Myworkdayjobs Scraper — Extract Workday Job Postings From Any Company Career Page

Scrape job postings from any company's Workday ATS career board (*.myworkdayjobs.com) — NVIDIA, Salesforce, Adobe, Cisco, Intel, Pfizer, Mastercard, Visa, Disney, Target, Boeing and thousands more — into 18 structured fields per job: title, location, requisition ID, posting date, department, workplace type, time type, full HTML description, plain-text description and direct apply URL. Built for job posting aggregation, hiring signals and job market research, it reads each board's public Workday CXS JSON endpoint over plain HTTP — no browser, no login — and accepts many company boards in a single bulk run.

Use Cases: Job Posting Aggregation, Hiring Signals & Talent Market Intelligence

• Job posting aggregation — feed hundreds of company boards into one job postings database or job aggregator, one normalized row per posting.
• Hiring signals & job lead generation — track when target accounts open new requisitions (reqId + postedDate) as B2B hiring-intent signals.
• Job market research & talent market intelligence — analyze where, when and what companies are hiring: department, location, country, workplace type, time type.
• Monitor new job postings — schedule recurring runs against specific career pages and get alerted when listings appear or close.
• Get all jobs at one company (bulk export) — pull every open role off any Workday careers site into CSV, Excel or JSON in one run.
• Find companies hiring, by country or region — every row carries country, location, company and postedDate, so postings slice cleanly by market.

How The Myworkdayjobs Scraper Works: Plain HTTP, No Browser

Workday career sites are JavaScript single-page apps — the raw HTML is an empty <div id="root">. Every board is backed by Workday's CXS internal JSON API, the same endpoint the site's own frontend calls. This actor talks to that API directly with plain HTTP (CheerioCrawler, no browser): a paginated list request returns jobs 20 at a time, then one detail request per job returns the full record — no page rendering, no DOM parsing. The full endpoint contract is documented below.

Input Parameters: Board URLs, Job Limits, Concurrency & Proxy

Field	Type	Required	Default	Notes
boards	array	Yes	—	One or more Workday careers URLs, min. 1 item, e.g. https://nvidia.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite. Locale-prefixed URLs (/en-US/...) work; the path after the domain is the site ID.
searchText	string	No	""	Keyword filter, same behavior as the careers-page search box. Empty string returns all jobs.
maxJobsPerBoard	integer	No	0	Maximum jobs to scrape from each board. 0 = all jobs on the board.
maxItems	integer	No	0	Maximum total jobs across all boards. 0 = unlimited — free Apify users are capped at 10 jobs.
includeDetails	boolean	No	true	true fetches the full detail record per job (HTML description, posting date, time type, apply URL). false = list-only mode, one request per 20 jobs.
maxConcurrency	integer	No	5	Parallel requests, range 1–20. Keep 2–5 on large boards to avoid rate limiting.
proxy	object	No	{"useApifyProxy": false}	Standard Apify proxy picker. Off by default — the CXS API is usually reachable directly.

Output Fields: 18 Workday Job Posting Fields Per Row

One dataset row per job:

Field	What it contains
title	Job title.
location	Primary location text.
reqId	Job requisition ID (e.g. JR2025645) — a stable per-posting key.
postedDate	ISO posting date (the detail record's startDate).
postedOn	Relative posting label from the board.
endDate	ISO valid-through date.
department	Department — populated only when the board's detail record exposes it; otherwise null.
workplaceType	Remote / hybrid / on-site — populated only when the board exposes it; otherwise null.
timeType	Full time / Part time — always present.
country	Country descriptor.
descriptionHtml	Full job description as HTML.
descriptionText	Full job description as plain text.
applyUrl	Direct apply URL.
company	Company/tenant name.
tenant	Workday tenant.
site	Workday job posting site ID.
boardUrl	Careers board URL the row came from.
scrapedAt	ISO timestamp of the scrape.

Note on department and workplaceType: Workday does not expose these fields uniformly — they are populated when the board's detail record includes them (many boards do); otherwise they are null. timeType (Full time / Part time) is always present.

The dataset ships with an Overview view rendering a table of title, location, reqId, postedDate, department, workplaceType and applyUrl (as a clickable link). The output schema exposes a single results field resolving to the default dataset's /items URL, so consumers read results from the dataset.

