Reed Jobs Scraper

Scrape Reed jobs data from reed.co.uk and get clean rows with the job title, employer, location, contract type and advertised pay. Run it from the Apify console or the Apify API. Recruiters, job-board aggregators and labour-market analysts use it to follow vacancies, pay and hiring demand by specialism.

🔎 What does Reed Jobs Scraper do?

• Searches Reed by keyword, by city, or from a Reed search or offer URL you paste.
• Narrows results by contract type, work type, experience and a "with salary only" switch.
• Returns title, company, locations, contract types, salaries, categories and dates for each job.
• Reads each job's own page when you switch on full details: description, skills, benefits and company data.
• Gives pay as numbers: minimum, maximum, currency and period.

⭐ Why this one

1️⃣ One schema across job portals. All our job actors share one output schema and one input schema. Build your pipeline once: our other job actors (Nofluffjobs, Aplikuj, Bluelionjob, Bulldogjob, Hollylist, Jobs-cz, Just Join IT, Pracuj, RocketJobs.pl, Skillshot, theprotocol.it) take the same input and return the same fields, so adding a portal means changing the actor name, not your code.

• Two clear prices. A job result costs $0.40 per 1,000. Full details add $1.50 per 1,000 jobs whose page is read.
• Below the market median. The median result price among 30 competing Pay-Per-Event actors is $2.10 per 1,000.
• Pay as structured numbers. Each salary has min, max, currency and period, not just text.
• Filters are checked again on the rows. The site narrows the search, then the rows are checked against your filters.
• Cheaper listing mode. With full details off, you get listing-level data only.

Data

This actor returns only what the site shows publicly at run time. We don't store or keep that data and are not its controller — you decide how you use it.

This actor is not affiliated with or endorsed by Reed. It reads public job pages on reed.co.uk.

🤖 Use with AI agents (MCP)

AI assistants (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor…) can run this actor through Apify's MCP server. Connect the server in your assistant, then ask, for example:

• Ask an AI agent to run it: see Use with AI agents (MCP).

⚙️ Input

This example searches for Python jobs in London:

{
  "searchQueries": ["python"],
  "locations": ["London"],
  "maxResults": 50,
  "extractFullDetails": false
}

Field	Default	Notes
maxResults	50	Maximum number of offers returned, in total. Free plan Apify users get at most 1,000 offers per run.
startUrls	empty	A listing/search URL is read as that listing, a specific offer URL is read directly. The filters below still apply. searchQueries is not applied when start URLs are given (a warning says so).
searchQueries	python in the form	Keywords to search for, one search per line (a technology or a job title).
locations	empty	Only offers in these cities, written as normal city names; accents and case do not matter. A city the portal does not know gives a warning and no search for it.
categories	empty	Only offers in these categories: backend, frontend, fullstack, mobile, devops, data, ai-ml, testing, security, it-admin, support, embedded, gamedev, erp, architecture, project-management, product, ux-ui, business-analysis, sales, marketing, hr, finance, customer-service, engineering, production, logistics, legal, administration, consulting, education, healthcare, construction, hospitality.
contractTypes	empty	Only offers that allow one of these contracts: employment, b2b, mandate, specific-task, internship.
workType	empty	Only offers with one of these work types: remote, hybrid, onsite, mobile.
experience	empty	Only offers for these experience levels: intern, junior, mid, senior, expert, lead, manager, executive.
withSalaryOnly	off	Only offers that show a salary.
extractFullDetails	off	Fetch each offer's own page and return the full data: the description, skills, benefits, languages, company details. Off: listing-level data only, cheaper.
maxConcurrency	1	Maximum number of searches/details processed in parallel (1 to 10).
maxRequestsPerMinute	60	Maximum HTTP request rate, for the whole run.
proxyConfiguration	no proxy	Proxy settings, especially useful when many detail pages are requested.
maxRequestRetries	2	Number of retries after a failed HTTP request (0 to 10).

Reed has no match for some values, and those are ignored with a warning: the contractTypes values b2b, mandate, specific-task and internship (only a permanent job counts as employment), the workType value mobile, every experience value except junior, and any categories value Reed has no category for.

