## 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.

# README

## Workday Jobs Scraper

Extract job listings from any company's Workday careers page. If the URL ends in `.myworkdayjobs.com`, this scraper can pull it — title, location, posting date, job description, application link, and more.

No login. No browser. Just the Workday API doing what it was always doing, just more explicitly.

### What It Does

Point it at a Workday careers URL and it pages through every listing. Works on any tenant — Microsoft, Amazon, Google, or a mid-sized SaaS company that adopted Workday last quarter. The API structure is the same regardless of company size.

Input a URL like `https://microsoft.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/microsoftcareers`, optionally filter by keyword, and get back structured job records.

### Input

| Field | Required | Description |
|-------|----------|-------------|
| Workday Careers URL | Yes | The full URL of the company's Workday careers page |
| Search Keywords | No | Optional keyword filter (e.g. "engineer", "product manager") |
| Max Items | No | Cap on results. 0 = no cap |

**Finding the right URL:** Navigate to a company's careers page, look for a URL containing `.myworkdayjobs.com`, and paste that in. The locale prefix (`/en-US/`) and job board name are parsed automatically.

### Output

Each job record includes:

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `job_id` | Workday requisition ID |
| `title` | Job title |
| `location` | Primary location |
| `locations` | All posting locations (pipe-separated) |
| `posted_date` | Date the job was posted |
| `closing_date` | Application deadline, if set |
| `job_type` | Employment type (Full time, Part time, etc.) |
| `job_family` | Department/job family category |
| `description` | Full job description (HTML) |
| `apply_url` | Direct link to the application page |
| `company` | Tenant name derived from the URL |
| `scraped_at` | Timestamp of the scrape |

### How to Find a Workday URL

Workday career pages follow a consistent pattern:

````

https://{company}.wd{n}.myworkdayjobs.com/{locale}/{job-board}

````

Examples:
- `https://amazon.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/External_Career_Site`
- `https://apple.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/apple-careers`
- `https://hubspot.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/HubSpot_Careers`

If you land on a company's careers page and see a URL in this format, it will work. Companies sometimes use custom domains that redirect to Workday — follow the redirect to get the actual `.myworkdayjobs.com` URL.

### Performance

Uses Workday's native JSON API. No browser rendering, no HTML parsing. Fast, lightweight, and stable — 512 MB memory is sufficient for most runs.

Respects the platform with a 300ms delay between pages.

### Common Questions

**Does it scrape job descriptions?**
Yes. Full HTML content of each job description is included in the `description` field.

**Can I scrape multiple companies?**
Run the scraper once per company URL. Each run targets a single Workday careers board.

**What if I get 0 results?**
If Workday is in a maintenance window, all requests return HTTP 422 and no jobs are extracted. This is a platform-level event, not a configuration problem. Wait and retry. You can also verify by visiting the company's careers URL directly — if it shows a maintenance page, that confirms it.

**Does it work with non-English job boards?**
Yes. Locale prefixes (`/en-US/`, `/de-DE/`, `/fr-FR/`, etc.) are stripped automatically. The job content is returned in whatever language the company uses.
