Workday Jobs Scraper — Auto-Find Any Company Job Board API

What does Workday Jobs Scraper do?

This Actor scrapes job postings from Workday, SmartRecruiters, and Workable career sites and returns every listing in one normalized JSON schema. The headline feature: just type the company name. Give it "NVIDIA" or "sanofi.com" and the Actor auto-resolves the Workday tenant and career site for you — no hunting for wd1/wd5/wd103 subdomains or guessing site slugs. Optionally filter by title keyword, location, remote status, or posting date, and export as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

Every other Workday scraper makes you supply the full tenant URL (https://<tenant>.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/<site>), which is the single biggest friction in the niche because Workday's hosts and site names are inconsistent. This Actor probes the known Workday hosts (wd1, wd2, wd3, wd5, wd12, wd103) and reads each site's own discovery signals to find the real career site automatically. If a company can't be resolved, you get an honest no-tenant-found item listing every host and slug tried — never a guessed tenant, never a silent empty result. And failed resolutions are free.

It reads the vendors' public, unauthenticated career-site feeds — the same data the public careers page shows. No login, no API key, no browser automation (which also makes it fast and cheap to run).

Running on Apify means you also get scheduling, an HTTP API for every run, webhooks, native n8n and Make integrations, and export to JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML out of the box.

Why use this Workday scraper?

• Company name in, jobs out. No other Workday jobs API resolves a tenant from a plain company name or domain. Paste a watchlist of company names and go.
• One schema across three ATS. Workday, SmartRecruiters, and Workable output is normalized into identical fields — the exact same schema as our Greenhouse / Lever / Ashby scraper, so the two Actors are drop-in interchangeable and together cover six major ATS vendors.
• Per-company failure isolation. One unresolvable or broken company never breaks the rest of the run.
• Built for feeds. Stable IDs, missing fields always null (never absent), exact caps, and honest per-company reporting.

What this costs for your actual job

Say you track 5 companies by name and a typical pull nets 1,000 published jobs after your filters. That run costs 5 × $0.002 (tenant resolutions) + 1,000 × $0.002 (jobs) = $2.01. Tenant resolutions are cached, and cached resolutions on later runs are free — a scheduled daily feed pays the resolution fee once per company, not once per run. You're also never charged for resolution when you supply the tenant or URL yourself or when resolution fails, and never charged for jobs your filters exclude.

Who uses this?

• Job aggregators and job boards — Workday hosts the careers pages of thousands of large enterprises; pull them on a schedule.
• Recruiting and talent intelligence — track competitor hiring, department growth, and new openings at Fortune 500 employers.
• Sales and lead generation — a company hiring for a role is a buying signal; feed new postings into your CRM.
• "Who's hiring" newsletters and remote-job sites — filter by remoteOnly and keywords, export to CSV, done.

How to scrape Workday job postings

1. Open the Actor and go to the Input tab.
2. List your companies — plain names or domains (NVIDIA, sanofi.com), full Workday career URLs, or explicit entries (workday:tenant:site, smartrecruiters:Visa, workable:netguru).
3. Optionally set filters (title keywords, location substrings, remote-only, posted-after date, max jobs per company).
4. Click Start. Jobs land in the run's dataset, one item per posting.

To keep a feed fresh, add an Apify Schedule (e.g. daily) — no code needed.

Input example

{
    "companies": ["NVIDIA", "sanofi.com", "smartrecruiters:Visa", "workable:netguru"],
    "titleKeywords": ["engineer"],
    "locationContains": [],
    "remoteOnly": false,
    "postedAfter": "2026-07-01",
    "includeDescription": false,
    "maxJobsPerCompany": 0
}

• All filters are optional and AND-ed. maxJobsPerCompany is respected exactly (0 = unlimited) — you're only charged for jobs pushed after filters and the cap.
• includeDescription fetches the full HTML description (one extra request per job on Workday and SmartRecruiters; free on Workable, whose feed already includes it). On Workday it also upgrades publishedAt to the exact posting date and locations to the real list of places.
• postedAfter keeps jobs published on or after an ISO date; jobs with an unknown publish date are kept rather than silently dropped (turn on includeDescription for exact Workday dates).

Output example

One dataset item per job:

{
    "id": "workday:nvidia:JR2000371",
    "ats": "workday",
    "board": "nvidia/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite",
    "company": "NVIDIA",
    "title": "Senior Systems Software Engineer, GPU Cloud",
    "department": "Engineering",
    "team": null,
    "locations": ["US, CA, Santa Clara"],
    "remote": false,
    "url": "https://nvidia.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite/job/US-CA-Santa-Clara/Senior-Systems-Software-Engineer--GPU-Cloud_JR2000371",
    "publishedAt": "2026-07-21",
    "updatedAt": null,
    "compensation": null,
    "descriptionHtml": null,
    "scrapedAt": "2026-07-29T06:41:12.532Z"
}

You can download the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML, or read it via the Apify API.