How The Workday CXS API Works: The Documented /wday/cxs Bypass

Two endpoints, both under https://{host}/wday/cxs/{tenant}/{site}/:

Step	Endpoint	Method	Purpose
List	{origin}/wday/cxs/{tenant}/{site}/jobs	POST	Paginated job list. Body: {"appliedFacets":{},"limit":20,"offset":N,"searchText":""}. Returns total + jobPostings[] with title, externalPath, locationsText, postedOn, bulletFields (req ID).
Detail	{origin}/wday/cxs/{tenant}/{site}{externalPath}	GET	Full record per job. Header Accept: application/json. Returns jobPostingInfo with jobDescription (full HTML), jobReqId, location, country, startDate (real ISO posting date), endDate, timeType, externalUrl (apply URL).

Host, tenant and site come straight from the careers URL:

https://nvidia.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite
        └─host─┘   └─tenant─┘   └──────site──────┘

Locale-prefixed URLs (/en-US/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite) are handled automatically.

Why this extraction path was chosen over the alternatives:

• Embedded JSON blobs (__NEXT_DATA__ etc.): not present — Workday serves an empty SPA shell.
• HTML scraping: the job description is only rendered client-side; the static HTML only carries a plain-text application/ld+json summary (no HTML description, no department).
• Browser rendering: unnecessary — the CXS API returns everything the UI shows, including the full HTML description, in one request per job.

Export Workday Jobs To CSV, JSON Or Excel

Every run lands as one row per job in an Apify dataset:

• Apify Console → dataset → Export → JSON, CSV, Excel (or XML, HTML).
• Apify API → GET /v2/datasets/{datasetId}/items?format=csv (or json).
• Spreadsheet-ready — descriptionText is plain text (no HTML to strip); the core fields map cleanly to columns.
• Diffable snapshots — reqId is stable per posting, endDate shows when a posting lapses, scrapedAt timestamps the run — so successive exports can be diffed.

Monitor New Job Postings On Any Workday Board With Scheduled Runs

• Schedule it — a daily or weekly schedule in the Apify Console produces a fresh dataset snapshot per run; attach a webhook on run success (or per dataset item) to push new postings into Slack, a database, a CRM or Zapier/Make.
• Cheap change detection — set includeDetails: false for monitoring runs: one request per 20 jobs still returns title, location, reqId and postedOn, enough to spot newly opened roles.

Workday Scraping Limits: 10,000-Result Search Cap, Rate Limits & Safety Caps

Cost & limits

• No browser, no residential proxies required for the API surface — runs are cheap (256 MB, plain HTTP; max memory 512 MB).
• Hard safety caps are built in: maxRequestsPerCrawl (50,000 absolute), maxRequestRetries (3), per-request timeout (60 s), and item caps from the input.
• Free Apify users get a 10-job preview; paid users get full runs.
• Workday caps a single search query at 10,000 results; boards larger than that need facet filtering (contact the author if you need this).

Known limitations & troubleshooting

• department / workplaceType depend on the board's data model (see Output Fields) — null is expected data, not a failed scrape.
• Some tenants use myworkdaysite.com instead of myworkdayjobs.com — the same CXS API applies; paste the site URL as-is.
• A small number of boards rate-limit aggressive pagination; keep maxConcurrency at 2–5 for large boards.
• A run returning only a fraction of jobs usually means an input cap truncated it or the query hit Workday's 10,000-result ceiling — not a pagination bug.

Run Myworkdayjobs Scraper From The Apify API, Console Or Schedule

Console: open the actor, paste the input JSON, press Run. CLI (two boards, bounded):

apify call myworkdayjobs-scraper --input='{
  "boards": [
    "https://nvidia.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite",
    "https://salesforce.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/External_Careers"
  ],
  "maxJobsPerBoard": 100,
  "maxItems": 200,
  "includeDetails": true
}'

REST API (one-shot, returns the dataset directly):

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/ahmed_jasarevic~myworkdayjobs-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"boards":["https://nvidia.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite"],"maxJobsPerBoard":50}'

The actor ID Oqmrfd9TuG6EX0AYy replaces the name in any endpoint. For longer runs, POST .../v2/acts/.../runs, poll the run, then read https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/YOUR_DATASET_ID/items?format=json. Recurring monitoring is configured in the Schedules tab.

Integrations & Automation: Apify API, Webhooks, Zapier, Make & Schedules

• Apify API — start runs and read results from any backend, as shown above; Python and JavaScript SDKs wrap the same endpoints.
• Webhooks — fire on run success (or per dataset item added) to push results into your database, CRM or Slack channel.
• Zapier / Make — the Apify apps on both platforms trigger when a run finishes, so new Workday postings can become rows in Google Sheets or Airtable with no code.
• Recommended cadence — daily for hiring-signal and job-lead monitoring, weekly for job market research and hiring trend analysis, hourly only for live job alerts.

FAQ: Workday Jobs API, CSV Export, Pagination Limits & Alternatives

Is there an official API for Workday job postings?

