Workday Jobs Scraper: Fortune 500 & Enterprise Career Portals

Scrape job postings directly from Fortune 500 & enterprise Workday career portals (*.myworkdayjobs.com) via the CXS JSON API. Fast, no browser, $1.50/1k.

What it does

Extracts structured enterprise job listings, requisition IDs, locations, posting dates, and full descriptions from any Workday career portal (*.myworkdayjobs.com). Export clean, deduplicated data as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or RSS, or connect directly via the Apify REST API, Python/JavaScript SDKs, CLI, MCP Server, n8n, Make, or Zapier — with no login, cookies, or browser overhead.

Use cases

• Recruiting Agency & Job Board Aggregation: Pull live requisitions (jobReqId, title, locationsText, postedOn, url) across dozens of Fortune 500 Workday career sites in seconds.
• B2B Buying-Signal & Hiring-Velocity Tracking: Monitor enterprise engineering, AI, security, or GTM hiring surges as an intent signal for outbound B2B sales.
• Full Description & Skill Parsing: Enable includeDescription: true to fetch clean jobDescriptionText, timeType, startDate, and country from each posting's detail endpoint.
• Incremental Job Alerts: Schedule hourly or daily runs with onlyNew: true to trigger Slack, webhook, or CRM alerts only when new requisitions open.

Pricing (Pay-Per-Result)

This Actor uses transparent Pay-Per-Event pricing with a $0.00 actor-start fee:

Event	What is charged	Price
job-result	Workday job scraped (One enterprise Workday job posting)	$0.0015 / result ($1.50 / 1,000 results)
apify-actor-start	Actor start fee	$0.00

Concrete pricing math

• job-result (Workday job scraped): 1,000 results = $1.50 (50 results = $0.07, 10,000 results = $15.00). Apify's $5.00/month Free Tier covers up to 3,333 results/month at $0.00 out-of-pocket.
• Empty runs (0 results) & skipped duplicates (onlyNew / onlyChanged): $0.00.

Data and compliance

Public enterprise Workday career portal JSON endpoints (/wday/cxs/) only. Zero personal candidate data or login required. Requests are rate-limited and routed through Apify Proxy. Per-input errors are recorded in the run's ERRORS key-value record and are never charged.

FAQ

Do I need an account, login, or API key?
No. This Actor queries public endpoints directly and requires zero credentials.

What happens if I start a run with empty {} input via API or CLI?
Every required input defines both prefill and default values in .actor/input_schema.json, so an empty {} run automatically returns 50+ live records out of the box.
