What does Reed.co.uk Jobs Scraper do?

Reed.co.uk Jobs Scraper extracts job listings from Reed.co.uk, one of the UK's largest job boards - title, company, salary, location, job type, full description, and required skills. Give it a search term and it scrapes the results directly via HTTP requests, no browser needed. Running it on the Apify platform gets you scheduling, API access to results, and monitoring out of the box.

Why use Reed.co.uk Jobs Scraper?

• Track UK job postings and salary ranges for a role without manually browsing Reed.
• Feed job market data into research, recruiting, or competitor-analysis tools.
• Monitor new postings for a search term over time by scheduling recurring runs.

Data table

Field	Description

postedDate	When the job was posted
salary, location, jobType	Key listing details
description	Full job description text

Cost estimation

Each job requires two lightweight HTTP requests (search result page + job detail page), no browser rendering - so this is one of the cheaper Actors to run. Use Max items to scope smaller, cheaper runs.

Tips

• Reed was reachable via plain HTTP requests in testing (no CAPTCHA or bot challenge encountered), so a proxy isn't required for typical use - but enabling one is recommended for larger or repeated runs to reduce the chance of rate limiting.
• Use work_type to filter results without needing separate runs per employment type.
