Reed Jobs Scraper

💼 Reed Jobs Scraper

Scrape job listings from reed.co.uk, one of the UK's largest job boards, by keyword, location and the site's own filters, or straight from Reed search and job URLs. Every job comes with a parsed salary (min, max, period and yearly figures), the recruiter, location down to town, region and postcode, contract type, sector, dates and the full description. No login, no browser, and full details are included in one low per-job price.

✨ Why use Reed Jobs Scraper?

💰 Pricing

You pay $0.40 per 1,000 jobs ($0.0004 per job), with the full details included, plus a small amount of platform usage (compute and proxy traffic).

• 1,000 jobs with full details ≈ $0.40 in job fees plus less than a cent of usage (a 1,000-job test run used about $0.005).
• Turning full details off does not change the per-job price; it only makes very large runs faster.
• You are only charged for jobs that are saved. Set a maximum charge on the run and the scraper stops cleanly when it is reached.

❓ FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Reed? The scraper reads only public job adverts that anyone can see without an account. Job adverts can name recruiters or contacts, so make sure your use of the data follows UK GDPR and Reed's terms.

Do I need a Reed account, API key or proxy? No. Datacenter proxies are used by default and work well. Switch to residential only if your runs get blocked.

How many jobs can I get? Reed lists at most 10,000 results per search. Set Max jobs per search to 0 and larger searches (for example all UK jobs) are read sector by sector, so you can go beyond that.

Why is a field empty? Fields are empty when Reed doesn't publish them for that job, for example the postcode, skills or a salary the employer hides. Salary amounts of 0 are returned as empty.

Can I schedule it or use the API? Yes. Schedule runs (e.g. daily with Date posted = Today) and read the results through the API, webhooks or integrations.

Can I scrape a specific recruiter's jobs? Yes: paste the recruiter's Reed jobs page (e.g. https://www.reed.co.uk/jobs/<recruiter>/p12345) into Search or job URLs.

⚠️ Limits

• UK jobs on reed.co.uk only; courses and other Reed sections are not covered.
• The number of applications per job is not shown on public pages, so it is not included.
• At most 10,000 jobs per search, or per sector when a large search is split by sector.
• A search URL's filters are read from the page; if the page can't be loaded, they are rebuilt from the URL, which covers the common filters.
• No built-in alerts: use schedules and integrations to get notified about new jobs.
