Workday Job Scraper

Every open job from any Workday career site, as clean JSON. Paste a myworkdayjobs.com URL and get title, location, pay range, posted date, description and apply link for the whole board, including boards with more than 2,000 postings.

Built for recruiters and staffing firms watching enterprise employers, sales teams that treat hiring as a buying signal, job boards that need a direct feed, Workday consultants tracking Workday-titled roles, and AI agents that need job data without reverse-engineering Workday's job API.

Why Workday needs its own scraper

Workday runs the career sites of most large enterprises (banks, hospitals, manufacturers, universities, state governments), and it is the hardest ATS to read well:

• The job API is undocumented and pages 20 jobs at a time.
• Every query stops at 2,000 results, so a board with 2,700 postings silently loses 700 to a naive scraper.
• List pages give relative dates ("Posted 3 Days Ago") and no description, hiring organization or pay.
• Tenant names are case-sensitive, site names vary per tenant, and language segments (/en-US/) appear in some URLs and not others.

This actor handles all of it. Boards over the cap are split by job family and location facets and de-duplicated, so you get the whole board. Relative dates are converted to ISO timestamps. With fetchDetails on, each job gets its exact posting date, hiring organization name, description, pay range and every listed location.

What you get

• The whole board, including sites past the 2,000-job cap. Tested on a 2,763-job board.
• Pay ranges parsed from the posting when the employer publishes them ("Primary Location Base Pay Range: $168,000 USD - $252,000 USD" becomes salaryMin, salaryMax, salaryCurrency, salaryPeriod).
• Only-new mode. Run it on a schedule and get only postings that were not on the board last time. You pay only for jobs that are output.
• Filters that run before billing and before detail requests: title keywords, exclude words, locations, remote only, posted within N days. A 2,000-job board filtered to one city costs a few dozen detail requests, not 2,000.
• Fail soft. One moved or renamed board is logged and skipped; the rest of the run completes.

Finding a Workday career site

Open the company's careers page and click any job. If the address bar shows myworkdayjobs.com, paste that address as a source; the actor trims it to the board. Typical shapes:

Shape	Example
Board URL	https://workday.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/Workday
With a language segment	https://workday.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/Workday
A job page	https://carrier.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/jobs/job/Atlanta/Project-Manager_30123
Short form	workday.wd5/Workday

The tenant (workday), the Workday data center (wd5) and the site (Workday) are all in the URL. Nothing else is needed. If a board returns HTTP 422, the site name is wrong; copy it from a job page URL on that site.

Input

{
  "sources": [
    "https://workday.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/Workday",
    "https://carrier.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/jobs"
  ],
  "keywords": ["accountant", "financial analyst", "controller"],
  "locations": ["Atlanta", "Georgia", "GA"],
  "postedWithinDays": 14,
  "fetchDetails": true,
  "onlyNew": true
}

Field	Type	Default	What it does
preset	string	custom	Employer list: custom (default), sample, georgia-sc. custom runs the sites you list and falls back to the sample boards when the list is empty
sources	string[]	[]	Workday career-site URLs or tenant.wdN/site identifiers
keywords	string[]	[]	Keep jobs whose title contains any of these (case-insensitive)
excludeKeywords	string[]	[]	Drop jobs whose title contains any of these
locations	string[]	[]	Keep jobs whose location text contains any of these
departments	string[]	[]	Reserved; Workday list pages do not expose a department
remoteOnly	boolean	false	Keep only jobs Workday flags as remote or whose location says remote
postedWithinDays	integer	0	Keep only jobs posted in the last N days; 0 disables. "30+ Days Ago" postings pass unless fetchDetails is on
fetchDetails	boolean	false	One extra request per job (after filtering) for description, exact date, hiring organization, pay range, additional locations
includeDescriptionHtml	boolean	false	Add the raw HTML description next to the plain text (needs fetchDetails)
onlyNew	boolean	false	Output only jobs not seen on a previous run of this source
seenStoreName	string	workday-job-scraper-seen	Key-value store that remembers seen job IDs; use one name per monitor
maxJobsPerSource	integer	0	Stop after N jobs per board; 0 means the whole board
maxConcurrency	integer	5	Boards pulled in parallel

Output

One record per job.

A RUN_SUMMARY record in the default key-value store reports boards processed, jobs fetched, filtered, de-duplicated, skipped as already seen, and any board failures with the error text.

Pricing

Pay per event. You are charged per job record written to the dataset, plus a small actor-start event. Filtered-out jobs and already-seen jobs in only-new mode are not charged. No proxies are needed, so platform usage is minimal: a 2,000-job board costs about 100 list requests and a few cents of platform usage.

Monitoring new postings

1. Set onlyNew to true and give seenStoreName a name for this monitor.
2. Add your filters.
3. Schedule the actor (daily is enough; Workday boards change slowly).
4. Connect the dataset to Google Sheets, Slack, Make, Zapier or a webhook from the Integrations tab.

The first run outputs everything on the boards and remembers it. Each later run outputs only what is new.

Limits and notes

• Public job-board endpoints only. No login, no proxies, no candidate or private data.
• A few employers block datacenter traffic at the network edge and return HTTP 500 for every request. That board is reported in RUN_SUMMARY and the run continues.
• Very large boards with coarse facets may still miss a handful of postings above the 2,000 cap.
• This actor reads Workday career sites only. For Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby or SmartRecruiters, or for a mixed list where you do not know the ATS, use the FinData Career Site Job Scraper.

For AI agents

Every field is optional: an empty input {} runs the sample boards and returns jobs, so a first call never fails. Pick "preset": "sample" to say so explicitly, or "preset": "georgia-sc" for the curated Georgia and upstate SC employer list. Minimal call: { "sources": ["https://workday.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/Workday"] }. Add "keywords" and "locations" arrays to narrow, "fetchDetails": true for descriptions and pay. Every record has the same fields; jobId is the stable key.

Using it from code

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor('findata/workday-job-scraper').call({
    sources: ['https://workday.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/Workday'],
    keywords: ['engineer'],
    fetchDetails: true,
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();

Works the same through the Apify API, MCP server and the Python client.
