Workday Jobs Scraper

Get every open role from any Workday careers site.

Paste the careers URL — https://nvidia.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite — and this Actor reads the official public job-board API that the company's own careers page calls, and returns clean, flat JSON.

No browser. No cookies. No proxies. No blocking.

Input:   ["https://nvidia.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite"]
Output:  2,000 rows — title, location, remote flag, requisition ID, URL

Why this one

Workday runs the careers site of a large share of the world's biggest employers, and those boards are big: NVIDIA publishes about 2,000 open roles, Salesforce about 1,530, Cisco about 1,180 (measured 2026-08-22).

Most scrapers render those pages in a headless browser and parse HTML, which is slow, gets blocked, and breaks whenever the page changes. This Actor talks to the same JSON endpoint the page itself uses, so it is fast and it does not break.

Workday returns 20 roles per request. A 2,000-role board is therefore 100 requests. This Actor reads the total up front and fetches the remaining pages in parallel, which takes a full 2,000-role board from minutes down to about 16 seconds.

Input

Field	Type	Default	What it does
careerSites	array of strings	one example site	Workday careers URLs. A link to a single job works too — the site is taken from it
keyword	string	—	Keep only roles whose title matches any of these words
location	string	—	Keep only roles whose location contains any of these words
remoteOnly	boolean	false	Keep only roles whose location mentions remote
includeDescription	boolean	false	Also fetch each role's detail page — see below
maxJobsPerSite	integer	0 (no limit)	Cap roles per site
maxTotalJobs	integer	0 (no limit)	Cap the whole run — use this to cap cost

Finding the careers URL

Open the company's job search page. If the address bar shows something.wdn.myworkdayjobs.com/SiteName, that is the URL to paste. Some employers put a branded domain in front of it (jobs.example.com); in that case, click through to a single job and copy the myworkdayjobs.com URL that appears.

The Workday tenant cannot be derived from a company domain — nvidia.com gives no hint that the board lives at nvidia.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com. That is why this Actor asks for the URL rather than pretending to guess.

About includeDescription

Workday's listing endpoint is deliberately thin. It gives the title, location, requisition ID and a relative date (Posted Yesterday, returned as postedLabel).

Turn includeDescription on and the Actor also reads each role's detail page, which adds:

• description — the full job description as plain text
• publishedAt — a real ISO date
• employmentType — e.g. Full time

That is one extra request per role, so on a 2,000-role board it is much slower. Pair it with maxJobsPerSite when you only need details for the newest roles.

A SUMMARY record is written to the key-value store listing every site that was read, the tenant and site name it resolved to, and how many roles matched your filters.

Pricing

You pay for roles, not for attempts.

	Price
Starting a run	$0.00001 (one US cent per 1,000 runs — effectively nothing)
Each role returned	$0.002 ($2 per 1,000 roles)

If a URL cannot be read, no rows are produced, so there is nothing to pay for. Errors are written to the log and to SUMMARY, never to the dataset, specifically so a failed run does not appear on your bill.

A full 2,000-role board costs about $4. Use maxTotalJobs to cap a run.

Typical uses

• Talent intelligence — watch which teams a large employer is growing, and where.
• Job aggregators — pull a curated list of big employers on a schedule.
• Market research — measure hiring velocity across an industry over time.
• Job seekers — track a shortlist of employers and catch roles the day they open.

Notes on data and compliance

• Only the public, unauthenticated job-board endpoint is used. Nothing behind a login is touched.
• Job postings are company business information, not personal data. No candidate or employee data is collected.
• No bot protection is bypassed and no rate limits are circumvented; the Actor backs off on 429.

Limitations — stated up front

• A careers URL is required. A bare company domain is not enough, for the reason given above.
• publishedAt and employmentType are empty unless includeDescription is enabled — Workday does not put them in the listing.
• location is free text as the employer wrote it (US, CA, Santa Clara, or 2 Locations when a role spans several). It is not normalised.
• Salary is not published in Workday's public endpoints, so it is not returned.

Other ATS platforms

If the company is not on Workday, use Company Jobs Scraper — same approach, for Greenhouse, Ashby, Lever, SmartRecruiters, Rippling and Personio, and it detects the platform from a company domain.
