Workable Jobs Scraper: Direct API & Salaries

Extract every open job from any Workable (apply.workable.com) career portal in seconds: combines description, requirements, and benefits via Workable's v3 list + v2 detail APIs, extracts salary ranges, workplace type (Remote, Hybrid, On-site), recruiter emails, corporate domains, and tracks net-new and closed jobs across scheduled runs.

Runs as pure HTTP against Workable's JSON APIs with an async detail worker pool (Semaphore(15)) in 128 MB of memory.

Which companies can I scrape?

Any company that posts its jobs on Workable, not just the ones in our built-in list. Add as many as you like to urls, in any of these forms:

You paste	Example
The company's Workable board URL	https://apply.workable.com/blueground
Just the company's slug	blueground
A single job URL	https://apply.workable.com/blueground/j/<shortcode>

Finding the slug: open any job on the company's careers page and look at the address bar. The slug comes right after the domain: apply.workable.com/blueground/j/….

What's the built-in directory? An optional shortcut. Turn on includeBuiltInTechDirectory to also scan a short list of verified companies without typing anything. It's off by default and never limits what you can scrape.

Optional Starter Directory (Any Workable Board URL or Slug Works in urls)

You can scrape any company that uses Workable by pasting its board URL or company slug into urls. The 6 companies below are only the optional built-in starter list (scanned when you turn on "includeBuiltInTechDirectory": true)—they never restrict which companies you can scrape:

biffa (Biffa — biffa.co.uk), blueground (Blueground — theblueground.com), skroutz (Skroutz — skroutz.gr), epignosis (Epignosis — epignosis.com), upstream (Upstream — upstreamsystems.com), persado (Persado — persado.com)

Scraping companies across multiple ATS platforms? Combine this Actor with our other live 31-field job scrapers (All-in-One ATS Job Scraper, Workday Jobs Scraper, Greenhouse Jobs Scraper, Lever Jobs Scraper, Ashby Job Scraper, SmartRecruiters Jobs Scraper, Rippling Jobs Scraper, Recruitee Jobs Scraper, Breezy HR Jobs Scraper)—all sharing the exact same 31-field output schema (companyDomain, salaryMin, salaryMax, recruiterEmails, isNew) so they plug into a single n8n, Make, Clay, or Python pipeline with zero field-mapping changes.

Quick Start — 3 Common Workflows

Click Save & Start in Apify Console to run the prefilled sample immediately, or copy one of these ready-to-run JSON inputs:

1. Targeted Keyword & Remote Job Search

{
  "urls": ["biffa", "epignosis", "blueground"],
  "keywordFilter": "engineer, ai, -intern",
  "remoteOnly": true,
  "maxJobsPerCompany": 25
}

2. Scheduled Daily Change Monitor (Emit Only Net-New Jobs)

Run on an hourly or daily schedule—the first run establishes your baseline, and every subsequent run outputs only newly posted jobs (while logging closed/expired job IDs to RUN_SUMMARY):

{
  "urls": ["biffa", "epignosis", "blueground"],
  "onlyNewJobs": true,
  "monitorName": "daily-watchlist",
  "maxJobsPerCompany": 50
}

3. Zero-Input Built-In Directory Scan (B2B Hiring Signals & Clay / CRM Enrichment)

Scan our built-in directory of verified companies without hunting down board URLs—every output record includes companyDomain, salaryFormatted, and recruiterEmails:

{
  "urls": [],
  "includeBuiltInTechDirectory": true,
  "deduplicateMultiLocationJobs": true,
  "maxJobsPerCompany": 15,
  "maxTotalJobs": 300
}

Why developers switch to this Actor

	This Actor (data-goose)	Typical HTML / cached Workable scrapers
Architecture	Pure HTTP (v3 list + v2 detail JSON APIs), 128 MB RAM	Headless Chrome (1–4 GB RAM) or widget-only summary scrapers
Complete Descriptions + Requirements + Benefits	✅ Fetches /api/v2/accounts/{slug}/jobs/{shortcode} to combine description, requirements, and benefits	❌ Only scrapes v3 list cards with 0 description text
Built-In Directory	✅ Turn on includeBuiltInTechDirectory to scan verified active Workable boards (Biffa, Blueground, Skroutz, Epignosis, Upstream, Persado)	❌ Manual URL hunting
B2B Enrichment (companyDomain & recruiterEmails)	✅ Derives root companyDomain (theblueground.com, skroutz.gr, biffa.co.uk) and extracts recruiterEmails	❌ Missing
Change Monitor + Closed Job Tracking	✅ onlyNewJobs emits net-new jobs and records closedJobCount + closedJobKeys in RUN_SUMMARY	❌ Charges extra or lacks state

Drop-in migration from other job scrapers

• Input: accepts urls as plain strings, bare slugs ("blueground", "skroutz"), full Workable URLs (https://apply.workable.com/blueground), single job URLs (https://apply.workable.com/blueground/j/SHORTCODE), or legacy request-list objects ([{"url": "..."}]).
• Output: emits the unified 31-field schema shared across all 10 data-goose ATS scrapers.

Pricing (Pay-Per-Event — No Monthly Subscription)

This Actor uses transparent Pay-Per-Event pricing. You only pay for jobs actually written to your dataset—filtered-out records and already-seen records (onlyNewJobs: true) cost $0.

Plan Tier	Per Job (apify-default-dataset-item)	Cost per 1,000 Jobs	Actor Start Fee (apify-actor-start)	Proxy Cost
Free	$0.00140	$1.40	$0.005	$0 (no proxy needed)
Bronze	$0.00120	$1.20	$0.005	$0
Silver	$0.00100	$1.00	$0.005	$0
Gold / Platinum / Diamond	$0.00085	$0.85	$0.005	$0

• 128 MB Memory Footprint: Runs in pure async HTTP (128 MB RAM instead of 1–4 GB headless browsers), reducing Apify compute usage by 8x–32x.
• Built-in Spend Cap Protection: Use maxTotalJobs / maxJobsPerCompany or Apify's Maximum cost per run setting to cap spend to the exact cent.
