Adzuna vs Reed
Adzuna
Adzuna's job-search API exposes its aggregated listings, salary histograms, and regional/company vacancy trends across dozens of countries. Access requires a free app_id/app_key pair from its developer portal, with results returned as JSON, JSONP, or XML.
Reed
Reed's Jobseeker API searches the UK's reed.co.uk job listings by keyword, location, salary band, and contract type, returning employer and description data for each match. Access needs a free registered API key sent as the HTTP Basic-auth username, confirmed live by a genuine 401 challenge that also echoed a wildcard CORS header back.
