Reed Jobs Scraper: UK Job Listings from Reed.co.uk

This actor scrapes job listings from Reed.co.uk, one of the largest job boards in the UK. You search by keyword and location, or paste any Reed search URL, and get one row per job with the title, employer or agency, location down to the postcode district, salary range and period, contract type, working arrangement, sector, skills, posting and expiry dates and the full job description. It costs $2.00 per 1,000 jobs, with no start fee.

It reads the public job pages the same way a visitor does. It does not need a Reed account, an API key or a login, and it does not apply to jobs.

Features

• Scrape Reed jobs by keyword, for example data analyst, nurse or HGV driver, across the whole UK.
• Search UK jobs by location and radius: a town, county or postcode and a distance of up to 50 miles.
• Filter Reed jobs by job type: permanent, temporary, contract, full-time or part-time.
• Find remote and hybrid jobs in the UK with the working arrangement filter (on-site, hybrid, remote).
• Get jobs posted today, in the last 3 days, last week or last 2 weeks.
• Filter UK jobs by salary with a minimum and maximum in GBP per year.
• Scrape a Reed search URL you set up in the browser. Its filters are used as they are.
• Export the full job description, skills and sector for each job, or switch details off for a faster run.
• Download Reed jobs as CSV, Excel or JSON through the Apify dataset or API.

Use cases

• Recruitment agencies and sourcers: a daily list of new jobs in a sector and region, with the advertiser and whether it was posted by an agency or the employer directly. Direct employer ads are often the ones worth a business development call.
• Salary benchmarking: collect salary ranges for one role across UK regions. With full details on, salaryFromPerYear and salaryToPerYear carry the annual figure Reed works out for the ad, where Reed provides one, so hourly and annual ads can be compared.
• Labour market research: count openings by sector, region, contract type or working arrangement over time with a scheduled run.
• Job search tools and alerts: feed new Reed listings into your own job board, Slack channel or email digest.
• Skills analysis: the skills list Reed attaches to each ad shows which tools and qualifications employers ask for in a role.
• Lead generation: find companies that are hiring for a specific role in a specific town.

Input

Field	What it does
searchQueries (required)	One search per line. A keyword such as data analyst, or a Reed search URL such as https://www.reed.co.uk/jobs/nurse-jobs-in-manchester?perm=true.
location	Town, county or postcode, for example London, Manchester or M1. Empty searches the whole UK.
distanceMiles	Radius around the location: 0, 1, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30 or 50. Other numbers round up to the next of these. Default 10.
jobTypes	Any of permanent, temporary, contract, full-time, part-time. Empty means all.
workingOptions	Any of on-site, hybrid, remote. Empty means all.
postedWithin	anytime (default), today, lastthreedays, lastweek or lasttwoweeks.
salaryFrom, salaryTo	Reed's salary filter in GBP per year. 0 means no limit. Reed matches on the advertised range, so a £60,000 to £80,000 ad counts for a £70,000 minimum, and some ads with an unstated salary are included. Filter on salaryFromPerYear afterwards for a strict cut-off.
includeDetails	Default true. Adds the description, skills, contract type, sector, region, postcode and recruiter type.
maxResults	Stop each search after this many jobs. 0 returns every match.
proxyConfiguration	UK residential Apify Proxy by default. Leave it as is; Reed blocks datacenter IPs after a few pages.

Example input:

{
  "searchQueries": ["nurse"],
  "location": "Manchester",
  "distanceMiles": 10,
  "jobTypes": ["permanent", "full-time"],
  "workingOptions": ["hybrid", "on-site"],
  "postedWithin": "lastweek",
  "salaryFrom": 30000,
  "includeDetails": true,
  "maxResults": 100
}

Location, distance and the filters apply to keyword searches. A pasted Reed URL keeps its own filters and ignores these fields. Input is read tolerantly: Full time, fulltime and full-time all work, salaries can be written as 30k or £30,000, and 7 days maps to the last week. Unknown values are skipped with a warning in the log. With more than one working arrangement the actor runs one search per arrangement and removes duplicate jobs. A job found by two searches in the same run is returned once.

Output

One item per job. With full details on:

  "isGraduate": false,
  "description": "Job Title: Data & BI Analyst ...",
  "descriptionHtml": "Job Title: Data & BI Analyst<br><br> ...",
  "searchQuery": "data analyst"
}

Items also carry companyId, category, subCategory, updatedAt, snippet, externalApplyUrl, isPromoted, isTrainingJob, logoUrl, companyProfileName, country and isLive. With includeDetails set to false you get the fields from the search results only: title, company, location, county, salary, dates, working arrangement, the category and a short snippet. If one job page cannot be read after retries, the row is still returned from the search results with a detailError field.

Pricing

Event	Price
job-scraped, per job returned	$0.002

That is $2.00 per 1,000 jobs. There is no start fee, and full details cost the same as search results only. Proxy traffic is included. Worked example: 100 data analyst jobs with full details cost $0.20. A search that finds nothing costs nothing.

If you set a maximum cost per run in the run options, the actor stops cleanly at that amount and keeps everything it collected.

FAQ

Do I need a Reed account or an API key? No. The actor reads the public search and job pages. It never logs in.

How do I get every job for a search, not only the first 50? Set maxResults to 0. The actor walks all result pages, 25 jobs per page, and fetches several pages in parallel.

How fast is it? In our test runs 100 jobs with full details took about 45 seconds. Without details about 280 jobs took 16 seconds, because each job then needs no extra request.

Can I sort the results by date? No. Reed's robots.txt disallows the sort parameter, so results come in Reed's default order. Use postedWithin to limit the run to recent jobs and sort the dataset afterwards by postedAt.

Can I scrape a single job URL? Not on its own. A URL of one job (/jobs/<title>/<id>) is skipped with a warning. Use a search URL or a keyword.

Does it work for jobs outside the UK? The actor searches reed.co.uk, which is a UK job board. For Australia and New Zealand use the SEEK Jobs Scraper linked below.

Why a UK residential proxy? In our tests Reed answered datacenter IPs with 403 errors after a few pages. Blocked or dropped requests are retried on a new IP, and the log reports how many were retried.

Can I schedule it? Yes. Save a task with your searches and postedWithin set to today, add an Apify schedule, and send the dataset to Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, n8n or your own API endpoint.

What can it not do? It does not apply to jobs, read applicant numbers, log in to Reed, or return contact details that are not in the public ad.