Field	Meaning
id	Stable unique ID
ats / board / company	Source system, board/tenant identifier, company display name
title, department, team	As published by the employer (null when the ATS doesn't provide it)
locations	All published locations as an array of strings
remote	true if the ATS marks the job remote (Workday: "remote" detected in title or location)
publishedAt / updatedAt	Posting timestamps when the ATS exposes them (null otherwise)
compensation	The published pay range as text, never parsed or converted (null if unpublished)
descriptionHtml	Full HTML description when includeDescription is on
scrapedAt	When this Actor collected the item

If a company can't be resolved to a Workday tenant, the run continues and you get an explicit no-tenant-found item naming every host and slug tried — free of charge — so you always know the difference between "no jobs" and "wrong company entry".

Use it via API, n8n, Make, or LangChain

Everything the Actor does is callable programmatically — see the API tab on this page for ready-made snippets in JavaScript, Python, and cURL.

• HTTP API — start a run and fetch results in one call with the run-sync endpoint: POST https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/fourwake~workday-jobs-api/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_TOKEN with the input JSON as the request body. The response body is the job list.
• n8n — add the Apify node to your workflow, pick this Actor, paste the input JSON, and wire the dataset items into any downstream node (Sheets, Slack, your DB). See Apify's n8n integration docs.
• Make (Integromat) — use the Apify app's "Run an Actor" module the same way (Make integration docs).
• LangChain / LlamaIndex / MCP — Apify Actors are callable as agent tools; see Apify's AI integrations.
• Webhooks — fire a webhook on run completion to push new jobs into your own endpoint (webhooks docs).

Use from an AI assistant / MCP

This Actor is callable as a tool by any MCP-compatible AI assistant (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and others) via Apify's MCP server. Point your assistant's MCP client at https://mcp.apify.com (or add the Apify MCP server in Claude Desktop/Claude Code), then ask it to run fourwake/workday-jobs-api with your company list — the assistant handles the input JSON and reads the resulting dataset directly. No code required on your side.

How much does it cost to scrape Workday jobs?

Pricing is pay-per-event:

• $0.002 per job pushed — charged only for jobs that pass your filters and cap and land in the dataset. Filtered-out jobs and failed companies cost nothing.
• $0.002 per resolved tenant — charged once per company successfully resolved from a plain name or domain to its Workday tenant. Failed resolutions are free, and you're never charged for entries where you supplied the tenant or URL yourself.

Resolving 5 companies and pulling 1,000 jobs = 5 × $0.002 + 1,000 × $0.002 = $2.01. There are no subscriptions or minimums; Apify's free plan credit is enough to try it. The Actor uses no browser, so platform compute costs stay minimal too.

Honest limits (v1)

• Three ATS here: Workday, SmartRecruiters, Workable. For Greenhouse, Lever, and Ashby, use its sibling Job Board Feed API — same schema, same pricing, interchangeable output.
• Tenant auto-resolution covers the known Workday host patterns (wd1/wd2/wd3/wd5/wd12/wd103). Some tenants use unusual setups; if resolution fails, pass the career URL or workday:tenant:site explicitly — that path always works and skips the resolution fee.
• Workday's list feed publishes relative dates; publishedAt is exact only with includeDescription on. Remote detection on Workday is heuristic (title/location mention).
• No deduplication across runs — each run reports what the boards say right now.

Politeness and data source

All data comes from the vendors' public, unauthenticated career-site feeds — the same endpoints that power each company's public careers page, published so listings can be found and syndicated. The Actor still behaves conservatively: low request concurrency, gentle per-host pacing, and minimal retries. Public data only; no logins, no personal data.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find a company's Workday tenant URL?

You don't have to — that's the point. Enter the company name or domain and the Actor probes the known Workday hosts and discovers the career site for you. If you already have the URL (e.g. https://nvidia.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite), pass it directly and skip the (already tiny) resolution fee.

Does the Workday jobs API need an API key?

No. Workday, SmartRecruiters, and Workable all serve their customers' public postings through unauthenticated feeds — that's what this Actor reads. You never need credentials, and nothing is scraped from rendered HTML with a browser.

What happens if a company can't be resolved?

You get a free, explicit no-tenant-found item listing every Workday host and slug the Actor tried, and the rest of the run completes normally. You are never billed for failed resolutions, and the Actor never guesses a tenant.

Can I export the jobs to CSV or Excel?

Yes. Every run's dataset can be downloaded as JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML from the Apify Console or via the API — no extra steps.

Can I monitor Workday job postings on a schedule?

Yes. Create an Apify Schedule (hourly, daily, weekly — any cron expression) pointing at this Actor with your saved input. Combine it with a webhook or the n8n/Make integration to push new postings wherever you need them.

How is this different from other Workday scrapers?

Two ways. First, every other Workday actor requires the tenant URL; this one resolves it from the company name. Second, output is normalized into the same schema as our multi-ATS jobs actor, so one pipeline covers Workday, SmartRecruiters, Workable, Greenhouse, Lever, and Ashby without branching per vendor.

Is scraping Workday job postings legal?

The Actor reads only data employers deliberately publish through their public career sites, intended to be found by candidates. As with any data tool, you are responsible for how you use the results.
