Reed Job Scraper

Reed Jobs Scraper

Reed Jobs Scraper collects public job listings from Reed.co.uk and saves each job as one structured record. Use it to track hiring demand, compare salaries, or build a dataset of UK roles for research.

Each record can include the job title, employer, location, postcode, salary range, contract type, working pattern, skills, role category, posting dates, full description, and the direct Reed URL.

What you can collect

• Job title, employer name, employer profile link, and employer logo
• Town, county, region, country, and postcode
• Salary text, raw minimum and maximum, pay period, and annualised values
• Contract type, full-time and part-time flags, and temporary or permanent status
• Remote, hybrid, or on-site working information
• Skills, sector, role taxonomy, and breadcrumb categories
• Full job description as plain text and as paragraph HTML when Reed returns one
• Posting date, update date, and expiry date
• Result page and total result count for the search

Why use this Actor

Recruitment teams can follow which employers are hiring in a region and which skills appear most often. Analysts can compare salary ranges for the same role across cities. Job seekers can monitor new postings with a date filter. Researchers can export a repeatable dataset instead of copying listings by hand.

Searches are repeatable. The same keyword, location, and date filter produce a fresh dataset on each run, and duplicate jobs are skipped within a run.

How to use it

1. Open the Actor in Apify Console.
2. Enter a keyword such as software engineer.
3. Optionally add a location such as London.
4. Choose a posting-date window and set the maximum number of jobs.
5. Run the Actor and review the dataset.
6. Download the results or connect the dataset to another tool.

You can also paste a public Reed search URL or a Reed job URL into startUrl. When startUrl is set, the Actor uses that URL and ignores the keyword and location fields.

To search by location alone, clear the keyword field. The keyword field has a default value so a run with no input still works. If you leave the default in place and add a location, the Actor searches for that keyword in that location.

Location-only search

Clear the keyword field and set a location.

Tips

• Start with 20 results to check the query, then raise the limit.
• Use max_pages as a cost control. One page can return up to 100 jobs.
• Use a date filter for recurring monitoring runs.
• Clear the keyword field when you want a location-only search.
• Use startUrl when Reed's own filters already describe the search you need.
• Expect some fields to be empty. Reed does not publish salary, postcode, or skills for every listing.
• Schedule daily or weekly runs to follow new postings.
• Add a proxy for large runs if your connection sees rate limits.

Integrations

• Google Sheets for shared review
• Airtable for a searchable job database
• Webhooks for run notifications

FAQ

Can I search by keyword and location?

Yes. Set keyword and location. The Actor builds the matching Reed search URL for you.

Can I search by location only?

Yes. Clear the keyword field and set location. The keyword field has a default value for no-input runs, so it must be cleared before a location-only search.

Can I filter jobs by posting date?

Yes. Set posted_date to today, last3days, last7days, or last14days.

How many jobs can one run collect?

Reed exposes up to 10,000 results for one search. results_wanted caps the dataset, and max_pages caps the number of pages read.

Why are some fields empty?

Reed does not publish every field for every job. Missing salary, postcode, skills, or description values usually reflect the source listing.

Does the Actor remove duplicate jobs?

Yes. It uses the Reed job ID or job URL to skip duplicates within a run.

Does it collect full descriptions?

Yes. It reads the full description for each job when Reed returns one. If the description source is unavailable, it keeps the search result snippet.

Can I run it on a schedule?

Yes. Create an Apify schedule with the same input to collect new postings hourly, daily, or weekly.

Can I use a proxy?

Yes. Add proxy settings in proxyConfiguration. Leave it empty for a direct connection.

Is collecting Reed job data legal?

Collecting public data can be subject to laws, privacy rules, and Reed's terms. You are responsible for using the Actor lawfully and handling job data responsibly.
