## Pricing

from $1.00 / 1,000 workday jobs

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.

## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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/docs.md):

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

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


# README

## Workday Jobs API & Hiring Signals

Extract live public job postings from one or many `*.myworkdayjobs.com` career sites. The Actor uses the career site's own JSON responses, normalizes inconsistent fields, applies bounded filters, and can emit one deterministic hiring summary per employer site.

No Workday login, customer API key, LLM key, or proxy is required for ordinary runs.

### Why use this Actor

- Collect real-time jobs from URLs you choose instead of querying a stale third-party job database.
- Get job descriptions, requisition IDs, time type, dates, remote labels, and application URLs when the source publishes them.
- Search on the Workday server, then apply repeatable title/description/location filters locally.
- Monitor multiple employers with per-site and global caps.
- Preserve missing source fields as `null` instead of inventing values.
- Inspect partial failures in `RUN_SUMMARY` without losing valid sites.

### Input example

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    "https://workday.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/Workday?q=engineer"
  ],
  "maxJobs": 25,
  "scanLimitPerSite": 100,
  "includeDetails": true,
  "keywords": ["python", "machine learning"],
  "excludeKeywords": ["manager"],
  "locations": [],
  "remoteOnly": false,
  "includeSummary": true
}
````

Use the employer's public career-board URL. URLs must use HTTPS on `*.myworkdayjobs.com`; employee portals, arbitrary domains, credentials, and custom ports are rejected.

`?q=` in a URL takes priority over the global `searchText`. `scanLimitPerSite` is a hard cost guardrail: local filters can only inspect the listings that were scanned.

### Job output

```json
{
  "recordType": "job",
  "source": "workday",
  "tenant": "workday",
  "site": "Workday",
  "companyName": null,
  "jobId": "...",
  "requisitionId": "JR-0103461",
  "title": "LLM Engineer",
  "location": "Israel, Tel Aviv",
  "country": "Israel",
  "remoteType": "Flex",
  "workplaceType": "hybrid",
  "timeType": "Full time",
  "postedAt": "2026-06-01T00:00:00Z",
  "postedOnText": "Posted 30+ Days Ago",
  "descriptionText": "...",
  "descriptionHtml": "...",
  "applicationUrl": "https://...",
  "sourcePageUrl": "https://...",
  "sourceApiUrl": "https://...",
  "externalPath": "/job/...",
  "contentHash": "...",
  "collectedAt": "2026-07-17T00:00:00Z",
  "raw": null
}
```

Workday tenants expose different fields. Unknown means `null`; `companyName` is intentionally not guessed from the tenant slug.

### Hiring summaries

When `includeSummary` is enabled, a free `hiring-summary` row follows each readable site. It contains source, matched, published, explicitly remote, and location counts. A run-level record is also saved to `RUN_SUMMARY` with:

- successful and failed sites;
- discovered, matched, and published jobs;
- detail requests and isolated detail failures;
- the customer's PPE charge-limit state.

### Cost controls

- Default memory: 256 MB.
- List pages contain at most 20 jobs per request.
- `scanLimitPerSite`, `maxJobsPerSite`, and `maxJobs` bound work and output.
- Set `includeDetails: false` for the cheapest title/location-only collection.
- No proxy or paid enrichment dependency is enabled.
- Store pricing is **$0.001 per published `workday_job`** (US$1.00 per 1,000 jobs), plus a one-time **$0.00005** `apify-actor-start` event per run; hiring summaries are included at no extra charge.

### Limitations

- This Actor supports public `myworkdayjobs.com` career boards, not authenticated Workday products.
- Workday's public career-site JSON route is not presented as a supported customer API. Tenants can change behavior independently.
- `postedOnText` may be relative. An exact `postedAt` is returned only when the detail response publishes one.
- Remote and hybrid labels are conservative: explicit `Remote`, `Flex`/`Hybrid`, or visible title/location text only.
- A successful run does not imply that every employer publishes every field.

### Responsible use

Collect public job data at reasonable rates and comply with applicable law, source terms, and the target employer's instructions. The Actor rejects arbitrary hosts and does not access logins or submit applications.

# Actor input Schema

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

Public \*.myworkdayjobs.com career-board URLs. A URL query such as ?q=engineer becomes that site's server-side search.

## `searchText` (type: `string`):

Optional server-side search used for URLs without their own ?q= value.

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

Global maximum number of job records written. Hiring summaries do not count toward this limit.

## `maxJobsPerSite` (type: `integer`):

Prevents one employer from consuming the whole result limit.

## `scanLimitPerSite` (type: `integer`):

Hard request-cost guardrail. Increase when selective local filters must inspect more candidates.

## `includeDetails` (type: `boolean`):

Fetch public detail JSON for descriptions, requisition IDs, time type, exact dates, and application URLs.

## `keywords` (type: `array`):

Keep jobs containing at least one term in title, location, or description. Blank means all jobs.

## `excludeKeywords` (type: `array`):

Drop jobs containing any term in title, location, or description.

## `locations` (type: `array`):

Keep jobs whose published location contains at least one term.

## `remoteOnly` (type: `boolean`):

Keep only jobs explicitly marked remote. Flex or hybrid is not treated as remote-only.

## `postedAfter` (type: `string`):

Optional inclusive UTC date. Jobs with an unknown exact date are preserved.

## `includeSummary` (type: `boolean`):

Write one summary per readable career site with source, match, remote, and location counts.

## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`):

Concurrent public site and detail requests.

## `requestTimeoutSecs` (type: `integer`):

Per-request timeout in seconds.

## `maxRetries` (type: `integer`):

Retries for rate limits, timeouts, and transient server errors.

## `includeRaw` (type: `boolean`):

Attach listing and detail JSON for debugging. This increases dataset size.
