Pricing

Event	Price
Actor start	$0.001
SERP result (fast mode)	$0.003
Detail result (full mode)	$0.005

detail_status is ok when the detail page was read, failed when full mode was requested but the page failed or was empty, and null in fast mode. Jobs whose detail page could not be loaded are billed as search results.

Typical cost: $3 per 1,000 jobs in fast mode, $5 per 1,000 jobs in full mode.

Tips

• Start small: Test with maxResults: 10 before scaling up
• Use fast mode for bulk data collection where you only need titles, companies, and salary ranges
• Use full mode when you need complete job descriptions or structured salary breakdowns
• Combine queries: Use searchQueries with multiple keywords to cover related roles in one run
• Results are automatically deduplicated across queries

Limitations

• Reed.co.uk shows a maximum of ~1,000 results per search query
• Some job listings may not include salary information
• Detail page data (full mode) depends on the employer providing structured data
