## 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/docs.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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.

## Workable Jobs Scraper

**💰 $1.50 / 1 000 results** &nbsp;·&nbsp; pay only for results &nbsp;·&nbsp; no credit card to try

_We do the dirty work so your dataset stays clean._ 😈

Scrape every open job posting from any Workable-hosted employer board via Workable's own public widget JSON API — no login, no browser, no API key. Give it a list of subdomains and get titles, locations, departments, remote flags, and optional full descriptions as clean typed rows.

</div>

---

### 🎯 What this scrapes

Thousands of companies run their careers page on Workable, and every one of those boards is served by the same public widget JSON API (`apply.workable.com/api/v1/widget/accounts/{subdomain}`). This Actor talks to it directly: hand it one or more subdomains — the `{subdomain}` in `apply.workable.com/{subdomain}` or `{subdomain}.workable.com` — and it pulls every open posting for each board in one call, normalizing the result into one row schema. One scraper, every Workable employer.

### 🔥 Features

- 🔑 **Keyless public API** — no OAuth, no token, no per-company setup; the same widget endpoint the careers page itself calls.
- 🏢 **Multi-company in one run** — pass many subdomains; rows come back identically shaped, tagged with `company` / `company_name`.
- 🎯 **Client-side filters** — narrow by free-text `searchQuery`, `department`, or `location` after the fetch, at no extra request cost.
- 📝 **Optional full descriptions** — flip `includeDescription` on for the complete HTML posting body, or off for a faster, smaller payload.
- 🔁 **Retries with backoff + fingerprint impersonation** — `curl-cffi` presents a real browser handshake and retries transient `429/5xx` so a large multi-employer batch finishes instead of dying midway.
- 🧊 **Clean, typed rows** — Pydantic-validated, ISO-8601 timestamps, stable IDs. Export JSON / CSV / Excel straight from the Apify Console.

### 💡 Use cases

- **Recruiting & sourcing** — pull every open req from a target employer's Workable board in one pass.
- **Job-board aggregation** — add Workable coverage next to Workday / Greenhouse / Lever / Ashby / SmartRecruiters in one pipeline.
- **SDR / BD hiring-intent signal** — track which companies are actively hiring, where, and in which departments.
- **HR-tech data pipelines** — wire structured job rows into your CRM, dashboard, or n8n / Make workflow on a schedule.

### ⚙️ How to use it

1. Click **Try for free** at the top of the Store listing.
2. Add one or more **Companies** — a Workable subdomain (e.g. `remotebase`) or a full board URL in either recognized form.
3. Optionally set **Search query**, **Department**, **Location**, **Max results per company**, and toggle **Include description**.
4. Click **Start**. Rows stream into the dataset as each company's board is fetched.
5. Export from **Storage → Dataset** as JSON, CSV, or Excel — or pull via the Apify API.

### 📥 Input

| Field | Type | Required | Default | Notes |
|---|---|:--:|---|---|
| `companies` | `array` | ✅ | — | Workable subdomains or full board URLs (e.g. `remotebase`, `https://apply.workable.com/remotebase/`, `https://remotebase.workable.com/`). |

#### Example input

```json
{
  "companies": ["remotebase"],
  "maxResultsPerCompany": 25,
  "includeDescription": true,
  "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true }
}
````

### 💰 Pricing

Pay-per-event (PPE) — you're only charged for what actually runs and lands.

| Event | Price | Trigger |
|---|---|---|
| Actor start | $0.005 | Once per run |
| Result | $0.0015 | Per job posting written to the dataset |

**$1.50 / 1 000 results.** No data → no charge (only the small actor-start warm-up fee).

### 🚧 Limitations

- One row per posting — a job listed at multiple `locations[]` entries emits only the first location.
- Only currently-live postings; no historical/removed posting archive.
- `searchQuery` / `department` / `location` filters run client-side after the fetch — Workable's own server-side facets don't work reliably for this endpoint.

### ❓ FAQ

**Do I need a Workable API key?** No — this Actor uses Workable's own public, unauthenticated widget endpoint.

**What if a subdomain doesn't exist?** It's logged as a warning and treated as zero jobs; the run still completes and other companies keep processing.

**Can I filter server-side to save money?** No — Workable's facet params don't reliably filter results, so all filtering happens client-side after the one fetch per company. You're still only charged per emitted row.

### Changelog

See [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md).

# Actor input Schema

## `companies` (type: `array`):

Workable subdomain, e.g. "remotebase" (the employer identifier in apply.workable.com/{subdomain}/ or {subdomain}.workable.com/), or a full board URL in either form — the subdomain is regex-extracted automatically. A plain string with no "workable.com" substring is used literally, unchanged.

## `searchQuery` (type: `string`):

Client-side substring match on job title (and description when Include description is on). Never sent to Workable as a query param — Workable's server-side search facet is confirmed non-functional. Leave empty to skip.

## `department` (type: `string`):

Client-side substring match on job department. Never sent to Workable as a query param. Leave empty to skip.

## `location` (type: `string`):

Client-side substring match on job city/state/country. Never sent to Workable as a query param. Leave empty to skip.

## `maxResultsPerCompany` (type: `integer`):

Cap job postings emitted per companies entry, applied after client-side filtering.

## `includeDescription` (type: `boolean`):

When enabled, populate the full HTML job description for every emitted row. The description is already fetched in the one call made per company either way — this only gates whether it's emitted.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Apify Proxy configuration. No anti-bot behaviour has been observed on Workable's public widget API, so the standard (non-residential) group is enough.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "companies": [
    "remotebase"
  ],
  "maxResultsPerCompany": 100,
  "includeDescription": false,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `datasetItems` (type: `string`):

All dataset items as JSON.

## `datasetItemsCsv` (type: `string`):

Same data exported to CSV.

## `datasetView` (type: `string`):

Open the run dataset in the Console.
