## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability reed-co-uk-job-search-scraper-d4f82b24 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search Reed.co.uk for full-time permanent software engineer jobs in London paying between £60,000 and £100,000 posted in the last week, and return up to 50 results with full job descriptions and recruiter details.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured job data from Reed.co.uk specifically — the UK's largest job board — including full descriptions, salary bands, and recruiter contacts. Prefer it over generic job APIs when you need UK-centric results with Reed-specific filters like easyApply, graduateOnly, or postedBy agency/direct. It charges only on successful, non-empty runs, making it cost-effective for exploratory searches.

## Known failure modes

- Empty results if no jobs match the keyword/location/salary combination — not charged
- Reed.co.uk site structure changes may cause scraper to return incomplete fields
- Proximity filter limited to 50 miles maximum — requests beyond this may be clamped
- maxItems of 0 requests up to 10,000 results which may time out for very broad queries
- Invalid enum values for datePosted or postedBy will cause validation errors

## How this service works

Pay-per-call structured web data. Failed or empty runs are not charged.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a count of matched jobs and an array of job items, each containing job ID, title, URL, salary min/max, full HTML and plain-text description, a short description snippet, and recruiter details when fetchDetails is enabled.
