Workday Jobs Scraper

Workday Jobs Scraper extracts job postings from any company career site hosted on myworkdayjobs.com and returns one row per posting: title, company, location, posted date, job ID, URL and the full description as plain text. Give it a career-site URL or a tenant name, and filter by keyword, location and posting age.

What does Workday Jobs Scraper do?

Thousands of employers run their careers page on Workday. Each one is a separate site with its own address, so collecting postings across companies means opening every site by hand. This Actor reads the same public job search the career site itself uses and writes every posting to one dataset.

• Input: one or more career-site URLs such as https://nvidia.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite, or a bare tenant name such as adobe.
• Output: one row per job posting with 19 fields, including the full description text.
• Filters: keyword, location and "posted within N days".
• No login, no API key, no proxy setup. The Actor reads public pages only.

It was run on Apify against four employers on 2026-10-02 (NVIDIA, Adobe, Mastercard and Salesforce). Each run returned real postings, and the title, job ID and posted date of the checked rows matched the employer's own posting page.

What Workday jobs data can you extract?

Field	What it holds	Example from a real run

company	Hiring organization named on the posting. This is often a legal entity.	2100 NVIDIA USA
tenant	The employer's Workday tenant name	nvidia
careerSite	The career site the posting came from	NVIDIAExternalCareerSite
jobId	The employer's requisition ID	JR2026138
jobPostingId	Workday's posting identifier	Senior-Compiler-Engineer--Agentic-Compiler-Systems_JR2026138-1
location	Primary location	US, CA, Santa Clara
additionalLocations	Other locations for the same posting	["US, TX, Austin", "US, TX, Remote"]
country	Country of the posting	United States of America
remoteType	Remote or office label, when the employer publishes one	Remote Customer-Based

scrapedAt	When the row was read	2026-10-02T05:20:11.838Z

A field the employer does not publish is null. The Actor never fills a gap with a guess. In the four test runs closingDate was empty on 19 of 20 postings and remoteType on 15 of 20, because most employers do not publish them.

How to scrape Workday jobs

1. Open the employer's careers page and copy the address. It looks like https://<company>.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/<SiteName>.
2. Paste it into Workday career sites. Add more sites if you want several employers in one run.
3. Optionally set a keyword, a location and a maximum posting age.
4. Set Maximum postings. This is also your cost ceiling.
5. Start the run and download the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read it from the Apify API.

If you only know the company's tenant name, enter that instead of a URL. The Actor finds the tenant's host and reads every public career site that host lists in its robots.txt.

How much does it cost to scrape Workday jobs?

$0.002 per job posting delivered, which is $2.00 per 1,000 postings. Starting a run costs $0.00001.

Postings delivered	Cost
100	$0.20
1,000	$2.00
10,000	$20.00

You pay only for postings written to the dataset. A site that cannot be reached, a tenant name that does not resolve, or a search with no matching posting costs nothing beyond the start fee. In the test run with a tenant name that does not exist, the charge for postings was zero.

The price is the same on every Apify plan. If you set a maximum charge for the run, the Actor stops when that limit is reached and says so in the log.

Input example

{
    "sites": ["https://nvidia.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite"],
    "keyword": "compiler",
    "maxItems": 5
}

Field	Type	What it does
sites	list of strings, required	Career-site URLs or tenant names
keyword	string	Sent to the site's own search box
location	string	A country, a city or Remote. Matched against the site's own location filters first. If the site has no filter with that name, it is matched against each posting's location text.
postedWithinDays	integer	Keeps postings whose posting date is at most this many days old
maxItems	integer, default 100	Stops the run after this many postings across all sites
includeDescriptionHtml	boolean, default false	Adds the original HTML next to the plain text

Each run also writes an OUTPUT record to the key-value store. It lists every site, how many postings the site reported, how many were delivered, which location filter was applied, and the reason for any site that was skipped.

Limits you should know

• 2,000 postings per search. Workday serves at most 2,000 postings for one search on one site. On a larger site, run several searches with different keywords or locations. The log warns you when a site reports 2,000.
• Maximum postings applies to the whole run. With several sites and a low limit, the first site can use the whole limit. Raise the limit or run one site per run.
• Tenant names. A bare tenant name is tried on 21 known Workday hosts. If none answers, the entry is skipped at no charge. Use the full URL in that case.
• Location text. Location names differ between employers. Canada on one site is Ontario - Remote on another. The OUTPUT record shows which of the site's own filter values matched.
• Posting date. postedDate is the posting's start date as the employer publishes it.

Is it legal to scrape Workday job postings?

The Actor reads job postings that employers publish for anyone to see, without logging in. Before reading a site it fetches that site's robots.txt and skips any career site the file disallows. It reads at most four postings at a time and does not collect applicant or account data. Job descriptions belong to the employers who wrote them, so check how you plan to reuse the text. If you are unsure whether your use is allowed, ask a lawyer.

FAQ

Can I run it on a schedule? Yes. Use an Apify schedule with postedWithinDays set to your interval to collect new postings only.

Does it work for any company? It works for career sites on myworkdayjobs.com. It was tested on four employers. A company that hosts its careers page elsewhere is out of scope.

Why is company a strange name like "2100 NVIDIA USA"? That is the hiring organization as the employer entered it in Workday. Use tenant when you need a short, stable company key.

A site returned nothing. Was I charged? No. Only delivered postings are charged. The OUTPUT record states the reason.
