## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Reed.co.uk Scraper — UK Jobs & Salaries, No Phones

Get job ads from reed.co.uk, one of the UK's largest job boards: title, company, whether it is a direct employer or a recruitment agency, location, the salary as reed shows it plus its minimum, maximum and period, contract type, full-time or part-time, remote / hybrid / on-site, when it was posted and when it closes — and, if you want, the full ad, sector, skills, region and yearly salary. Paste your reed search links — or just type a job title and a place.

**Why this one**

- 🔗 **Your search, as you set it up.** Set every filter you like on reed.co.uk and paste the link. Or type keywords and places here — "accountant" in "Leeds", "hgv driver" in "Glasgow" — and choose distance, salary, contract type, hours, remote or hybrid, "posted within" and employer or agency below.
- ⚡ **Fast.** A live test run read three searches — hybrid jobs in South East London, temporary jobs in Birmingham posted in the last week, permanent accountant jobs within 20 miles of Manchester from £35,000 — 854 jobs in 15 seconds.
- 💷 **Salaries you can sort by.** Next to reed's own salary line ("£25,000 - £28,000 per annum", "£13 per hour") every job has `salaryMin`, `salaryMax`, `salaryPeriod` (hour, day, week, month, year) and `salaryCurrency`. When reed hides the numbers ("Competitive salary", "Salary negotiable") they stay empty.
- 🧹 **No paid courses dressed as jobs.** Reed lists training courses among the jobs ("Trainee AI Engineer"); a live run with them left in counted 132 in 501 results. They are left out unless you untick **Leave out training courses**.
- 🔒 **No phone numbers, no recruiter names.** Companies and agencies are named by their company name only. Reed takes phone numbers and e-mail addresses out of the ads itself; anything it misses is replaced with `[phone removed]` / `[e-mail removed]`, and sentences that name a recruiter ("please contact Simon at …", "send your CV to Kelly or Steve") are taken out of the ad text.
- 💸 **You pay only for jobs delivered.** A link that is not a reed search, or a place reed does not know, comes back as a free record with the reason.

### What you get

For every job:

| Field | What it is |
|---|---|
| `title`, `jobId`, `url` | the job ad |
| `company`, `companyType`, `companyJobsUrl`, `logo` | who posted it — `employer`, `recruitment agency` or `charity or non-profit` — and their page of jobs on reed |
| `location`, `county` | where the job is, as reed shows it |
| `salary`, `salaryMin`, `salaryMax`, `salaryPeriod`, `salaryCurrency` | reed's salary line, and its numbers |
| `contractType`, `hours`, `workplace` | permanent / contract / temporary; full-time / part-time; remote / hybrid / on-site |
| `postedAt`, `createdAt`, `expiresAt` | when it was posted (or reposted), first created, and when it closes |
| `occupation`, `occupationGroup` | reed's job category ("Sales Administrator" in "Administrator") |
| `snippet` | the start of the ad |
| `isPromoted`, `isFeatured`, `isEasyApply`, `isTrainingCourse`, `ukWorkRightRequired` | flags as reed shows them |
| `input`, `place`, `position`, `scrapedAt`, `status`, `error` | which search it came from, and why a search gave nothing |

With **Open every job for the full ad** also: `description`, `sector`, `sectorGroup`, `skills`, `town`, `region`, `country`, `postcodeArea`, `contractLength`, `salaryMinPerYear`, `salaryMaxPerYear`, `isGraduate`, `jobReference`, `isLive` — and `detailsError` for a job that went offline between the search and its page (4 of 565 in a live run).

#### Example

A real record from a live run with the full ad — "administrator" in Liverpool, posted within the last 7 days, 25 September 2026:

### How to use it

1. Paste **Search links** from reed.co.uk, one per line — or type **Keywords** and **Places** (every keyword is searched in every place) and choose the filters.
2. Set **Max jobs per search**, and tick **Open every job for the full ad** if you need the description, skills and sector.
3. Press **Start**, and download the results from the **Output** tab as JSON, CSV or Excel.

To follow new jobs, save your input as a task with **Posted within** set to 1 day and schedule it daily.

You can also call it from the Apify API, from Make, Zapier or n8n, or from an AI agent through the Apify MCP server.

