A Workday jobs API and Workday job scraper in one: search open jobs on 4,796 Workday career sites (NVIDIA, Salesforce, Adobe, Intel…) by keyword, location, remote and posting date, and get flat, deduplicated JSON: title, company, locations, country codes, remote flag, posting date, apply link and full description. Paste any Workday career-site URL ("https://nvidia.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite") to read it live. $2 per 1,000 jobs, and you pay only for the jobs you get.

Quick start

1. Click Start with the prefilled input: keywords: ["engineer"], maxResults: 20, maxPerCompany: 3. The run usually takes under a minute.
2. You get the 20 most relevant Workday jobs for "engineer" at large employers (software, hardware, field and sales engineers…), at most 3 per company: jobs with the keyword in the title come first, newest first among equals.
3. That first run costs at most $0.04 (20 jobs × $0.002), which fits in Apify's free monthly credit. Then name the companies you track (companies: ["NVIDIA", "Salesforce"]), add locations or remote, or paste board URLs in companyUrls.

What you get

One flat record per job opening, from a real run:

• posted_at is a date derived from Workday's "Posted N Days Ago" label when the site was read (UTC midnight; "Posted 30+ Days Ago" becomes 30 days before, meaning 30 days or more, see the FAQ). Workday job lists publish no pay range or department, so the salary_*, department and team fields are null (never guessed). workplace_type comes from the site's remote type where shown (Remote, Hybrid, Flex, On-site), otherwise from the location text, and employment_type from its time type. Lists name only the primary location of a multi-location job; with includeDescription the delivered row lists every location.
• match_score (0–100) and matched_in (title, department, description) explain keyword matches. Both are null without keywords.
• duplicate_sources lists other job_ids of the same opening (for example a company with two boards). Each opening is delivered and charged once.
• No personal data. Recruiter and hiring-manager fields are never copied, and contact details in descriptions are replaced with [… redacted].

Use cases

• Workday jobs API across employers: one call searches thousands of Workday career sites (*.myworkdayjobs.com) instead of scripting each employer's job search page.
• Workday job scraper for job boards and aggregators: enterprise jobs (healthcare, finance, retail, manufacturing, tech) filtered by keyword, location and remote, refreshed daily with sinceLastRun: true.
• Tracking specific employers: companies: ["NVIDIA", "Salesforce"], or their career-site URLs in companyUrls, scheduled daily.
• Recruiting and sales intelligence: which large employers are hiring which roles, and where. For one row per company, see Companies Hiring.

Input

Field	Type	Notes
keywords	string[]	Case-insensitive. Title matches rank first, then department/team, then description (first ~1,500 characters)
keywordMatch	any | all	Default any
keywordScope	title | title_and_description	Default title_and_description
companies	string[]	Company names (NVIDIA) or Workday board tokens (nvidia.wd5/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite). Empty = every Workday company in the index
excludeKeywords	string[]	Drops jobs whose title contains any of them
locations	string[]	Location text as written in the posting, or an ISO country code (US, DE)
remote	any | remote_only | onsite_only	Default any
postedWithinDays	integer	First published within the last N days
departments	string[]	Substring match on department or team
employmentTypes	string[]	full_time, part_time, contract, temporary, internship, other. Normalized from the time type a Workday site shows in its job list (Full time, Part time). Many sites don't show one; their jobs are excluded when this is set.
maxResults	integer	Default 100
maxPerCompany	integer	Optional cap on jobs from any one company (prefill 3), so a single employer posting many near-identical roles can't fill your results
includeDescription	boolean	Default true: full description fetched live from Workday for each delivered job
sinceLastRun	boolean	Only jobs not delivered by an earlier run with the same filters
companyUrls	string[]	Live mode: Workday board URLs or tokens, fetched directly from Workday. URLs of other platforms are ignored with a warning

Workday board references accepted in live mode:

Form	Example
Career site	https://nvidia.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite, also with a locale: …/en-US/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite
Job page	https://nvidia.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite/job/… (reads that job's whole site)
myworkdaysite.com	https://wd1.myworkdaysite.com/recruiting/paypal/jobs
Token	nvidia.wd5/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite or workday:nvidia.wd5/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite

How it works. Without companyUrls, the Actor searches a compact search index of the Workday career sites in our directory, rebuilt daily from each site's public job list, and downloads only the Workday parts of it for your date range. With keywords, it ranks every matching job before delivering the top maxResults. For each delivered job it then reads the full description live from the site (one request per job), which also drops jobs closed since the nightly build (not delivered, not charged). Until the index holds Workday jobs, a search reads a few built-in Workday sites live instead.

Pricing (pay per event)

Event	Price	Meaning
job-result	$2.00 per 1,000 ($0.002 each)	One job delivered. No start fee. Runs with no matches, jobs skipped by sinceLastRun, jobs found closed and failed boards are never charged.

Set a maximum charge per run in Apify, and the Actor stops cleanly when it is reached.

Coverage

Directory of 2026-10-09: 4,796 Workday career sites listing 850,315 open jobs, including NVIDIA, Salesforce, Adobe, Intel, Target, Boeing. The search index keeps the newest 300 jobs of each site (about half of all listed jobs); live mode reads up to 2,000 per site.

