Frequently asked questions
Is it legal to scrape Reed?
Collecting publicly available Reed data such as job titles, salary ranges and employer names is lawful in many jurisdictions, but the rules depend on your country, the data you collect and how you use it. Some of it can be personal data, so follow the privacy rules that apply to you. ScrapeUnblocker returns the public page; what you collect and how you use it is your responsibility.
How do I scrape Reed without getting blocked?
Reed uses bot detection and rate limiting. ScrapeUnblocker renders the page in a real browser, rotates residential and ISP exits and handles challenges, so you get the page a visitor sees rather than a block page. In ScrapeUnblocker's benchmark it returned real content on 100% of 1,000 calls, about 2.7s per call.
What Reed data can I get?
Reed search pages give you each role's job title, employer and location, the salary range and pay period, contract type and remote option, posting date and application deadline, a job description snippet and the apply URL. Take the rendered HTML, or pass parsed_data=true for structured JSON.
Do I need a Reed API or account?
No. ScrapeUnblocker returns the public Reed page as HTML, or structured JSON with parsed_data=true, so you do not need a Reed API account. Send a Reed job search URL to /getPageSource with your ScrapeUnblocker key. Use steps for clicks, typing or scrolling when a page needs them.
Can I monitor Reed at scale?
Yes. Calls run in parallel up to your plan's concurrency limit: 20 to 100 concurrent requests on Pay as you go, Starter and Pro, and 200 to 400 on Business, Scale and Ultimate. Send many role searches at once to follow UK job postings, salaries and application deadlines over time.
How much does it cost to scrape Reed?
Each Reed request costs 1 credit, from EUR 1.00 per 1,000 on pay as you go to about EUR 0.55 per 1,000 on the Ultimate plan. Delivered pages are billed, including a site's own 404 or 410 page. A 403 block, a timeout, a 523 origin unreachable, a 429 and errors on ScrapeUnblocker's side are not billed. The free trial includes 500 requests, no card.
