For Agents
Programmatically search for jobs, get job details. Covers 2 operations with basic authentication.
Use for: I need to for jobs, I want to job details, Get the current status of Reed Job Search API resources, List all records from Reed Job Search API
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Reed Job Search API, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.
# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh
jentic register # connects your agent to your Jentic One instanceJentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.
What an agent can do with Reed Job Search API API.
Search for jobs
Get job details
Integrate Reed Job Search API into automated workflows
Query and filter Reed Job Search API records by parameters
GET STARTED
Not supported: Does not handle payments, communications, or crm — use for hr and recruiting only.
Reed.co.uk's Jobseeker API allows searching for jobs and retrieving job details from one of the UK's largest job boards. The API exposes 2 endpoints secured with basic authentication.
Monitor Reed Job Search API operational status and events
Patterns agents use Reed Job Search API API for, with concrete tasks.
★ HR and Recruiting Operations
Use the Reed Job Search API to perform hr recruiting operations programmatically. The API provides 2 endpoints covering core functionality including search for jobs, get job details.
Call GET /search to search for jobs
Data Retrieval and Monitoring
Query Reed Job Search API resources on a schedule to track changes, generate alerts, or feed downstream dashboards. Agents poll relevant endpoints, compare against previous state, and trigger actions when thresholds are crossed.
Poll the primary Reed Job Search API endpoint, compare response to last known state, and alert if changed
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call Reed Job Search API endpoints through Jentic without managing credentials directly. An agent searches for the required operation by intent, receives the matching endpoint schema, and executes the call with Jentic-managed authentication. This eliminates the need to read API documentation or handle basic tokens manually.
Search Jentic for 'search for jobs', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

/search
Search for jobs
/jobs/{jobId}
Get job details
Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.
Credential isolation
Reed Job Search API basic credentials are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault (MAXsystem). Agents receive scoped access tokens — raw secrets never enter the agent context.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search by intent (e.g., 'search for jobs') and Jentic returns the matching Reed Job Search API operation with its input schema, so the agent can call the right endpoint without browsing docs.
Time to first call
Direct Reed Job Search API integration: 1-3 days for auth handling, response parsing, and error cases. Through Jentic: under 1 hour — search, load schema, execute.

Specific to using Reed Job Search API API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Reed Job Search API use?
The Reed Job Search API uses HTTP Basic authentication with username and password. Through Jentic, these credentials are stored encrypted in the MAXsystem vault and injected at execution time, so raw secrets never enter the agent context.
Can I search for jobs with the Reed Job Search API?
Yes. Use the GET /search endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the Reed Job Search API?
Rate limits are not specified in the OpenAPI spec. Check the vendor documentation for current limits. Through Jentic, rate limiting is handled automatically with retry logic built into the execution layer.
How do I search for jobs through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up, then search for 'search for jobs'. Jentic returns the matching Reed Job Search API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call — credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the Reed Job Search API have?
The Reed Job Search API exposes 2 endpoints covering jobs operations.
