Only one of employerId and employerProfileId can be set. Profile Id will be selected over Employer Id. Not all employers have a profile and therefore do not have a profile id.

Jobs - Search - Returns

List of jobs matching the criteria. Each job contains the following information:

Job Id
Employer Id
Employer Name
Employer Profile Id
Job Title
Description
Location Name
Minimum Salary
Maximum Salary

Notes:

If the job salary has been set as hidden on reed.co.uk, none of the salary information will show.

If a location is used which could apply to more than one place the best match is used for the search and a list of alternatives is provided.

Jobs - Search - Implementation

Use the following url structure to access the API::

https://www.reed.co.uk/api/{versionnumber}/search?keywords={keywords}&loc ationName={locationName}&employerId={employerId}&distanceFromLocation={distance in miles}

Follow this structure for each parameter you wish to search with.

If you do not want to use any of these parameters simply leave them out. e.g

https://www.reed.co.uk/api/1.0/search?keywords=accountant&location=london&employerid=123&distancefromlocation=15

If no jobs match the search parameters an empty list will be returned. If there is more than one location match, these will also be returned.
