Reed Jobs Scraper · UK Vacancies, Salaries & Employers

Reed Jobs Scraper (Reed.co.uk job scraper) extracts UK job listings and vacancies from Reed.co.uk. Search UK jobs by keyword, location, town, county, salary range, contract type, remote status, and posting date.

Maintained by reapX. Every row cites the Apify run that produced it — nothing is inferred, modelled or filled in, and a field absent from the source is absent from the row. The extracted archive for this source is browsable at reapx.dev/data/reed-jobs-scraper/ and mirrored as an open dataset on Hugging Face and Kaggle. Questions: reapxdev@proton.me

Extract job title, hiring employer, job ID, location, advertised salary, job type, full job description, and application URLs. Ideal for recruitment, hiring analytics, labor market insights, and job board aggregation. Fast HTTP extraction with no login or API key required.

How to scrape Reed jobs

1. Put a job keyword in - python developer, registered nurse, hgv driver. Leave it empty to search everything.
2. Add a location - any UK town, city or county.
3. Narrow by salary, contract type, remote working, part time or posting date.
4. Set Max jobs. You are charged once per job returned, so that is your cost cap.

Filters

Salary, contract type, remote working, part time, agency exclusion and posting date are applied by Reed itself, so they narrow the search rather than fetching rows and discarding them:

• Posted within - today, 3 days, a week or 2 weeks. These are the only four windows Reed supports; any other value is silently ignored by the site, so the actor refuses it and says so rather than returning unfiltered results that look filtered.
• Minimum / maximum salary in £/year - postings quoted hourly, daily or monthly are excluded from an annual comparison rather than being converted with a guess.
• Only jobs that advertise a salary - Reed marks some postings with a filter band rather than real pay, and those are treated as having no salary.
• Contract type - Permanent, Contract or Temporary.
• Part-time only - independent of contract type, because on Reed it is a separate flag.
• Remote and hybrid only, direct employers only, employer name contains.

What you can build with it

• UK salary benchmarking - advertised pay by role, county and seniority, refreshed daily.
• Hiring-demand tracking - vacancy counts per keyword over time show which skills are heating up.
• Competitor headcount signals - everything one employer is advertising, by employerId.
• Recruitment market analysis - agency versus direct-employer share of a sector.
• Remote-work research - how the on-site / hybrid / remote split moves by role and region.
• Job-board aggregation - clean, deduplicated rows with a stable ID and a permanent URL.
• Candidate alerting - a narrow search on a short posting window, scheduled hourly.

Input configuration

Every field is optional. The prefilled values below are what runs if you press Start without changing anything.

What and where

Leave both empty and the run returns the newest vacancies across all of Reed.

Field	Type	Accepts	What it does
what	string	free text	Job title or skill, exactly as you would type it into Reed's own search box. Leave empty to search every vacancy on the site. Prefilled with "python developer".
where	string	free text	UK town, city, county or region. Reed matches its own location vocabulary, so "london", "greater-manchester" and "west-midlands" all work.

How much to fetch

Reed serves 25 vacancies per page, so this decides both the runtime and the price of the run.

Field	Type	Accepts	What it does
maxJobs	integer	1 to 2000	Hard cap on how many vacancies the run returns. This is also your cost cap: you are charged once per job returned. Prefilled with 100.

Filters

Salary, contract type, remote working and posting date are applied by Reed itself, so they narrow the search rather than discarding rows afterwards.

Field	Type	Accepts	What it does
postedWithinDays	string	1, 3, 7, 14	How recently the vacancy was posted. Reed supports exactly these four windows; any other value is ignored by the site and would silently return everything, so only these are offered.
minSalaryGbp	integer	0 to any	Only vacancies advertising at least this annual salary. Postings quoted hourly, daily or monthly are excluded, because they are not comparable to an annual figure.
maxSalaryGbp	integer	0 to any	Only vacancies advertising at most this annual salary.
onlyWithSalary	true/false	checkbox	Drop vacancies with no published pay. Reed marks some postings with a filter band rather than real pay; those are treated as having no salary.
jobType	string	Permanent, Contract, Temporary	Limit to one kind of engagement. Part time is not a contract type on Reed; use the part-time filter below instead.
onlyPartTime	true/false	checkbox	Keep only vacancies Reed marks as part time. This is independent of contract type, so a part-time permanent role and a part-time contract both qualify.
onlyRemote	true/false	checkbox	Drop vacancies Reed marks as on-site only.
excludeAgencies	true/false	checkbox	Exclude recruitment agency listings and keep only vacancies posted by the hiring employer.
employer	string	free text	Keep only vacancies whose employer name contains this text, matched case-insensitively.

Pricing

Pay per event. The primary event is Job returned (job-returned), charged at $0.002 per event on the free plan, falling to $0.0008 on the highest tier.

Charged once per complete job vacancy written to the default dataset. A blocked source, a changed page shape and a search that matches nothing are never charged.

Minimum charge cap per run: $0.002.

Tiered discounts apply automatically on every paid Apify plan. Platform usage is absorbed by the Actor, so the per-event price is the whole price.

FAQ

How do I scrape jobs from Reed.co.uk?

Run this actor with a job keyword and optionally a location. It reads Reed's public job-search pages, which publish their results as structured data in the page itself, so there is no HTML guesswork and no browser.

Do I need a Reed API key?

No. Reed's Jobseeker API needs a registered key, and Reed's robots.txt disallows /api/ to crawlers, so this actor deliberately does not touch it. It reads the public /jobs/ pages, which robots.txt allows for every agent, and it never uses the query parameters Reed asks crawlers to avoid.

How recent can I make the results?

Reed offers four posting windows - today, last 3 days, last week and last 2 weeks - and this actor offers exactly those. Any other number is ignored by Reed's own site and would quietly return everything, so the actor reports that instead of pretending the filter worked.

Why do some jobs have no salary?

Because the employer did not advertise one. Reed also attaches a wide filter band to some postings that is not real pay - measured over 250 postings, those bands run a median £90,000 wide, with entries like "Night Warehouse Operative £25,000-£100,000". Those are reported as having no salary rather than published as if they were genuine figures. Turn on Only jobs that advertise a salary to drop them entirely.

What is the difference between contract type and part time?

On Reed they are separate. Contract type is Permanent, Contract or Temporary; part time is its own flag, so a part-time permanent role and a part-time contract both exist. Use Contract type for the first and Part-time only for the second.

How many jobs can one run return?

Up to 2,000 per search. Reed serves 25 vacancies per page, so a 500-job run is 20 page requests. Split a bigger job across keywords or locations.

How do I track one employer's hiring?

Put their name into Employer name contains. Every row also carries employerId, Reed's stable advertiser identifier, so you can group across runs even if the display name changes.

How often should I re-run it?

Daily is enough for market research; hourly suits candidate alerting on a narrow search with Posted within: Today. Rows are keyed by jobId, so diffing runs is straightforward.

Can an AI agent call this actor?

Yes. Every input and output field carries a title, description and example, and every row is addressed by Reed's jobId, so an agent can fill the input and chain the output without extra prompting.

How it works

1. You set the filters below, or none at all.
2. The Actor calls the source's own public endpoint and pages through the results.
3. Every row is pushed to the dataset as it is built, not buffered to the end — so a run that hits its time limit still returns everything it collected up to that point.
4. You are charged per row returned, so the maximum-results field is also your cost cap.
