It has two run modes. 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. Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md. ## 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. Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run. For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below. Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`). # README ## Workday Jobs Scraper - Any Workday Career Site Read the open jobs of **any company that hires through Workday** and get them as clean, normalized JSON, CSV or Excel: title, department, location(s), remote flag, employment type, posting date, salary when published, full description (text and HTML) and apply link. No API key, no proxy, no browser and no login needed. **Two modes.** *Companies mode*: you list Workday companies (`.wd/`, taken from the career site URL, e.g. `nvidia.wd5/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite`) and get all their jobs. *Discovery mode*: leave Companies empty and the Actor scans the bundled directory of Workday companies (biggest boards first, `maxCompanies` default 200) and filters the jobs live. Need other systems too? Use the [Career Site Jobs Scraper](https://apify.com/nexus-scrapers/career-site-jobs), which covers Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable, Recruitee, Personio and Workday. **The directory**: 901 Workday company job boards, each checked live when the directory was built, with about 230,000 open jobs between them at that time. Companies not in the directory can always be read in Companies mode. ### Who is it for - **Recruiters and sourcers** who want a clean list of open roles at target companies, with location, department and salary. - **Job boards, newsletters and aggregators** that need a fresh, structured feed taken from the employer's own career site. - **Market and talent analysts** tracking who is hiring, for what, where and at what pay. - **AI agents and MCP users**: every field is described in the dataset schema, so an agent can answer "which remote data jobs were posted this week" from the output. ### What you get One dataset item per job: - `jobId`, `ats`, `companyId`, `companyName` - `title`, `department`, `team` - `location`, `locations[]`, `country`, `countryCode`, `isRemote`, `workplaceType` (remote / hybrid / onsite), `employmentType` - `postedAt`, `updatedAt` (ISO 8601, UTC) - `jobUrl`, `applyUrl` - `descriptionText` (clean text) and `descriptionHtml` - `salary` with `min`, `max`, `currency`, `period` and the original `raw` text, when the employer published a range - `scrapedAt`, `sourceUrl`, and an `extras` block with requisition id, posted label, time type, hiring organization Only what the employer publishes in the job posting is returned. Names and e-mail addresses are **not** extracted into separate fields. Full field reference: [SCHEMA.md](./SCHEMA.md) and the Actor's dataset schema. ### Input | Field | Description | |---|---| | `companies` | Workday careers URLs, `workday:id` entries or bare ids (`.wd/`, taken from the career site URL, e.g. `nvidia.wd5/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite`). Empty = Discovery mode | | `keywords` | Keep jobs whose **title** contains any of these words (case-insensitive) | | `excludeKeywords` | Drop jobs whose title contains any of these words | | `locations` | Keep jobs whose location or country contains any of these texts; `Remote` also matches remote-flagged jobs | | `remoteOnly` | Only jobs the employer marks as remote | | `postedWithinDays` | Only jobs first published in the last N days (0 = no limit; jobs with no date are excluded when set) | | `includeDescription` | Include description text and HTML (default true) | | `maxItems` | Maximum jobs, newest first (default 20) | | `maxCompanies` | Discovery mode: how many directory companies to scan (default 200) | Leaving the input empty reads one well-known company so the default run always works and returns 20 jobs in a few seconds. #### Input example (Companies mode) ```json { "companies": [ "nvidia.wd5/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite", "https://salesforce.wd12.myworkdayjobs.com/External_Career_Site" ], "keywords": [ "engineer" ], "locations": [ "Remote" ], "maxItems": 100 } ``` #### Input example (Discovery mode) ```json { "companies": [], "keywords": [ "data scientist" ], "remoteOnly": true, "postedWithinDays": 14, "maxCompanies": 100, "maxItems": 200 } ``` ### Output example ```json { "schemaVersion": "1.0", "jobId": "R0047449", "ats": "workday", "companyId": "snapchat.wd1/snap", "companyName": "Snapchat", "title": "Patent Counsel I", "department": null, "team": null, "location": "Los Angeles, California", "locations": [ "Los Angeles, California", "San Francisco, California" ], "country": "United States of America", "countryCode": "US", "isRemote": null, "workplaceType": null, "employmentType": "full_time", "postedAt": "2026-11-05T00:00:00+00:00", "updatedAt": null, "jobUrl": "https://wd1.myworkdaysite.com/recruiting/snapchat/snap/job/Los-Angeles-California/Patent-Counsel-I_R0047449-1", "applyUrl": "https://wd1.myworkdaysite.com/recruiting/snapchat/snap/job/Los-Angeles-California/Patent-Counsel-I_R0047449-1", "descriptionText": "Snap Inc is a technology company. We believe the camera presents the greatest opportunity to improve the way people live and communicate. Snap contributes to hu...", "descriptionHtml": "