Sites were discovered from Common Crawl's public URL index and validated against each site's own job list (at least one open job, and robots.txt allows reading it). They join the daily search index with its nightly build. Any other Workday career site works in live mode through companyUrls.

Sources and terms

Only the public career sites employers publish on Workday (<company>.<wdN>.myworkdayjobs.com/<site>): the same job list and job pages any visitor sees, read through the JSON endpoint those pages load. Before reading a site we check its host's robots.txt (career sites allow /<site>/; a site whose rules disallow its job pages or that endpoint is skipped), send a descriptive User-Agent, read one page at a time per site, keep to a few requests per second across all Workday hosts (4/s in this Actor, under 7/s in the nightly index build) and back off on HTTP 429. Job data only: no candidate or recruiter profiles, no logins (myworkday.com tenant apps are never touched), no LinkedIn or Indeed.

factpipe Jobs Data

All of these Actors search the same daily index of open jobs from 10,000+ company job boards:

• Jobs Feed API: every job from every platform, every filter, ranked by relevance.
• Greenhouse, Lever & Ashby Jobs Scraper: pick several applicant tracking systems (also Workable and Recruitee) in one run.
• Remote Jobs API: remote and work-from-home jobs only, filtered by region or time zone.
• Companies Hiring: one row per company that is hiring for a role, as sales leads or market research.
• Greenhouse Jobs API: every Greenhouse job board in one search.
• Lever Jobs API: every Lever job board, with salary where published.
• Ashby Jobs API: every Ashby job board: startup and AI jobs, with salary where published.
• Workday Jobs API (this Actor): every Workday career site in our directory (large employers), or any Workday site live.

FAQ

Do I need a Workday account or API key? No. Workday career sites are public: these are the job lists and job pages any visitor of the employer's careers site sees. No key, no login.

How do I find a company's board token? It is <company>.<wdN>/<site> from the career-site URL: https://nvidia.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite is nvidia.wd5/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite. Or paste the URL itself, or type the company name in companies.

How fresh is the data? The index is rebuilt daily. With includeDescription on (the default), every delivered job is re-checked live against Workday during your run. Live mode (companyUrls) always reads Workday directly.

How is posted_at derived for Workday jobs? Workday career sites show a relative label instead of a date: "Posted Today", "Posted Yesterday", "Posted 5 Days Ago" or "Posted 30+ Days Ago". We turn it into a date relative to when the site was read (nightly for the index, during your run in live mode): today, yesterday, 5 days earlier, and for "30+" exactly 30 days earlier, which means 30 days or more. The date is set to UTC midnight, so it can be a day off around midnight in the employer's time zone. postedWithinDays and sinceLastRun use this date.

Which Workday URLs work in companyUrls? Any page of a public Workday career site on myworkdayjobs.com (with or without a locale such as /en-US/), a job URL (its whole site is read), or the myworkdaysite.com/recruiting/<company>/<site> form. Internal Workday tenants on myworkday.com need a login and are not supported.

Do keywords search Workday job descriptions? In the daily index, keywords match job titles: Workday job lists carry no description. With includeDescription (the default) every delivered job's full description is read live from its site. In live mode (companyUrls), too, keywords match titles.

Do you respect robots.txt and rate limits? Yes. Before reading a Workday site we read its host's robots.txt and skip any site whose rules disallow its job pages or the JSON endpoint they load. Requests are spaced (one at a time per site; at most 4 per second across all Workday hosts in this Actor, under 7 per second in the nightly index build) and back off on HTTP 429 and Retry-After.

Do I get every job of employers with thousands of openings? Workday itself lists at most 2,000 jobs per site. Live mode reads up to 2,000 per site, newest first, within a 2.5-minute budget per site; the nightly index keeps the newest 300 per site. RUN_SUMMARY counts the sites that were cut short (boards_truncated).

What happens to Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable or Recruitee URLs? They are ignored with a warning in the log, and the rest of the run goes ahead. If no Workday board is left, the run ends successfully with a message and nothing is charged. For several platforms in one run, use Greenhouse, Lever & Ashby Jobs Scraper.

Switching from ats-jobs-scraper or other Workday scrapers? Inputs from ats-jobs-scraper work as they are: the same fields minus ats (ignored if present, the platform is always Workday), and the same output records. Only companyUrls of other platforms are skipped. From other tools, this field map covers the usual settings:

You want	Use here
Company name, board token or board URL	companies (index) or companyUrls (live)
Job title / search query	keywords (+ keywordScope: "title" for titles only)
Location or country	locations (text or ISO code)
Remote only	remote: "remote_only"
Date posted	postedWithinDays
Result limit	maxResults
Job description	includeDescription → description_text
Job id / URL / apply link	job_id / job_url / apply_url
Company / location / date	company_name / locations / posted_at

Can I call it from Python, JavaScript, Make, Zapier or an AI agent? Yes, through the Apify API, the official clients, Apify integrations (Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets, Slack) or the Apify MCP server.

Reliability

Public Workday career sites only, robots.txt checked per host. Retries with backoff (honouring Retry-After), a polite global request rate, a time budget per site so a 2,000-job site never stalls a run, a RUN_SUMMARY record on every run, and a built-in live fallback if the search index is unreachable or has no Workday jobs yet.
