# Workday Jobs Scraper & Change Detector (`aiechosystem/workday-jobs-scraper-test`) Actor Extract jobs from public Workday career sites and monitor new, changed, and removed job postings - **URL**: https://apify.com/aiechosystem/workday-jobs-scraper-test.md - **Developed by:** [Jawad EL OUFIR](https://apify.com/aiechosystem) (community) - **Categories:** Jobs, Automation - **Stats:** 2 total users, 0 monthly users, 100.0% runs succeeded, 0 bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing from $2.00 / 1,000 job listings This Actor is paid per event and usage. You are charged both the fixed price for specific events and for Apify platform usage.

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. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Workday Jobs Scraper & Change Detector Python 3.12 Apify Actor for extracting public Workday job listings and detecting new, changed, and removed postings between runs. ### Development status The project has a current Apify Python lifecycle, locked dependencies, a reproducible container build, linting, type checking, and tests. It can now validate public Workday URLs, derive their public JSON search endpoint, paginate list-level results, deduplicate them, and write real records to an Apify Dataset. Job-detail extraction, filtering, normalization beyond list-level fields, change detection, input and dataset schemas, and billing are still to be implemented. No external database is used. The finished Actor will use Apify Dataset for run results and Apify Key-Value Store for monitoring snapshots. ### Local development Install [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/), then run: ```shell uv sync --all-groups uv run python -m src uv run pytest uv run ruff check . uv run ty check src ```` The checked-in `requirements.txt` is generated from `uv.lock` for compatibility with standard Python tooling. Manage dependencies with `uv add` and regenerate it with: ```shell uv export --no-dev --no-hashes --format requirements-txt -o requirements.txt ``` ### Apify deployment After installing and authenticating the Apify CLI: ```shell apify push ``` The Actor definition is in `.actor/actor.json`; the container runs `python -m src` on Apify's Python 3.12 base image. # Actor input Schema ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Required public Workday career-site, search, or job-detail URLs. Example: https://autodesk.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/Ext ## `searchTerms` (type: `array`): Optional case-insensitive OR match against title, description, department, or category. ## `locations` (type: `array`): Optional case-insensitive OR match against the normalized location fields. ## `remoteOnly` (type: `boolean`): Keep only jobs explicitly classified as remote. Hybrid and uncertain roles are excluded. ## `postedWithinDays` (type: `integer`): Optional maximum posting age. Jobs with an unavailable date are retained. ## `maxJobsPerSource` (type: `integer`): Safety limit. Reaching it marks the crawl truncated and prevents removed-job detection. ## `includeJobDetails` (type: `boolean`): Fetches the public detail endpoint for each job; this increases requests and run time. ## `includeDescriptionHtml` (type: `boolean`): Store original Workday description HTML in addition to cleaned text. ## `parseSalary` (type: `boolean`): Best-effort parsing of common US salary formats; raw source text is always retained when found. ## `deduplicateJobs` (type: `boolean`): Use stable Workday requisition, job ID, or external path to remove duplicates. ## `changeDetection` (type: `object`): Optional named monitoring scope. A first baseline stores the snapshot without treating current jobs as alerts. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Optional Apify Proxy settings. Disabled by default; public Workday JSON endpoints often do not need it. ## Actor input object example ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://autodesk.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/Ext", "companyName": "Autodesk" } ], "searchTerms": [], "locations": [], "remoteOnly": false, "maxJobsPerSource": 1000, "includeJobDetails": true, "includeDescriptionHtml": false, "parseSalary": true, "deduplicateJobs": true, "changeDetection": { "enabled": false, "emitMode": "changes_and_current", "initialRunBehavior": "baseline", "includeRemovedJobs": true }, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `jobListings` (type: `string`): Normalized public Workday job records, including their change status when monitoring is enabled. ## `runSummary` (type: `string`): Counts and status information for the completed run. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://autodesk.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/Ext", "companyName": "Autodesk" } ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("aiechosystem/workday-jobs-scraper-test").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
