Reed.co.uk Jobs Scraper - UK Job Listings with Salary

Scrape public UK job listings from reed.co.uk, the UK's largest job board, and get clean, analysis-ready data: salary as numbers (min, max, period: hour, day or year), contract type, full-time/part-time, remote/hybrid/on-site, posted and closing dates, employer and, if you want them, the full job description and Reed's skill tags. Search by keywords, location and Reed's own filters, or paste any Reed search URL. An "Only new jobs" mode turns a daily schedule into a job-alert feed at no extra charge. No login, no API key, no browser.

Why this one: most Reed scrapers return the salary as a text string ("£650 - £750 per day"). UK buyers filter and benchmark by salary, so this Actor parses it into salaryMin, salaryMax and salaryPeriod, and it costs less than the alternatives that charge per detail page or a monitor fee.

Use cases

• Salary benchmarking: day rates for contractors, annual salaries for permanent roles, by city and job title.
• Job-alert feeds: schedule a daily run with Only new jobs and push new vacancies to Slack, email or a spreadsheet.
• Recruitment market intelligence: which agencies and employers are hiring, for what, and where.
• Job aggregators and boards: the same flat field layout as our Dice, SEEK and XING job scrapers.
• Labour-market research: remote vs hybrid share, contract vs permanent mix, posting volumes over time.

How to use

1. Enter one or more Keywords (each one is a separate search) and a Location.
2. Optionally set filters: salary range, contract type, full/part-time, remote/hybrid/on-site, date posted, Easy Apply.
3. Turn Include full job details off for a faster, cheaper listing-only feed.
4. Run, then download the data as JSON, CSV, Excel or via the API.

Pricing

Pay per event, no monthly fee:

Event	Price	When
job	$0.001	Each job listing output
job-details	$0.0005	Each job whose detail page (full description, skills) was fetched

• 1,000 jobs, listing data only ≈ $1.00
• 1,000 jobs with full descriptions ≈ $1.50
• The "Only new jobs" mode has no monitor surcharge: you pay only for the new jobs that are output.
• Set Maximum cost per run in the run options; the Actor stops cleanly when it is reached.
• A job whose detail page couldn't be fetched (expired, blocked) is not charged job-details.

Tips and limits

• Reed shows 25 jobs per page. For very broad searches (thousands of results), split by location or keyword and use filters to keep runs short.
• Results come in Reed's default (relevance) order. Sorting by date isn't offered because sortBy URLs are disallowed by reed.co.uk's robots.txt; use Date posted to narrow to recent jobs.
• Salary filters are Reed's own: they match on overlapping ranges, so a £55k-£65k job can appear for "from £60,000".
• When the employer hides the figure ("Salary negotiable", "Competitive salary"), salaryText shows that wording and salaryMin/salaryMax are null, as on the site.
• Training-course adverts (paid courses Reed lists as "trainee" jobs) are hidden by default; turn off Hide training-course listings to include them (isTrainingCourse: true).
• Times on Reed are UK local; the Actor converts them to UTC ISO timestamps.
• detailsStatus tells you per job whether the full description was fetched (ok), the job had expired (not-found) or the page was blocked. The run's RUN_SUMMARY record counts these too.
• For Only new jobs, use a different State key per alert. Seen jobs are forgotten after 90 days. Max result pages (default 40) caps how far an alert run pages through results it has mostly seen before.

FAQ

Is it legal to scrape reed.co.uk? This Actor collects only publicly visible job listings, without logging in, and follows reed.co.uk's robots.txt (no /api/ or sortBy URLs). It does not harvest personal data: no recruiter contact fields are output, and email addresses and phone numbers inside job descriptions are replaced with [email removed] / [phone removed]. You are responsible for using the data in line with Reed's terms, UK GDPR and other laws that apply to you.

Do I need a proxy? Usually not. If Reed starts answering 403/429, enable Apify Proxy (datacenter). Residential proxies are not supported: if you select the RESIDENTIAL group, the Actor logs a warning and uses Apify datacenter proxy instead.

Can I scrape several keywords at once? Yes. Each keyword is a separate search with its own Max jobs per search limit, and a job found by more than one search is output only once per run.

Why are some fields null? region, postcode, sector, skills and the full description come from the job page, so they are null when Include full job details is off. Some employers don't give a postcode or salary.

What currency are salaries in? Reed salaries are in pounds (salaryCurrency: "GBP"). If a listing uses another currency, salaryCurrency is null and salaryText has no £ sign.
