Workday Jobs Scraper

Scrape every open role from any Workday career site through Workday's own public API. You do not need the site ID — paste the company website and the scraper finds the board.

What this scraper does

Workday runs the careers page for a large share of the Fortune 500, and its job data is served by a public JSON API. The awkward part is the URL: every tenant has a site ID like NVIDIAExternalCareerSite or External_Career_Site that is nowhere on the company's homepage.

This actor removes that problem. Give it nvidia.com and it works out the tenant, tries the data centre hosts, probes the known site-ID naming patterns, verifies the board serves jobs, then pulls everything.

What data you get

Field	Notes
title, company, workdayTenant, workdaySite
id	the real Workday requisition ID, e.g. JR2019813
location, locations[], country, isRemote	full location list, not just the summary line
employmentType	Workday's time type
descriptionHtml, descriptionText	complete posting, both formats
applyUrl, jobUrl, companyCareerUrl
postedAt, scrapedAt	ISO 8601

How to use it

Any of these work in Workday career sites:

https://nvidia.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite   ← full URL
https://nvidia.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com                            ← site ID discovered for you
nvidia.com                                                      ← company website

1. Add one or more of the above.
2. Optionally set Search term — it is passed to Workday's own search, so filtering happens on their side and the run is far faster than pulling everything.
3. Add local filters for title, location, keyword, posted-after or remote-only.
4. Run, then export as JSON, CSV or Excel.

Speed

Workday's API returns 20 rows per request and will not return more, however you ask. Rather than walking those pages one at a time, this actor reads the first page to learn the real total and then fetches the rest in parallel — about 4× faster than sequential paging on a large board.

Full descriptions cost one extra request per posting. Turn Include full job descriptions off when you only need an inventory of titles and links.

How much does it cost to scrape Workday?

You are charged per job saved to your dataset, so postings removed by your filters cost nothing. Use Max jobs in total to cap a first run while you check the output.

Two things worth knowing about Workday

It reports the total only once. The first page carries the real count; every page after it reports 0. A scraper that trusts that field on later pages stops early and quietly returns a fraction of the board. This one takes the total from the first response and holds it.

Site IDs are not guessable by pattern alone. They range from External to CISCO_Careers to NVIDIAExternalCareerSite. Discovery tries generic names and tenant-branded variants across every Workday data centre. It resolves most well-known companies; when it cannot, the run tells you which input failed rather than skipping it silently.

Is it legal to scrape Workday job boards?

This actor calls the same public JSON endpoint your browser calls when you open a company's Workday careers page. It collects job postings — company information, not personal data. No candidate data, no logins, no cookies. How you use the output remains your responsibility, including under the relevant terms if you intend to redistribute it.

Frequently asked questions

Why did discovery fail for my company? Either they are not on Workday, or their site ID is fully custom. Open the careers page in a browser, copy the URL, and paste it in — that always works.

Can I search inside descriptions? Yes. Search term goes to Workday's engine; Keyword filters locally against the description text after fetching.

Do I need a proxy? Not usually. The option exists for large scheduled runs from a single IP.

Can I scrape several companies at once? Yes — add as many career sites as you like. Each is resolved independently, and one failure does not stop the others.

How do I get only new postings? Set Only roles posted after to your last run date. Workday publishes relative dates ("Posted 3 Days Ago"), which are converted to real timestamps.
