## Pricing

from $1.00 / 1,000 results

This Actor is paid per event and usage. You are charged both the fixed price for specific events and for Apify platform usage.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## 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 Jobs Scraper

Scrape jobs from any [Workday](https://www.workday.com/)-hosted careers site — those on `*.myworkdayjobs.com` (NVIDIA, Salesforce, Citi, Capital One, and thousands more). HTTP-only, no login, no cookies.

### What it outputs (per job)

- `type` = `job_workday`
- `id` (requisition ID), `requisitionId`, `jobPostingId`, `url`, `title`
- `jobDescription` (HTML), `descriptionText` (stripped)
- `location`, `primaryLocation` (full descriptor + country block), `additionalLocations`, `country`, `countryCode`
- `postedOn`, `postingDate` (ISO), `startDate`, `endDate`, `endDateText`, `applicationCloseDate`, `applicationTimeRemaining`
- `timeType`, `remoteType` (when the tenant publishes it — e.g. `Office - Flexible`, `Onsite`, `Remote`)
- `compensationRangeMin`, `compensationRangeMax`, `compensationCurrency`, `compensationFrequency` (parsed best-effort from the description)
- `canApply`, `hiringOrganization`, `jobRequisitionUrl`
- `questionnaireId`, `secondaryQuestionnaireId`
- `similarJobs` (list of `{title, url}`)
- `logoImage` (absolute URL, when the tenant exposes one)
- `videoInfo` (when present)
- `tenant`, `site`, `externalPath`
- `scrapedAt`

If the given URL has zero matching jobs (or Workday's global maintenance page is up for that tenant), a single `job_workday_blocked` sentinel record is emitted so runs exit `0`.

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `startUrls` | string[] | Workday tenant career URLs (e.g. `https://nvidia.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite`) or direct job URLs (contain `/job/...`). |
| `searchText` | string | Optional keyword filter (`engineer`, `marketing`, …). |
| `locations` | string[] | Optional list of Workday location UUIDs (facet values returned by the `/jobs` API under `facets[].values[].id`). |
| `postedAt` | string | Optional cutoff. Either ISO date (`2026-04-01`) or a relative string (`7 days`, `30 days`). |
| `startAt` | string | Optional start-date cutoff, same format as `postedAt`. |
| `scrapeDetails` | boolean | Fetch the detail endpoint for full HTML descriptions + country + canApply. Default `true`. |
| `maxItems` | integer | Max jobs per run. Default `3`, max `10000`. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | Apify proxy. Datacenter is enough; Workday's public API is unauthenticated. |

### How it works

1. Parse `tenant`, `region`, `site` from each Workday URL.
2. POST the public API `https://<tenant>.<region>.myworkdayjobs.com/wday/cxs/<tenant>/<site>/jobs` with `{ limit, offset, searchText, appliedFacets }` — paginated until `maxItems` or `total` is exhausted.
3. If `scrapeDetails = true`, GET each job's detail endpoint for the full `jobPostingInfo` (description HTML, country, canApply, startDate, timeType).
4. Apply `postedAt` / `startAt` cutoffs in-process.

### FAQ

**Does this work for every Workday tenant?** Yes — every `*.myworkdayjobs.com` site exposes the same public `/wday/cxs/` JSON API without auth.

**What about bot blocking?** Workday's public careers API does not challenge datacenter IPs. A small retry loop handles the occasional 429/503.

**What's a location UUID?** When you open a Workday careers site and expand the Locations filter, each entry has a stable UUID. The first API response's `facets` array returns them.

**Why are some runs emitting only the sentinel?** Individual tenants occasionally redirect to `community.workday.com/maintenance-page` during Workday's rolling deploys. The sentinel lets the caller retry later without a hard failure.

# Actor input Schema

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

Public Workday careers-site URLs to scrape. Accepts tenant career pages (e.g. https://salesforce.wd12.myworkdayjobs.com/External_Career_Site) or direct job URLs that contain /job/...
## `searchText` (type: `string`):

Optional full-text keyword filter passed as searchText on the Workday API (e.g. 'engineer', 'marketing').
## `locations` (type: `array`):

Optional list of Workday location UUIDs (the facet values shown in the Workday location filter). Values from the facets response: facets[].values[].id.
## `postedAt` (type: `string`):

Optional cutoff. Accepts an ISO date (2026-04-01) or a relative string like '7 days' / '30 days'. Jobs posted before the cutoff are skipped when startDate or postedOn can be parsed.
## `startAt` (type: `string`):

Optional ISO date (2026-05-01) or relative '14 days'. Skips jobs whose startDate is before the cutoff.
## `scrapeDetails` (type: `boolean`):

Fetch each job's detail endpoint for the full HTML description, timeType, country, canApply, etc. Turn off for listing-only, faster runs.
## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of jobs to return.
## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Apify proxy (datacenter is enough — Workday's public API accepts datacenter IPs cleanly).

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    "https://salesforce.wd12.myworkdayjobs.com/External_Career_Site"
  ],
  "scrapeDetails": true,

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("crawlerbros/workday-jobs-scraper").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);
});
