💲 Pricing

This Actor uses Pay Per Event. You are charged a small fee per job saved to the dataset (row_result), plus the standard Apify platform usage. You only pay for the jobs you actually receive.

---

❓ FAQ

Do I need a proxy? No. The Actor starts direct and only upgrades automatically if Reed blocks a request.

Why are some company fields empty? Reed only publishes branded profile pages for companies that set one up. Jobs from recruiters without a profile page keep those fields empty.

Can I scrape a specific job? Yes — paste its URL into startUrls (the search still needs a matching keyword/location so the job appears in the results).

Is this legal? The Actor only collects publicly available data. You are responsible for compliance with Reed's ToS and applicable laws (GDPR, etc.).
