Workday Jobs Scraper | Career Change Feed

What you can export

Use this Workday jobs and career-site scraper for recruiting research and hiring monitoring. Supply public career-site URLs to export openings, descriptions, locations and available compensation fields.

Compare complete, unfiltered snapshots for new, changed and observed-closed jobs. Check SITE_SUMMARY before treating a collection as complete; a missing job is not called closed after a capped, filtered or failed read.

Try the example input

Paste public Workday careers URLs into startUrls. Both company.wdN.myworkdayjobs.com/site and wdN.myworkdaysite.com/recruiting/company/site are supported, including locale and job-page URLs. Multiple boards share one dataset.

{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://austintexas.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/COA_Careers"
    },
    {
      "url": "https://wd5.myworkdaysite.com/recruiting/microchiphr/External"
    }
  ],
  "maxJobsPerSite": 10
}

The example limits output to ten rows per site. Remove that limit, or set it to 0, for all matching rows. An omitted startUrls never starts example work: {} succeeds with guidance and no job requests.

Inputs

Field	Type	Default	Meaning
startUrls	array	none	Public Workday URLs as strings or {url} objects in the JSON editor; supports multiple boards.
companies	array	[]	Bundled mapped names, public domains or careers URLs. Unknown names go to ERRORS.
inputUrl	string	none	Public UTF-8 CSV, XLSX or Google Sheet; cells may contain the same URLs/names.
searchText	string	empty	Workday's own keyword search.
appliedFacets	object	{}	Facet parameter names mapped to arrays of source IDs from SITE_SUMMARY.
titleKeywords	array	[]	Case-insensitive OR literal substrings in job titles.
locationKeywords	array	[]	OR literal substrings across primary and additional locations.
descriptionKeywords	array	[]	AND literal substrings across title and full description; requires details.
remoteOnly	boolean	false	Only explicit remote roles; unknown and hybrid excluded.
employmentType	string	none	Case-insensitive literal stem in source timeType, such as full or part.
postedAfter	string	none	Inclusive YYYY-MM-DD using exact source startDate; ignored with a warning in list-only mode.
includeDetails	boolean	true	Full descriptions and detail fields; false reads listing fields only.
includeRawJson	boolean	false	Adds the original detail response, or list object, as raw.
maxJobsPerSite	integer	0	Output rows per site; 0 means unlimited. Example prefill uses 10.
maxItems	integer	none	Global output cap; 0 means no job reads or rows.
detailConcurrency	integer	5	1–10 simultaneous detail requests per batch.
maxRetriesPerRequest	integer	3	1–5 total attempts; fresh cookies and proxy session for each attempt.
maxRunSeconds	integer	900	Positive source-read budget, up to 86,400 seconds. Each request has a terminating deadline of at most 20 seconds, including DNS and response reads.
proxyConfiguration	object	Apify datacenter	Omitted starts with BUYPROXIES94952; alternate-family details retry through residential after a transport failure and reuse that route for the board. useApifyProxy:false uses direct egress; supplied settings are respected.
baselineDatasetId	string	none	Read-only full snapshot dataset from this Actor; enable dataset READ permission.

Names are matched without punctuation or case. The bundled map contains 3,282 Workday tenant names and 4,896 career sites, including City of Austin and Microchip; availability can change. Use the tenant name shown in a Workday URL, or one of the mapped organization aliases. A careers-domain URL is inspected for public Workday links or redirects and up to two same-origin careers links. If discovery finds several boards, supply the intended URLs directly. Each unique canonical board is read once.

{"companies": ["City of Austin", "microchip"], "titleKeywords": ["engineer", "analyst"], "maxItems": 50}

{"companies": ["https://www.austintexas.gov/services/apply-city-job"], "includeDetails": false, "maxJobsPerSite": 20}

For spreadsheets, use {"inputUrl":"https://your-public-host.example/workday-boards.csv"}. A header such as company,url is optional. Reads are limited to 5 MB, 10,000 cells and 10 MB of expanded XLSX XML. There is no login or private-sheet access.

27 request examples

Replace the public file host, Google Sheet ID and baseline dataset ID placeholders with your own resources. The job-page example reads its board, not only that one job. Filters may match no jobs. Capped examples cannot be used as full baselines. Example 23 produces the full-detail baseline for example 27; grant READ access to that dataset. These are input bodies, not published Store tasks.

Example 24 uses a 2,700-second source-read budget. For a large board, set the Actor's platform run timeout to at least 3,600 seconds with 256 MB of memory; maxRunSeconds does not extend the platform run timeout.

Output

One dataset row is one job, or one observed job change. Example values below illustrate the shape; they are not a currently advertised vacancy.

