## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Workday HQ Intent Signals Scraper

> **Stop paying for 10,000 retail and warehouse listings. Get only the HQ & IT roles that actually buy B2B software.**

This [Apify Actor](https://apify.com) scrapes corporate Workday career portals and delivers **clean, LLM-ready JSON** containing only corporate, technology, and decision-maker job openings. No cashiers. No warehouse operators. No interns. Just high-intent B2B buying signals.

---

### 🎯 Why This Exists

Most job scrapers give you *everything* — 90% of which is worthless for B2B SaaS prospecting. This Actor is purpose-built for SDRs and revenue teams:

| What Others Deliver | What We Deliver |
|---|---|
| 10,000+ retail/blue-collar jobs | Only HQ, IT, and corporate roles |
| Bloated HTML descriptions | Clean 400-char plain-text summaries |
| No requisition IDs | `requisition_id` extracted for hyper-personalized outreach |
| No intent classification | `intent_category` — Data & AI, Revenue, Engineering, Product, Marketing, General |
| One-size-fits-all | Configurable filters: max age, HQ-only, English-only |

---

### 🧠 How It Works

1. **API Interception** via Playwright — intercepts the internal Workday search JSON API (no fragile DOM scraping).
2. **Smart Filtering** — excludes `cashier|warehouse|driver|intern|store|retail|clerk|assistant|worker|operator|mechanic|technician|student`.
3. **Requisition ID Extraction** — pulls the `R234160`-style ID from Workday's API response.
4. **Intent Classification** — categorizes each role into Data & AI, Revenue, Engineering, Product, Marketing, or General.
5. **Clean Output** — strips HTML to 400-char plain-text summaries, ready to paste into ChatGPT or your outreach tool.

---

### 📦 Output Schema

Each record pushed to the Apify dataset:

```json
{
  "company_name": "sysco",
  "requisition_id": "R234160",
  "job_title": "Senior Data Engineer",
  "location": "Houston, TX",
  "days_active": 3,
  "intent_category": "Data & AI",
  "job_summary_clean": "We are looking for a Senior Data Engineer to design and build scalable data pipelines...",
  "apply_url": "https://sysco.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/syscocareers/job/Houston-TX/Senior-Data-Engineer_R234160"
}
````

Clean, flat, no nested objects. Perfect for LLM ingestion or direct upload to your CRM.

### ⚙️ Input Configuration

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `company_workday_urls` | Array\<String> | *(required)* | Workday career portal URLs to scrape |
| `max_days_old` | Integer | `7` | Skip jobs older than N days |
| `hq_roles_only` | Boolean | `true` | Filter out retail, warehouse, intern, and blue-collar roles |
| `english_only` | Boolean | `true` | Include only English-language job postings |

**Example input:**

```json
{
  "company_workday_urls": [
    "https://sysco.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/syscocareers",
    "https://coca-cola.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/cocacola"
  ],
  "max_days_old": 14,
  "hq_roles_only": true,
  "english_only": true
}
```

***

### 🚀 Use Cases

- **SDR Prospecting** — Find companies hiring for Data, AI, or Revenue roles → trigger personalized outreach.
- **Intent Monitoring** — Run weekly to detect spikes in engineering or product hiring (expansion signal).
- **Competitive Intel** — Track which competitors are building out specific teams.
- **Account Prioritization** — Rank accounts by recency and volume of corporate openings.

***

### 🐳 Running Locally

```bash
## Install dependencies
npm install

## Run with tsx (dev mode)
npm start

## Build for production
npm run build
```

For Apify platform deployment, the Dockerfile uses `apify/actor-node-playwright-chrome:20` — all browsers and dependencies are pre-installed.

***

### 🛡️ Built for Scale

- **Playwright + Chromium** for robust SPA rendering and API interception
- **Automatic pagination** through Workday's internal search API
- **Apify proxy integration** to avoid IP rate-limiting
- **TypeScript** — fully typed, no guesswork

***

**Stop scraping noise. Start scraping signals.**