Workday offers platform APIs to its enterprise customers, but there is no public, documented job-postings API for arbitrary companies' career sites. What every *.myworkdayjobs.com board exposes is the browser-facing CXS JSON endpoint (/wday/cxs/{tenant}/{site}/jobs) that its own frontend calls — undocumented for public consumption, identical across thousands of tenants, and the endpoint this actor uses. Third-party "Workday jobs API" pages (parse.bot, JobsPipe, fantastic.jobs docs) exist because of that gap.

Why use this actor instead of the official API?

Because the official route does not exist for arbitrary boards (see above). Against building the calls yourself, this actor adds: speed and cost (JSON in, JSON out — no page rendering, no DOM parsing, 256 MB plain-HTTP runs), stability (the API shape is identical across thousands of tenants), anti-bot resistance (not behind the Cloudflare/Akamai wall that guards the HTML pages), bulk mode across many boards, one fixed 18-field schema — plus datasets, schedules, webhooks and exports.

What are the alternatives to this actor?

• Other Store actors for the same source — see Related Actors: two bovi Workday scrapers, johnisanerd's Workday careers API, plus a Greenhouse/Lever/Workday multi-ATS actor and a hiring-signals actor.
• Multi-ATS scrapers — one run across Greenhouse, Lever, iCIMS and Workday if your company list is not Workday-only.
• DIY — call the two /wday/cxs endpoints directly (full contract above); free, but you build pagination, retries, scheduling and normalization yourself.
• Technical fallbacks — embedded JSON blobs are absent, plain HTML scraping loses the description and department, browser rendering is unnecessary overhead (details in the CXS API section).

How do you scrape a Workday career site without a browser?

Skip the HTML entirely: POST the list endpoint at /wday/cxs/{tenant}/{site}/jobs (20 jobs per page), then GET each job's externalPath with Accept: application/json. This actor does that with CheerioCrawler over plain HTTP — no headless browser, no DOM parsing, one request per job for the full record.

How do I export all jobs from a myworkdayjobs.com site to Excel or CSV?

Run the actor with the board URL (leave maxJobsPerBoard at 0 for everything), then export the dataset from the Apify Console as CSV or Excel, or call GET /v2/datasets/{datasetId}/items?format=csv.

How can I monitor new job postings on a company's careers page?

Schedule this actor daily or weekly on the boards you follow and attach a webhook for notifications. For cheap change detection, run with includeDetails: false (one request per 20 jobs) — title, location, reqId and postedOn detect new openings.

Why does my Workday scrape only return a fraction of the jobs?

Four causes, in order: (1) input caps truncated the run — maxJobsPerBoard, maxItems, or the 10-job cap free Apify users get; (2) Workday caps a single search query at 10,000 results, so very large boards need facet filtering; (3) the board rate-limited aggressive pagination — drop maxConcurrency to 2–5; (4) a request failed after 3 retries (60 s timeout). maxRequestsPerCrawl (50,000) is a safety rail, not a job limit.

What fields and data can you get from a Workday job posting?

All 18 fields listed under Output Fields. department and workplaceType are null when a board does not expose them; timeType is always present; descriptionHtml, descriptionText, postedDate, timeType and applyUrl come from the detail record (includeDetails: true, the default), while list-only mode keeps title, location, reqId, postedOn.

For AI Agents & LLM Apps

Purpose: extract structured job-posting records (18 fields) from one or more Workday *.myworkdayjobs.com career boards over plain HTTP — no browser rendering.

Minimal working input:

{ "boards": ["https://nvidia.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite"] }

Output fields: title, location, reqId, postedDate, postedOn, endDate, department, workplaceType, timeType, country, descriptionHtml, descriptionText, applyUrl, company, tenant, site, boardUrl, scrapedAt.

Behaviors an agent should know:

• boards is the only required field (minItems 1); defaults are searchText: "" (all jobs), maxJobsPerBoard: 0, maxItems: 0 (unlimited — free accounts capped at 10 jobs), includeDetails: true, maxConcurrency: 5 (range 1–20), proxy off.
• includeDetails is the cost lever: false switches to list-only mode at one request per 20 jobs; the detail record supplies descriptionHtml, descriptionText, postedDate, timeType and applyUrl.
• Built-in safety caps: 50,000 requests per crawl, 3 request retries, 60-second per-request timeout; runs use 256 MB memory with no browser and no residential proxy by default.
• Workday caps a single search query at 10,000 results; boards beyond that need facet filtering. department and workplaceType may be null (board-dependent); timeType is always present. Keep maxConcurrency at 2–5 for large boards.
• Results are read from the default dataset; the run's output schema exposes one results field pointing at the dataset's /items URL.