📦 Output: Reed jobs data

Each row is one job offer. This row comes from a run on one offer URL (long text shortened):

{
  "source": "reed",
  "id": "57558140",
  "slug": "temporary-concierge",
  "url": "https://www.reed.co.uk/jobs/temporary-concierge/57558140",
  "title": "Temporary Concierge",
  "company": { "name": "PMR" },
  "locations": [{ "city": "London", "region": "South East England", "countryCode": "GB" }],
  "workType": [{ "type": "onsite", "remotePercent": 0, "remoteCountries": [] }],
  "categories": [{ "value": "hospitality", "original": "Hospitality & Catering" }],
  "contractTypes": [{ "value": "other", "original": "Temporary", "source": "portal" }],
  "workTime": "part-time",
  "salaries": [
    { "currency": "GBP", "min": 2184, "max": 2486, "period": "month", "isOriginal": false },
    { "currency": "GBP", "min": 13, "max": 14.8, "period": "hour", "isOriginal": true }
  ],
  "skills": [{ "name": "Communication Skills", "source": "portal" }],
  "languages": { "offer": "en" },
  "description": { "text": "PMR recruits for high end residential blocks across various locations in London..." },
  "dates": { "posted": "2026-11-11", "expires": "2026-12-23", "scraped": "2026-11-12T22:50:47Z" },
  "extensions": { "postedBy": "agency", "easyApply": true }
}

Pay quoted per hour is also given as a monthly figure; the item marked isOriginal is the pay as Reed wrote it. grossNet was empty in all 10 sample rows. Reed's Contract and Temporary jobs get the value other in contractTypes, with Reed's own word in original.

Missing data is null, never a guess.

Run status. After each run, open the run's key-value store (Storage tab) to see how it went:

• RUN_HEALTH: ok, or degraded with the reason (no rows, a failed request, a warning, or a row that broke a data rule).
• RUN_SUMMARY: the run's numbers: rows, requests, retries, failed requests, warnings and billed events.

💰 Pricing (Pay-Per-Event)

Event	Price	Trigger
Job result (job-scraped)	$0.40 per 1,000	One job offer returned by the Actor.
Job details (job-details-scraped)	$1.50 per 1,000	Additional charge for a job offer whose detail page was read.

There is no start fee. With full details off, you pay for job results only. A run on an offer URL reads that offer's page, so it is charged for job details as well.

Free plan: each run returns up to 1,000 results.

🩺 If a run fails

The run health (the RUN_HEALTH record, RUN_SUMMARY and the last line of the log) names the cause, for example site down: list request answered 500 x3. Find that start of the message in the table.

Error in the log / run health	What it means	What you do
site down: <request> answered 500, 502-504, 520-526	The site is offline or has a fault. The actor waits longer between tries, then stops the run.	Try again later.
blocked: <request> answered 401, 403, 1020 or a captcha page	The site refused the request or showed a captcha page.	The actor already retries once through the Apify proxy. If it still fails, turn on the Apify proxy in the input (use the RESIDENTIAL group if it is already on).
rate limited: <request> answered 429	The site asks for fewer requests. The actor waits and slows down by itself.	If it keeps happening, lower maxRequestsPerMinute.
gone: <request> answered 404, 410	The page or offer was removed. The actor skips it and it is not charged.	Nothing; this is normal.
network error: <request> failed with timeout (or connection error, DNS error)	A timeout or a broken connection. The actor retries with a pause.	Try again later.
wrong answer: <request> returned HTML instead of JSON (or an empty body)	The site answered with a page that is not data (HTML instead of JSON, an empty body). The site has probably changed.	Report it in the Issues tab; we fix it.

❓ FAQ

How many jobs can I scrape per run?

Set maxResults; the default is 50. A value of 0 removes the cap, and the run timeout still applies. On the free plan a run returns up to 1,000 results.

How do I export Reed jobs to Excel or CSV?

Run the actor, open the Output tab and pick Excel or CSV in the export options. JSON, XML and HTML are there too, and the Apify API returns the same data.

Does it return salary data?

Each salary has min, max, currency and period. Turn on withSalaryOnly to keep only offers that show a salary.

Can I combine it with other portals?

Yes. All our job actors share one output schema and one input schema, so rows from different portals fit one table. See the list below.
