💼 Reed.co.uk Scraper

🚀 Pull UK job listings in seconds. Filter by keyword, location, salary, sector, contract type and remote option. No API key, no registration, no manual CSV wrangling.

🕒 Last updated: 2026-05-16 · 📊 27 fields per record · 108,000+ live vacancies · 37 sectors supported · GBP salaries normalised

Reed.co.uk is one of the UK's largest job boards, listing more than 108,000 active vacancies across every sector at any given time. This Actor turns that catalogue into a clean, structured dataset. Each result includes the job title, employer, location, county, salary range, contract type, sector, posting date and the full job description, ready for analysis, automation or import into your downstream tools. Searches accept the same parameters as the Reed.co.uk website: keyword, location with a configurable radius, minimum and maximum salary, full or part time, permanent, contract or temporary, remote or hybrid, recruitment agency or direct employer, and over a dozen other filters.

Use the Actor on its own for one-off extracts, or schedule it to run daily and feed a salary tracker, an ATS pipeline or a market-intelligence dashboard. The scraper reads the same JSON the Reed.co.uk website does, so you get consistent, normalised data on every run without parsing fragile HTML. Salaries are decoded into separate minimum, maximum, currency and frequency fields, contract types are mapped to human-readable labels, and every record carries the Reed listing URL plus the direct application link where one is published. Pagination, deduplication, proxy rotation and rate handling are all built in.

🎯 Target Audience	💡 Primary Use Cases
Recruitment agencies and in-house talent teams	Track new vacancies in your niche, monitor competitor hiring, build live job boards
HR analysts and compensation specialists	Benchmark UK salaries by sector, location and seniority
Job market researchers and economists	Measure labour-market signal across regions, sectors and time
Career sites, aggregators and ATS vendors	Power UK job feeds without scraping infrastructure

📋 What the Reed.co.uk Scraper does

• 🔍 Search by keyword and location. Pass a job title plus a UK town or county and the scraper builds the same SEO-optimised URL the site uses, including a configurable mileage radius.
• 💰 Filter by salary band. Set a minimum, a maximum, or both, in GBP per year, to focus on roles within your bracket.
• 📅 Filter by date posted. Limit to jobs posted today, in the last 3, 7 or 14 days, or pull the full live catalogue.
• 🏢 Filter by sector. Pick one or many of the 37 Reed.co.uk sectors, from Accountancy to Transport & Logistics.
• 🏠 Filter by remote, hybrid, contract type and work hours. Combine permanent, contract or temporary with full or part time and remote or hybrid.
• 📝 Capture full job descriptions. Every record includes the complete job description as plain text, ready for indexing or LLM ingestion.

Each record contains 27 fields covering the employer (name, logo, profile URL), the job itself (title, ID, Reed URL, application URL, category, subcategory), commercial details (salary minimum, maximum, currency, frequency, contract type, full or part time, remote option), workflow flags (Easy Apply, Early Bird, promoted), timestamps (posted and expiry dates) and the cleaned job description.

💡 Why it matters: UK hiring data is fragmented across many job boards. Reed.co.uk hosts UK employers who do not post elsewhere, so it is a key source for any UK-focused recruitment, salary or labour-market analysis.

Example: search marketing roles in London paying over £40,000, full time and permanent.

{
  "keywords": "marketing",
  "location": "london",
  "salaryFrom": 40000,
  "contractTypes": ["perm"],
  "workHours": ["fullTime"],
  "datePosted": "lastSevenDays",
  "maxItems": 100
}

Example: pull every IT & Telecoms job posted in the last 3 days, sorted by date.

{
  "sectors": ["52"],
  "datePosted": "lastThreeDays",
  "sortBy": "dateDesc",
  "maxItems": 500
}

⚠️ Good to Know: Reed.co.uk returns 25 results per page. The scraper paginates automatically until either maxItems is reached or the search ends. Reed.co.uk caps any single search at around 6,000 results in the UI, so for very broad pulls split the work by sector or by location and merge the datasets.