Field	What it contains
recordType	job for a snapshot or jobChange for a comparison.
snapshotEligible	True only for uncapped, unfiltered full-detail snapshot settings with no source error observed before this row. Baseline import additionally verifies full per-board row counts. False on changes.
detailUnavailable	True when the source lists only a requisition ID or the requested detail returns 404. Only actual list facts are retained; missing title and links are null. The measured reason is in ERRORS.
title, company	Source title and hiring organization; tenant used if no organization name is published.
tenant, siteId, sourceUrl	Canonical Workday board identity and URL.
url, applyUrl	Public job page and its Workday /apply link; no application is opened or submitted.
atsPlatform, seniority	workday; first explicit title word among intern, junior, senior, staff, lead, principal, director and executive, or null.
city, region, locationCount	Explicit comma-delimited location tokens; null for ambiguous prose. Count from a source N Locations label, or null. No geocoding.
jobReqId, jobPostingId, workdayInternalId	Source requisition, posting and internal IDs.
locationsText, primaryLocation, additionalLocations, locations	List summary plus every published detail location; no geocoding.
country, countryCode	Published country descriptor and alpha2Code.
postedOn, postedDate, endDate, timeLeftToApply	Relative label, exact source startDate/endDate and deadline label.
timeType, remoteType, isRemote, workArrangement	Source employment/remote type; normalized remote, hybrid or onsite when explicit.
canApply	Source application-availability boolean.
descriptionHtml, descriptionText	Full original HTML and readable, entity-decoded text; null in list-only mode.
responsibilities, qualifications	Text under recognized description headings, or null.
salaryText, salaryMin, salaryMax, salaryCurrency, salaryUnit	First explicit published range. Amounts retain their HOUR/DAY/WEEK/MONTH/YEAR period; no annualization or predicted pay.
scrapedAt, totalJobsOnSite	UTC observation timestamp and source-count target for this query, including count-verified facet partitions.
raw	Optional original source payload.
changeStatus, changedFields	Change-only: new, changed or closed, with sorted changed source fields.

Missing source values are null. Pay and remote status are not inferred from a model. Available job descriptions are retained even if section detection finds no headings. Source-listed postings with unavailable details count toward jobs read and coverage; they cannot be baseline rows or produce changes. Other valid jobs and later partitions continue. Their missing metadata makes SITE_SUMMARY incomplete for snapshot comparisons.

Snapshot changes

Save a full, unfiltered snapshot with details and no output cap, then pass its dataset ID as baselineDatasetId with READ permission. Only new or changed current rows are delivered; unchanged rows are suppressed. A job absent from a completely collected current board is emitted as closed, with its previous values and the current observation timestamp.

{
  "startUrls": [{"url": "https://austintexas.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/COA_Careers"}],
  "baselineDatasetId": "YOUR_PREVIOUS_FULL_SNAPSHOT_DATASET_ID"
}

A change feed is not a full snapshot and cannot be reused as a baseline. Capped, filtered or list-only baselines are rejected: every row must have snapshotEligible:true, and each board must have full descriptions and as many unique rows as its recorded source total. Baselines missing that flag are rejected with guidance in ERRORS. Current comparisons require details. Relative posting-age and deadline labels do not create billable changes; exact dates remain comparison fields. Empty baselines make every current job new and produce a warning. Baselines are never changed. A missing job is never called closed after a capped, filtered, list-only, interrupted or failed collection. Closure is an observation, not the source's deletion time.

Coverage and completion

Detail batches share one HTTP worker. Each read uses a fresh cookie and proxy session. A request deadline terminates the worker and its pending reads, then uses the bounded retry policy; unfinished jobs are recorded in ERRORS.

This Actor reads anonymous public Workday career sites. It does not read application accounts or login-only jobs. Workday sometimes returns the same zero-job response for an invalid board and an empty board; a zero result therefore does not prove an employer has no vacancies.

Pagination uses the first query count, twenty jobs per page and unique requisition identities. When source facets expose a larger count than the list cap, the Actor partitions by count-covering facet values and verifies the final unique union. No usable partition, moving counts, repeated pages, failed details or a time budget mark the collection incomplete. Inspect SITE_SUMMARY before treating any result as a complete snapshot. Date filtering scans all pages because job dates are not reliably sorted.

SITE_SUMMARY contains per-site source counts, jobs read, rows delivered, completion and raw facets, plus response bytes, request count and a charge/cap stop flag. ERRORS contains unresolved inputs and safe read-failure reasons. Both are unbilled run records, separate from the dataset. A valid zero or unmatched filter succeeds with guidance; a run where every attempt fails and no row is delivered fails. Mixed runs retain valid jobs.

Blocked/rate-limited, server-error and malformed answers receive bounded retries on fresh sessions. Rejected requests (400/404/422) stop immediately. Default egress is Apify datacenter; choose residential only where a blocked board requires it and account for its transfer cost. A binding customer charge limit stops new work; requests already in flight may finish.

The results are live observations. The Actor supplies no historical global database, AI/company/contact enrichment or other ATS adapters. See the current Pricing tab for event prices.