We believe the camera p...", "salary": null, "scrapedAt": "2026-11-06T12:00:00+00:00", "sourceUrl": "https://snapchat.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/wday/cxs/snapchat/snap/job/Los-Angeles-California/Patent-Counsel-I_R0047449-1", "extras": { "requisitionId": "R0047449", "postedOnLabel": "Posted Yesterday", "postedAtApprox": false, "timeType": "Full time", "hiringOrganization": "Snap Inc." } } ``` ### Use cases - **Talent sourcing**: every open engineering role at 50 target companies, refreshed daily. - **Job aggregation**: a deduplicated feed of jobs taken from the employer's own site (stable job URLs and apply links). - **Hiring-trend research**: count open roles by department, country or remote policy over time (schedule the Actor and compare datasets). - **Pay transparency**: collect published salary ranges by role and country. - **AI agents (MCP)**: ask in plain language, get structured jobs back. ### Data sources - **Workday**: the JSON endpoint of Workday career sites (`.wd.myworkdayjobs.com/wday/cxs/...`), the same one the public career site calls. It is not a documented API: the Actor checks `robots.txt` of each host before every request and uses it only on hosts that allow it. All of these are public endpoints that need no account, key or login. The Actor identifies itself honestly with the User-Agent `NexusScrapers-CareerSiteJobs/0.1 (+https://nexus-tools-dev.github.io/)`, reads `robots.txt` of every host (including `Crawl-delay`), limits concurrency per host, and backs off and retries on HTTP 429/5xx, then skips the company with a warning. It uses no proxies, no browser and no captcha handling. The employers' postings remain their property; you are responsible for using the data in line with the employer's terms and applicable law (for example, do not use postings to contact individuals). ### Limits and good to know - **Workday**: Some Workday tenants answer HTTP 422 to this request and are skipped with a warning. With `includeDescription` off, `postedAt` is approximate (derived from the 'Posted N days ago' label). One request at a time per Workday host, 0.3 s apart. The list gives 20 jobs per request and no description, so descriptions cost one more request per job: they are fetched only for jobs that pass your title/location filters, at most `maxItems` per company. - Company websites: only the single page you give is read. If that page builds its job list with JavaScript and does not mention the job board in its HTML (many do not), no board is found: give the job-board URL instead. - Jobs are returned newest first within the companies scanned; in Discovery mode each company contributes at most max(10, maxItems/4) jobs, so results come from several companies, and scanning stops once enough matching jobs are collected. - `locations` and `keywords` are plain text matches on what the employer wrote (no translation, no synonyms). - A company that does not exist, has no open jobs or blocks access is skipped with a warning in the log; the run still succeeds if at least one company was read. ### FAQ **Do I need an API key or a proxy?** No. These are the public feeds the systems provide for career pages. **Is this legal?** The Actor only reads publicly available job postings through public endpoints that allow anonymous access, respects `robots.txt` and rate limits, and does not collect personal data. This is not legal advice; check your own use case. **How fresh is the data?** Live at run time: the feeds are read when the Actor runs. `postedAt` is the date the employer published the job. **Why is `salary` often empty?** Only some employers publish ranges. When they do, you get min, max, currency and period. **Can I get only new jobs since my last run?** Not built in yet; schedule the Actor and compare `jobId` values between runs, or use `postedWithinDays`. **What happens at the budget limit?** The Actor stops at `maxItems` or when your run's maximum charge is reached, and returns what it already collected. ### Pricing Pay per result: each job written to the dataset is one result. You are never charged for more results than `maxItems` or your run's spending limit allow. See the Actor's pricing tab for the current price. ### API, MCP and AI agents Call the Actor from the Apify API, the JavaScript or Python clients, or schedule it. The dataset schema documents every field, so MCP-enabled AI agents can use the output directly. # Actor input Schema ## `companies` (type: `array`): Workday companies to read: Workday career site URLs or bare company ids: `.wd/`, taken from the career site URL, e.g. `nvidia.wd5/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite`. Leave EMPTY to browse the bundled directory of Workday companies (Discovery mode). ## `keywords` (type: `array`): Keep jobs whose title contains ANY of these words (case-insensitive), e.g. engineer, data scientist. Empty = all jobs. ## `excludeKeywords` (type: `array`): Drop jobs whose title contains ANY of these words, e.g. intern, director. ## `locations` (type: `array`): Keep jobs whose location (or country) contains ANY of these texts, e.g. Berlin, Germany, United States. 'Remote' also matches jobs flagged as remote. Empty = everywhere. ## `remoteOnly` (type: `boolean`): Keep only jobs the employer marks as remote (or whose location says remote). ## `postedWithinDays` (type: `integer`): Keep only jobs first published in the last N days. 0 = no limit. Jobs without a publication date are excluded when this is set. ## `includeDescription` (type: `boolean`): Add the full description as clean text and HTML. Turn off for faster, lighter runs (on Workday this saves one request per job). ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum jobs to return (newest first). Also the cap on what you are charged for. For more than about 10,000 jobs with descriptions, start the run with 2 GB of memory or more (Run options). ## `maxCompanies` (type: `integer`): Discovery mode only: how many companies of the bundled directory to scan, biggest hiring boards first. ## Actor input object example ```json { "companies": [ "nvidia.wd5/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite", "https://salesforce.wd12.myworkdayjobs.com/External_Career_Site" ], "keywords": [ "engineer", "data scientist" ], "excludeKeywords": [ "intern" ], "locations": [ "Germany", "Remote" ], "remoteOnly": false, "postedWithinDays": 0, "includeDescription": true, "maxItems": 20, "maxCompanies": 200 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `overview` (type: `string`): All jobs in the default dataset, opened on the Overview table (posted, company, title, location, remote, salary, link). ## `details` (type: `string`): The same dataset opened on the Details view: ATS, company id, department, team, workplace type, apply link. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "companies": [ "nvidia.wd5/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite" ], "maxItems": 20 }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("nexus-scrapers/workday-jobs-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
