## 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.md):

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

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

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).

### Input

Pass one or more URLs in `startUrls`. The actor uses Apify proxy configuration by default.

### Supported URL Structures

Workday exposes two different URL shapes. The actor handles both, but the path layout is not the same — pass URLs that match one of the two formats below.

#### 1. `myworkdayjobs.com`

`https://{company}.{cluster}.myworkdayjobs.com/{jobBoard}`

The company slug is the first label of the hostname (e.g. `adobe`, `nvidia`, `stripe`) and the job board is the last path segment.

Examples:

- `https://adobe.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/external_experienced`
- `https://nvidia.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite`
- `https://salesforce.wd12.myworkdayjobs.com/External_Career_Site`
- `https://stripe.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/Stripe`

#### 2. `myworkdaysite.com`

`https://{cluster}.myworkdaysite.com/recruiting/{company}/{jobBoard}`

Here the hostname does not include the company. The company slug and job board are the two path segments after `/recruiting/`.

Examples:

- `https://pwc.wd3.myworkdaysite.com/recruiting/pwc/Global_Experienced_Careers`
- `https://wd1.myworkdaysite.com/recruiting/abinbev/SAB`

A trailing `/siteMap.xml` is allowed on either format and is stripped automatically before the API call.

### Output

Each dataset item has the same simple shape:

```json
{
  "title": "Job title",
  "description": "<p>Decoded HTML description</p>",
  "locations": ["Location"],
  "url": "https://example.com/job",
  "date_posted": "2026-05-07"
}
````

### Notes

Descriptions preserve the raw HTML where available, with HTML entities decoded and embedded base64 image payloads removed. The scraper keeps the implementation intentionally small and follows the public APIs or link discovery patterns used by the webjobs crawlers.

# Actor input Schema

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

Two URL structures are supported. You can pass one or more of either kind.

1. myworkdayjobs.com — `https://{company}.{cluster}.myworkdayjobs.com/{jobBoard}`
   The company slug is the first label of the hostname and the job board is the last path segment.
   Examples:
   - https://adobe.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/external\_experienced
   - https://nvidia.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite
   - https://stripe.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/Stripe

2. myworkdaysite.com — `https://{cluster}.myworkdaysite.com/recruiting/{company}/{jobBoard}`
   The company slug and job board are taken from the path after `/recruiting/`.
   Examples:
   - https://pwc.wd3.myworkdaysite.com/recruiting/pwc/Global\_Experienced\_Careers
   - https://wd1.myworkdaysite.com/recruiting/abinbev/SAB

A trailing `/siteMap.xml` is allowed and stripped automatically.

## `maxJobsPerUrl` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of jobs to return for each input URL.

## `maxJobs` (type: `integer`):

Overall cap on jobs returned across all input URLs combined.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    "https://adobe.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/external_experienced",
    "https://wd1.myworkdaysite.com/recruiting/avnet/External/"
  ],
  "maxJobsPerUrl": 100,
  "maxJobs": 500
}
```

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "startUrls": [
        "https://adobe.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/external_experienced",
        "https://wd1.myworkdaysite.com/recruiting/avnet/External/"
    ],
    "maxJobsPerUrl": 100,
    "maxJobs": 500
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("fantastic-jobs/workday-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});
