Workday Jobs Scraper + Monitor

Scrape open jobs from a company's Workday career site and optionally see which roles are new since your last run. Paste *.myworkdayjobs.com careers URLs and get clean, normalized job data. Uses Workday's public CXS JSON API (the same feed that powers the careers UI). No browser, no login, and usually no proxies.

Pairs with the Greenhouse / Lever / Ashby Jobs Scraper + Monitor for non-Workday ATS boards, and the Shopify Products.json Scraper — Price & Stock Monitor for ecommerce catalogs.

A RUN_SUMMARY record in the run key-value store lists every company with status and counts.

Monitor mode

• State lives in key-value store workday-jobs-monitor-state under your Monitor state key.
• First run: all matching jobs as new, or baseline-only if Skip existing on first run is on.
• Later runs: only new (and optionally closed) jobs.
• Jobs not output because of max/budget caps are not marked seen, so the next run delivers them.

Pricing

$1.50 per 1,000 jobs, pay per result (pay-per-event). You pay only for jobs saved to your dataset, plus a tiny Apify start fee per run ($0.00005). There is no monthly rental, and in monitor mode you pay only for new or closed jobs.

Apify plan discount	Price per 1,000 jobs
Free / Starter	$1.50
Bronze	$1.40
Silver	$1.25
Gold and above	$1.00

Examples at $1.50 / 1,000:

• Sample of 1 company × 50 jobs ≈ $0.075.
• A daily monitor of 50 Workday sites that finds ~30 new jobs/day ≈ 900 jobs/month ≈ $1.35/month.

Set Max jobs in total or the run's maximum cost to cap spending. The run stops gracefully when either limit is reached.

FAQ

How do I find the Workday tenant / site URL?

Open the company's public careers page. The address bar is usually https://{tenant}.wd{N}.myworkdayjobs.com/{siteId} (sometimes with an en-US locale segment). Paste that URL; do not use the internal Workday HCM login host.

Do I need proxies?

Usually no. Most public CXS boards work without Apify Proxy. Some tenants return 422/401; those are reported as not_found in RUN_SUMMARY.

Why did a large board time out?

Descriptions require one CXS detail request per job. For Try / sample runs, set Include job description to false and use Max jobs per company / Max jobs in total (e.g. 5–20). List page size is 20 (Workday API limit).

Is it legal to scrape Workday career sites?

This Actor only reads public job postings via Workday's public CXS JSON API that powers careers UIs. It does not access authenticated HCM data or candidate profiles. You are responsible for lawful use and employer terms.

Can I get data into Google Sheets, Slack or my CRM?

Yes. Use Apify integrations or webhooks. A common setup is a daily schedule in monitor mode that only emits new/closed jobs.

Which boards are not supported?

Authenticated / internal Workday tenants, and some CXS endpoints that reject anonymous access. Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable and Recruitee are covered by the sibling ATS Actor.

Limitations

• Public CXS boards only. Does not access authenticated Workday HCM / internal tenant data.
• Some tenants return 422/401 on CXS (e.g. certain Microsoft-style sites). Those are reported as not_found in RUN_SUMMARY.
• Descriptions need one detail request per job. Turn Include job description off for fast list-only runs.
• List page size is 20 (Workday API limit). Large boards (1k–2k+ jobs) take more wall time.
• Salary is rarely exposed on CXS; fields are reserved/null.
• Department is often missing on the public list/detail payloads used here.
• Bare company names without a site id are not auto-discovered; pass a full careers URL.
