, job-board workflows, and internal dashboards. Results can be downloaded as CSV, JSON, Excel, XML, RSS, or used through the Apify Dataset API.

At a glance

• UK job search: Search Reed.co.uk by job title, skill, keyword, location, radius, job type, and posting freshness.
• Search and job URL reuse: Paste a Reed.co.uk search URL or individual job URL when you already have the right target.
• Precise filters: Combine location/radius, salary range, posting age, contract or hours, remote mode, and employer/agency source.
• Structured rows: Export titles, employers, locations, numeric salary ranges, contract and remote status, sectors, dates, Reed IDs, profiles, and apply links.
• Description control: Include full description text and HTML plus richer detail-page fields, or keep runs lighter with search snippets.
• Reliable automation: Bounded retries, optional proxy routing, deadlines, duplicate control, and run summaries make scheduled failures visible.
• API export: Send Reed job rows to spreadsheets, CRMs, BI tools, job boards, monitoring workflows, or AI agents.

How to run it

1. Open the Actor on Apify.
2. Enter one or more search queries or Reed search URLs.
3. Add an optional UK location, radius, date-posted filter, or job-type filter.
4. Set maxItems to the number of listings you want to save.
5. Choose whether to include full descriptions.
6. Start the run and export the dataset.

Search tips

• Use clear role names: software developer, finance manager, or customer success usually works better than one broad word.
• Compare locations separately: Run one city or region per input when you need clean comparisons.
• Reuse browser searches: Paste startUrls when you have already configured a Reed search manually.
• Control spend: Keep maxItems small while testing and increase it after checking the result quality.
• Enable details selectively: Full descriptions are useful for keyword analysis, but snippets are faster for simple company/title lists.
• Use runTag for monitoring: Label scheduled searches so downstream rows remain attributable after export or merging.

Limits and caveats

• The Actor extracts publicly visible Reed.co.uk job-search data.
• It does not access private employer dashboards, applicant data, or login-gated recruiter tools.
• Salary and company fields are empty when Reed does not show them for a listing.
• Reed search filters can change, so validate important scheduled searches after changing input settings.
• A filtered search with no matching live jobs completes with an explicit empty summary; invalid, blocked, or changed source pages fail clearly instead of pretending to be empty.
• RUN_SUMMARY and the backward-compatible OUTPUT record report saved rows, retries, filtered and duplicate rows, source failures, detail failures, deadline state, and billing-budget state.

Integrations

You can connect Reed job data to downstream tools:

• Export CSV or Excel to spreadsheets for weekly recruiting reports.
• Send hiring-company lists to a CRM for sales or account research.
• Load JSON rows into BI tools such as Looker Studio, Power BI, or Tableau.
• Trigger Slack, email, or webhook alerts after scheduled runs.
• Combine Reed outputs with ATS and remote-job scrapers for broader market coverage.

FAQ

Can I use this as a Reed.co.uk jobs API?

Yes. You can run the Actor through the Apify API and read results from the Dataset API.

Can I export Reed.co.uk jobs to CSV or Excel?

Yes. Apify datasets can be downloaded as CSV, JSON, Excel, XML, RSS, HTML, or accessed through the API.

Why is salary empty?

Some Reed.co.uk listings do not publish salary text or use hidden salary settings.

Why did I get fewer jobs than maxItems?

The search may have fewer matching public listings, filters may be strict, duplicate jobs may occur across sources, the safe deadline may stop new requests, or your run budget may cap paid rows. Check RUN_SUMMARY for the exact reason.

Support

If a run fails, returns no data, or a field looks wrong, open an issue from the Actor page.

Please include the Apify run ID or run URL, input JSON, one example public URL, query, or input item, what you expected, and what the dataset returned. Small reproducible inputs make parsing or site-layout issues much faster to fix.

Privacy and data handling

This Actor runs with Apify limited permissions and only processes data needed for the documented run. It uses job-search inputs and public job-posting results to produce the output dataset and sends requests to public Reed Co Uk Jobs pages/endpoints; results are stored in Apify run storage for your account. FetchCat does not use your inputs or outputs for advertising, does not use them for model training, and does not retain them outside the Apify run except for transient support debugging when you explicitly share run details. You are responsible for using the Actor lawfully, respecting the target site's terms, and avoiding unnecessary personal or sensitive data in inputs.
