Workday Scraper - Corporate Career Sites

What does Workday Scraper do?

Workday Scraper extracts structured job data from workday.com — including salary data, contact details, company metadata, full descriptions, and remote-work indicators. It supports keyword search and controllable result limits, so you can run the same query consistently over time. The actor also offers detail enrichment (full descriptions, company metadata, and contact information) where the source provides them.

Key features

• Incremental mode — recurring runs emit and charge only for listings that are new or whose tracked content changed. First run builds the baseline state; subsequent runs emit only new or changed records.
• Detail enrichment — full descriptions, company metadata, and contact information where the source provides them.
• Compact mode — AI-agent and MCP-friendly payloads with core fields only.

What data can you extract from workday.com?

Each result includes Core listing fields (jobId, title, location, country, countryCode, employmentType, remoteType, and jobReqId, and more), detail fields when enrichment is enabled (description), contact and apply information (applyUrl, contactEmail, and contactPhone), and company metadata (company). In standard mode, all fields are always present — unavailable data points are returned as null, never omitted. In compact mode, only core fields are returned.

Enable detail enrichment in the input to get richer fields such as full descriptions, company metadata, and contact information where the source provides them.

The main inputs are a search keyword and a result limit. Additional filters and options are available in the input schema.

When incremental: true, each record also carries:

• changeType — one of NEW, UPDATED, UNCHANGED, REAPPEARED, EXPIRED.
• firstSeenAt, lastSeenAt — ISO-8601 timestamps tracking the listing across runs.
• isRepost, repostOfId, repostDetectedAt — populated when a new listing matches the tracked content of a previously expired one. Set skipReposts: true to drop detected reposts from the output.

Example: recurring monitoring savings

These examples compare full re-scrapes with incremental runs at different churn rates. Churn is the share of listings that are new or whose tracked content changed since the previous run. Actual churn depends on your query breadth, source activity, and polling frequency — the scenarios below are examples, not predictions.

Example setup: 200 results per run, daily polling (30 runs/month). Event-pricing examples scale linearly with result count.

Churn rate	Full re-scrape run cost	Incremental run cost	Savings vs full re-scrape	Monthly cost after baseline
5% — stable niche query	$0.41	$0.03	$0.38 (94%)	$0.75
15% — moderate broad query	$0.41	$0.07	$0.34 (84%)	$1.95
30% — high-volume aggregator	$0.41	$0.13	$0.28 (69%)	$3.75

Full re-scrape monthly cost at daily polling: $12.15. First month with incremental costs $1.13 / $2.29 / $4.03 for the 5% / 15% / 30% scenarios because the first run builds baseline state at full cost before incremental savings apply.
