Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. Actors are written with capital "A". ## 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. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Reed Job Scraper β€” UK Jobs, Salaries & Descriptions Scrape UK job listings from **Reed.co.uk** with rich, structured data: title, company, location, salary, contract type, sector, remote option, and the **full job description**.

No login or API key required. Reed's public data works from datacenter IPs; enable a proxy only for very large volumes. # Actor input Schema ## `searchQueries` (type: `array`): Job search keywords (e.g. "python developer", "nurse", "account manager"). Each is scraped separately. ## `location` (type: `string`): Filter by UK location (e.g. "London", "Manchester", "Bristol"). Leave blank for all locations. ## `proximity` (type: `integer`): Search radius around the location, in miles. Only applies when a location is set. ## `fullTimeOnly` (type: `boolean`): Only return full-time jobs. ## `partTimeOnly` (type: `boolean`): Only return part-time jobs. ## `contractType` (type: `string`): Filter by contract type. ## `salaryFrom` (type: `integer`): Only jobs with a minimum annual salary at or above this amount (GBP). ## `salaryTo` (type: `integer`): Only jobs with a maximum annual salary at or below this amount (GBP). ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum jobs to scrape per search keyword. ## `includeDescription` (type: `boolean`): Fetch each job's full description text and structured salary/contract details (add-on, charged per description). ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Optional. Reed's public data works from datacenter IPs; enable a proxy only for very large volumes. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchQueries": [ "python developer" ], "proximity": 10, "fullTimeOnly": false, "partTimeOnly": false, "contractType": "", "maxItems": 100, "includeDescription": false, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false } } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "searchQueries": [ "python developer" ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("hipersoft/reed-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`πŸ’Ύ Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // πŸ“š Want to learn more πŸ“–?
