Reed UK Jobs Scraper

Scrape UK job adverts from Reed.co.uk — title, recruiter, location, contract type, remote option, dates and, above all, the salary numbers.

Paste the URL from your address bar, or just type a job title. No API key, no login, no browser.

Input

Field	Meaning
startUrls	Reed search URLs, e.g. https://www.reed.co.uk/jobs/nurse-jobs-in-manchester
searchKeywords	Job titles to search instead of pasting URLs
searchLocation	Town/city/postcode applied to those keywords
maxJobsPerSearch	Adverts per search (default 100)
scrapeDescriptions	Also open each advert for its full text (default off)
proxyConfiguration	Optional

Any filter already in the URL keeps working — salaryFrom=, proximity=, perm=, contract=, partTime=, dateCreatedOffSet=, remoteWorkingOption= and the rest are passed straight through.

Output

One row per advert:

{
  "job_id": 57205630,
  "title": "Software Engineer",
  "url": "https://www.reed.co.uk/jobs/software-engineer/57205630",
  "recruiter": "Vermillion Analytics",
  "location": "London",

  "contract_type": "Permanent",
  "is_full_time": true,
  "remote_option": "Hybrid",

With scrapeDescriptions on, each row also gets description, description_html, sector, parent_sector, region, town, postcode, recruiter_type (agency or direct employer), job_age_days and breadcrumbs.

About the salary fields — please read

Reed publishes pay in three periods: per hour, per day and per annum. salary_from_per_year / salary_to_per_year annualise all three onto one scale so a £13/hour warehouse role and a £45,000 engineering role sort in the same column. The multipliers are Reed's own — 1,950 hours (37.5 h/week x 52) and 260 days (5 days/week x 52) — the same ones its detail pages use.

salary_is_advertised is the field to watch. Some advertisers publish "Competitive salary" or "Salary negotiable" instead of a figure, and for those Reed still carries an internal band that the public listing never shows. Those rows come back with salary_is_advertised: false and a salary_display of "Competitive salary" — the numbers are real, but nobody reading the advert saw them. Filter on that flag before quoting a market rate.

Paging

Reed serves 25 adverts per page and pages to the very end — a 5,896-result search really does return all 236 pages. Set maxJobsPerSearch to whatever you need; the only limit is your run timeout, and the Actor stops cleanly and keeps everything it has if it gets close to one.

Pay per event

Event	When
job	One advert from the search results
job-with-description	One advert whose own page was also opened, adding the full description and sector detail. Charged instead of job, never on top

Adverts Reed repeats across pages or searches are de-duplicated by job_id and charged once.