### Pricing

You are charged **per job delivered** — see the price on this page. Opening jobs for the full ad costs nothing extra, only time (about 3.5 jobs a second: 565 jobs with their full ads in 151 seconds in a live run). Links that are not reed searches and places reed does not know are free.

### FAQ

**How many jobs per search?** Reed shows at most the first 10,000 jobs of any search. A live run asked for all of London (21,058 jobs on reed) and got 9,998; the same run read 11,782 jobs from three searches in about 6 minutes. For more, split the search — by keyword, by town or by contract type.

**Are the filters obeyed?** Yes: reed applies them, and the run checks the salary range itself, because reed compares pay as yearly equivalents and lets a few yearly salaries outside the range through. In live runs, 299 of 299 remote software developer jobs were remote, 54 of 54 contract electrician jobs were contracts, and 88 of 88 jobs in a "permanent, from £30,000" search in Glasgow were permanent, none of them paid under £30,000 a year.

**Why does the same job show up in two of my searches?** Each search gets the jobs reed shows for it, without repeats. Reed shows some nationwide "work from home" ads in many searches — 9 of them came in both "nurse" in Manchester and "warehouse" in Leeds in a live run. Use `jobId` to drop them if you combine searches.

**Why no phone numbers or recruiter names?** They are personal data. Every job has its `url`; applicants apply on reed. Reed's own filter takes phone numbers and e-mail addresses out of the ads. Recruiter names are taken out by rules that know how recruiters write them ("get in touch with Sarah at …", "reach out to Phoebe via …", "connect with me on LinkedIn, just search …", a name above "Tel: +44 (0)"). Mistyped e-mail addresses ("…@example,com") are taken out too. Rules can miss an unusual wording: in five live runs with 3,415 full ads, a recruiter's name or e-mail address got through in 6 ads, among them a candidate's testimonial naming "my own consultant" (each of those wordings is caught now). That is why the full ad is off by default; the short `snippet` goes through the same rules.

**Is this affiliated with Reed?** No. This is an independent tool that reads public job ads on reed.co.uk.

# Actor input Schema

## `searchUrls` (type: `array`):

Set up a search on reed.co.uk with all the filters you want and paste the address of the results page. One per line. Company pages (reed.co.uk/jobs/<company>/p…) and sector pages (reed.co.uk/jobs/it-jobs) work too.

## `keywords` (type: `array`):

Or search here without a link: job titles or keywords (accountant, registered nurse, c# developer). Each keyword is searched in each place below, or in the whole UK when there is no place. The filters below apply.

## `locations` (type: `array`):

Towns, cities, counties, regions or postcodes in the UK (Leeds, Greater Manchester, Surrey, LS1). A place without keywords gives all its jobs.

## `radius` (type: `string`):

For the places above: how far around the place, as on reed.co.uk.

## `minSalary` (type: `integer`):

Optional. Reed compares hourly and daily rates as their yearly equivalent.

## `maxSalary` (type: `integer`):

Optional.

## `contractTypes` (type: `array`):

Optional: only jobs of any of these kinds.

## `hours` (type: `string`):

Optional.

## `workplace` (type: `string`):

Optional.

## `postedWithinDays` (type: `string`):

Optional: only jobs posted (or reposted) recently.

## `postedBy` (type: `string`):

Optional: direct employers or recruitment agencies only.

## `graduateOnly` (type: `boolean`):

Optional.

## `hideTrainingCourses` (type: `boolean`):

Reed lists paid training courses among the jobs ("Trainee AI Engineer", "Coding and Programming Trainee"). On by default, for search links too.

## `maxListingsPerSearch` (type: `integer`):

Stops each search after this many jobs. Reed shows at most the first 10,000 jobs of a search.

## `includeDetails` (type: `boolean`):

Off by default. Adds the full job description, sector, skills, region, postcode area, contract length, yearly salary and the job reference. One more page per job, so slower (about 3.5 jobs a second). Sentences that name a recruiter are taken out of the ad by rules, which can miss an unusual wording — see the README.

## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`):

How many searches to work on at the same time.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Used only when reed turns a request down: the first try goes out directly.

## Actor input object example

```json

  "searchUrls": [
    "https://www.reed.co.uk/jobs/python-developer-jobs-in-london"
