API.SH vs the official Reed API

Reed.co.uk offers a free Jobseeker API: you register on the Reed developer site for a key and call job search and job details with Basic authentication. API.SH is an alternative when you want the filters from the website's result pages, recruiter profiles with their live jobs, and the same JSON shape as other job boards under one key.

Instead of maintaining a Reed.co.uk scraper or running an Apify actor, call one API.SH endpoint with a fixed price per call.

Reed API questions

What Reed.co.uk data can I get?+

Job search with the site's filters and facet counts (/reed/v1/search), one job ad with recruiter, full location, salary, contract, sector, skills and description (/reed/v1/job), and a recruiter's profile with its live jobs (/reed/v1/company).

How much does the Reed API cost?+

Every Reed endpoint costs 1 credit per call. On a monthly plan 1,000 credits cost $1 (Starter is $50/month for 50,000 credits). Pay-as-you-go is $2 per 1,000 credits, with top-ups from $15 that never expire.

Is there a free trial?+

Yes. Every account gets 1,000 free credits every month. That is 1,000 calls to /reed/v1/company at 1 credit each.

Is there an official Reed API?+

Yes. Reed.co.uk has a free Jobseeker API that needs a key from its developer site. API.SH needs no Reed key and adds the website's own filters, such as visa sponsorship, easy apply and remote or hybrid, plus recruiter profile pages.

Do I need a Reed account or login?+

No. API.SH reads public Reed.co.uk pages only. No endpoint uses a login, cookies or anyone's account, and it does not apply to jobs.

Can I search for visa sponsorship jobs on Reed?+

Yes. Set visa_sponsorship on /reed/v1/search and combine it with keyword, location, radius, salary and sector.

Can I use it from Python?+

Yes. Send a GET request with your API.SH key using requests or the API.SH Python SDK. There is no Basic auth set-up and the response is the same JSON shape as every API.SH platform.

How do I get started?+

1. Sign up at api.sh. 2. Copy your API key. 3. Call /reed/v1/search with q and location. Every parameter is in the docs at https://api.sh/docs. You can also use the JS or Python SDK, Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, n8n or the MCP server at https://api.sh/mcp.
