## What's an Apify Actor?
Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".
## How to integrate an Actor?
If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.
- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).
For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

## Reed.co.uk UK Jobs & Salary Scraper
> Search Reed.co.uk, one of the UK's largest job boards, and export clean job data at scale: job title, employer, location, advertised salary (min and max), job type, date posted and expiry, full description, application count and links. Filter by keywords, location and distance, salary band, job type and posting recency for recruitment research, salary benchmarking and market intelligence.

Title, employer & location every job
Salary min/max & job type plus dates & applications
JSON / CSV / Excel output formats
### What you get
Each record includes the **job ID**, **job title**, **employer name** and ID, **location**, the advertised **minimum and maximum salary** with **currency**, **job type** (full-time, part-time, contract), **date posted** and **expiry date**, the **job description**, the number of **applications** received, the **Reed job URL** and the **external application URL** where present.
You only pay for real job records. Empty or failed runs are never charged.
### Setup: free Reed API key
This actor uses Reed's official Jobseeker API, which requires a **free** API key:
1. Go to **reed.co.uk/developers/jobseeker** and register for a free API key.
2. Paste that key into the **Reed API key** field in the input.
The key is stored as a secret input.
### Who is it for
| Use case | Who benefits |
|---|---|
| Recruitment research | Recruiters and agencies mapping open roles and hiring employers |
| Salary benchmarking | Analysts comparing advertised pay by role, location and job type |
| Market intelligence | Teams tracking demand, employers and application volume |
| Job aggregation | Builders feeding UK listings into their own apps and boards |
### How to use it
1. Add one or more **search keywords**. Add several to collect more jobs in one run.
2. Optionally narrow with a **location** and **distance**, a **salary band**, **job type** checkboxes, an **employer ID**, or a **posted in last N days** filter.
3. Paste your **Reed API key**, set **Max Jobs To Scrape**, and run. Export as JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull it through the Apify API.
### Frequently Asked Questions
**Do I need a paid subscription?**
No. The Reed Jobseeker API key is free to register at reed.co.uk/developers/jobseeker.
**Does it include salary?**
Yes. Each record carries the advertised minimum and maximum salary and currency when the employer provides them.
**Can I filter by job type or recency?**
Yes. Use the permanent / contract / temporary / part-time / full-time checkboxes, and the "posted in last N days" filter to keep only recent listings.
**How do I get the full job description?**
Keep "Fetch full detail per job" on to capture the complete description, the external application URL and the job type for every listing.
**How fresh is the data?**
Every record is read live at run time, so listings reflect what is on Reed at the moment of the run (see observedAt).
### Export, API and AI agents (x402 + MCP)
Export the scraped data to **JSON, CSV or Excel**, pull it as a **dataset** through the Apify **API**, or wire it into your app with **no code**. This web scraper and data extractor also works for bulk data extraction and scheduled runs.
For AI agents: this Actor is available on **x402**, Apify's agentic payment standard built with Coinbase. An AI agent can discover, pay for and run it on its own with a funded wallet and a single HTTP request: no account, no subscription, no API key and no human in the loop. It also runs as an **MCP** tool inside Claude, Cursor and other AI clients out of the box. Learn more about [x402 agentic payments on Apify](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/x402).
