Workday Jobs API — Europe: Scrape Jobs from Any Workday Career Site (myworkdayjobs.com)

Get job postings straight from Workday career sites for $0.0015 per job. Paste any myworkdayjobs.com career-site URL, or switch on the built-in list of 37 verified large European employers (Philips, Shell, ING, NXP, Airbus, Novartis, Roche, Deutsche Bank, Unilever, Maersk, LEGO and more). The Actor reads the same public Workday job API that powers each company's own careers page and returns one clean, normalised and deduplicated record per job: title, company, legal entity, location(s), country, remote/hybrid/on-site, employment type, exact posting date, closing date, apply link and the full description as plain text.

There are no logins, no proxies and no browser: it only collects what anyone can see on the public careers page. It is fast (about 10–15 jobs per second per site), polite (robots.txt checked, 4 requests at a time per site) and cheap. Career sites that cannot be read show up as a free error row and are never charged.

Who is this Workday jobs scraper for?

• Recruiters, staffing and executive-search agencies who track which large employers are hiring which roles in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, the UK or anywhere else in Europe.
• Sales and business-development teams who use hiring as a buying signal: a corporate opening 15 data-engineering jobs in Amsterdam needs data tools and consultants.
• Job boards, niche job sites and newsletters that want direct-from-employer jobs from enterprise companies, refreshed daily with the only new jobs mode.
• HR-tech, labour-market researchers and analysts who need structured vacancy data per company, country and contract type.
• AI agents and MCP clients: every input has a safe default, so a call with just one careerSiteUrls entry works.

What does the Workday Jobs API do?

1. Understands any Workday career-site URL: https://philips.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/jobs-and-careers, https://shell.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/ShellCareers, a job link (…/job/Eindhoven/…_12345), https://wd3.myworkdaysite.com/recruiting/<company>/<site> or the shorthand philips/wd3/jobs-and-careers. Filters in the URL (for example ?locationCountry=… or ?q=…) are kept.
2. Searches each site through Workday's public job search (20 jobs per request), with your search text and, when the site offers one, Workday's own country filter, so a country search on a site with 2,000 jobs only reads the jobs in that country.
3. Opens each matching job to get the exact posting date, country, time type, remote type, legal entity, additional locations and description.
4. Normalises everything: ISO country codes, regions (EUROPE), remote / hybrid / onsite, full-time / part-time / contract / internship / temporary, ISO 8601 dates, plain-text descriptions with e-mail addresses removed.
5. Filters on search text, title keywords, excluded words, countries (including EU, Benelux, DACH, Nordics), location text, workplace type, employment type and posting age.
6. Deduplicates across the whole run (multi-country jobs are listed once) and, in only new jobs mode, skips jobs you already received in earlier runs. Skipped jobs are free.

How do I find a company's Workday URL?

Open any job on the company's careers page. If the address contains myworkdayjobs.com, copy the part up to the site name, for example https://nxp.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/careers. Search engines also work: site:myworkdayjobs.com "company name".

The field names match our EU Career Site Jobs API (Greenhouse, Lever, Recruitee, Personio, Ashby…), so you can merge both datasets into one jobs table.

Status values

• ok: a job posting (charged).
• error: a career site could not be read, for example a wrong site name or robots.txt disallows it (free).
• no_results: nothing matched your filters, or there were no new jobs since the last run (free).

Run summary

Every run stores RUN_SUMMARY in the default key-value store: jobs saved, events charged, maxResultsReached, chargeLimitReached, jobs already delivered earlier, duplicates removed, filtered-out counts per filter and per-site statistics (jobs on site, listed, details fetched, saved, errors).

Speed

About 10–15 jobs per second per career site, 3 sites in parallel by default. 200 jobs take under a minute; the whole 37-company seed list with maxResultsPerCompany: 50 takes a few minutes. The default memory of 256 MB is enough.

How much does it cost to scrape Workday jobs?

This Actor uses pay per event: $0.0015 per job on the Free plan, cheaper on paid plans, with platform usage included. Error rows, no_results rows, duplicates, filtered-out jobs and jobs skipped by only new jobs are free.

Event	Free plan	Bronze	Silver	Gold and up
Job posting	$0.0015	$0.0013	$0.0011	$0.001
Actor start (per run)	$0.005

Cost table (Free plan prices)

What you collect	Jobs	Cost
A quick check of one company	25	$0.043
Default run	200	$0.305
Daily new jobs from all 37 seed employers	~300 per day	~$0.46 per day
10,000 jobs	10,000	$15.005

Bill-shock protection:

• A run never saves more than maxResults jobs (default 200, so at most $0.305 per run on the Free plan).
• It stops cleanly at your maximum cost per run: RUN_SUMMARY.chargeLimitReached is set and sites that were skipped are listed in companiesNotProcessed.
• Use maxResultsPerCompany so one large employer cannot use up the whole budget.

FAQ

Does it work for any company on Workday, not just the seed list?

Yes. Any public Workday career site works (*.wd1, wd3, wd5, wd103… .myworkdayjobs.com and myworkdaysite.com), anywhere in the world. The seed list is just a verified starting point for Europe.

Why can't I get more than 2,000 jobs from one site?

Workday's search returns at most 2,000 postings per query. For very large employers (Airbus, for example), add a Countries filter or Search text; each country is a separate, smaller search.

Why is workplaceType sometimes empty?

Not every employer fills Workday's remote-type field. When it is missing we only mark a job remote or hybrid if the title or location says so; otherwise the value stays null (unknown). The remote filters only keep jobs with a known type.

How does "only new jobs" work?

The Actor remembers the IDs of the jobs it delivered under your State key in the named key-value store workday-jobs-api-state in your own Apify account (kept for 180 days). The next run skips those jobs before opening them, so they cost nothing. Use a different state key for each schedule.

Can I use it from an AI agent or automation?

Yes. All inputs have defaults, the output is flat JSON, and runs finish in seconds for small requests. It works with the Apify MCP server, the API, Zapier, Make and n8n.

Is it legal to scrape Workday career sites?

The Actor only reads public job postings that employers publish so they can be found and shared, through the same public endpoints their careers page uses. It does not log in, does not bypass any protection, checks each site's robots.txt and skips sites that disallow it, keeps request rates low and removes e-mail addresses from descriptions. Job postings are business information, but descriptions can be copyrighted: if you republish them, link back to the applyUrl and respect each employer's terms. If you process personal data (for example a recruiter's name in a description), you are responsible for complying with GDPR.
