Read full description

A web scraper that extracts live UK job listings from Reed.co.uk and returns structured, searchable job data for keyword- and location-based queries. Core outputs include job title and employer (with employer profile link), location details (city/region/country and remote/hybrid/on-site status), parsed salary ranges with numeric min/max and salary text, standardized job-type classification (permanent/temporary/contract/full-time/part-time), full job descriptions available in HTML and plain text, posting and last-updated dates, sector/industry tags, and listing flags (featured, easy-apply). The connector supports filtering by keywords, location, job type, salary range and posting date, works without login, and exposes pagination/continuation support to retrieve large result sets across runs.
