Reed vs The Muse

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.

The Muse's public API returns its job listings and company profiles — culture content, photos, and open roles per employer — the same data powering its own site and widgets. Anyone can call it for light testing; registering a free app key raises the rate limit and is required for production use.
