Reed.co.uk Jobs Scraper: UK jobs, salaries and full details

Scrape Reed.co.uk, one of the UK's biggest job boards, by keyword and location. Every job comes with the title, company, whether it was posted by an employer or a recruitment agency, salary range with period, location and county, contract type (permanent, contract, temporary), full or part time, remote/hybrid/on-site, posted and closing dates. With full details on (the default) you also get the full description, region and postcode district, Reed's sector, and Reed's yearly equivalent of day and hourly rates. Filter by salary, contract, hours, date posted, workplace, employer or agency, and more. No login, no cookies, no Reed account, no API key.

How to use it

1. Enter one or more keywords, e.g. data analyst, nurse, c# developer.
2. Optionally enter a location: a UK town, city, county or postcode such as Manchester, Kent or SW1A. Add more under More locations. Leave it empty to search the whole UK.
3. Set Max jobs and any filters, then run.

Each keyword is searched in each location. Max jobs is the total for the run, shared fairly between your searches.

FAQ

Do I need a Reed account, an API key, cookies or a login? No. The scraper reads the same public search and job pages any visitor sees. Reed's official API needs a key; this scraper doesn't.

Why do some jobs have no salary amount? When an employer chooses "Competitive salary" or "Salary negotiable", Reed hides the amount. You get that text in salaryText, and salaryMin/salaryMax stay empty, exactly as on Reed. Tick Only jobs that show a salary to skip them.

What is "Include full job details"? It opens each job page to add the full description, region, postcode district, sector and Reed's yearly salary equivalent. It's on by default. Turn it off when the search-result data is enough: runs get faster and cheaper.

How many jobs can I get? Reed shows 25 jobs per results page, and the scraper pages through all of them. Set Max jobs to 0 to get everything your searches find. Several keywords or locations are searched one after another, and a job found twice is saved once.

Why was a location skipped? If Reed doesn't recognise a place, it returns nothing for it. The scraper skips that search, doesn't charge for it, and says so in the run's status message. Use a UK town, city, county or postcode.

Some results are training courses, not jobs. Reed lists some training-course adverts among jobs. They're flagged with isTrainingCourse: true, and Hide training-course adverts removes them from the search.

Which proxy should I use? Keep the default (Apify Proxy, datacenter). It comes with every Apify plan, including the free one. If Reed refuses datacenter IPs for a while, the run switches to residential proxies when your account has them, and carries on without them when it doesn't.

What does a run cost? You pay per job saved, per job page read for full details, per search, and a small fee per run. See the Pricing tab. Jobs that are skipped or filtered out are never charged, and a location Reed doesn't recognise isn't charged as a search.

Is it legal to scrape Reed.co.uk? This Actor only collects publicly available data: job postings that anyone can see on Reed without an account, such as the job title, employer, location, salary and description. Collecting publicly available data is generally legal, but you're responsible for how you use it. Job postings describe roles, not people, but an advert written by a recruitment agency can mention a consultant by name; the scraper removes personal e-mail addresses and phone numbers from descriptions. You must follow privacy laws such as UK GDPR, GDPR, PIPEDA and CCPA, as well as Reed's terms. If you're unsure, check with a lawyer. More on this: Is web scraping legal?

Does it access any private data? No. Everything comes from pages Reed shows to any visitor without logging in. It never uses a login, never touches candidate profiles, CVs or applications, and follows Reed's robots.txt.
