Workday Jobs Scraper: Extract Jobs from Any myworkdayjobs.com Career Site (Job Postings API)

Workday Jobs Scraper pulls every open job from any company's Workday career site (*.myworkdayjobs.com or *.myworkdaysite.com) and returns clean, structured job data: title, full description, all locations, country, remote type, time type, job category, exact posting date, requisition ID, job URL and apply link.

It reads the same public JSON API that the career sites use, so it is fast, cheap and reliable: no login, no browser and no proxy. You only pay for the jobs you get.

Thousands of large employers hire through Workday, including NVIDIA, Salesforce, Intel, Pfizer, Accenture, Capital One, Mastercard and Boeing. With one Actor you can scrape any of them, or hundreds at once.

What can this Workday scraper do?

• 🏢 Scrape any Workday career site. Paste one or many URLs, from any wdN data center (wd1, wd3, wd5, wd12, wd103...). Locale URLs (/en-US/), search URLs, single job links and myworkdaysite.com/recruiting/... links all work.
• 🔓 Get more than 2,000 jobs per site. Workday stops every search at 2,000 results. This scraper detects the cap and automatically splits the search using the site's own filters, then merges and de-duplicates the results. In testing it returned 2,711 of 2,711 jobs at NVIDIA and 38,726 at Accenture.
• 📄 Full job details. You get the description as both HTML and clean plain text, plus the exact posting date, requisition ID, time type, remote type, country with ISO code, all additional locations and the hiring entity.
• 🎯 Filter on Workday's side, by name. Filter by locations: ["Germany", "Remote"] or jobCategories: ["Engineering"] using the names you see on the site; they are mapped to Workday's internal filter IDs for you. Keyword search, any other site filter (time type, job type, remote type...) and a posted within N days filter are also supported.
• 🔁 Incremental monitoring. Turn on Only new jobs and schedule the Actor. Each run outputs, and charges for, only jobs that were not seen before. Repeat runs are very cheap.
• 🛡️ Built for reliability. Each site runs in isolation (one bad URL never kills the run). Retries use exponential backoff on 429/5xx errors, and concurrency adapts per host when a tenant rate-limits. A clear per-site summary is saved after every run.
• 💸 Pay per job. There are no subscription and no compute charges to worry about.

Why this scraper instead of the alternatives?

	Workday Jobs Scraper	Typical Workday scrapers
Sites with more than 2,000 jobs	✅ Auto-split by the site's filters (100% at NVIDIA)	❌ Stops at 2,000
Full description + exact posting date	✅ HTML and plain text, startDate	Partial or text only
Filter by location/category names	✅ Resolved to Workday facet IDs	Post-filtering of titles/text only
Incremental "only new jobs" mode	✅ Built in, per site, per monitor	❌
postedWithinDays filter	✅ Including "30+ Days Ago" postings	Rarely
Job category, remote type, country code	✅	Rarely
Proxy required	❌ Never by default	Often recommended
One bad URL fails the whole run	❌ Isolated per site	Often

How to find a company's Workday URL

1. Go to the company's careers page and click Search jobs or open any job.
2. If the browser address changes to something like https://COMPANY.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/SiteName, that is the Workday URL. Copy it.
3. Or search Google for site:myworkdayjobs.com "Company name".

Examples of valid URLs:

https://nvidia.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite
https://salesforce.wd12.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/External_Career_Site
https://intel.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/External?q=python
https://wd5.myworkdaysite.com/recruiting/nvidia/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite
https://boeing.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/EXTERNAL_CAREERS/job/USA---Seattle-WA/Some-Job_00012345

Tip: you can also paste a company's own careers domain (e.g. https://www.boeing.com/careers). If it redirects or links to a Workday site, the scraper finds it on a best-effort basis.

Input example

{
    "startUrls": [
        { "url": "https://nvidia.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite" },
        { "url": "https://salesforce.wd12.myworkdayjobs.com/External_Career_Site", "userData": { "company": "Salesforce" } }
    ],
    "searchText": "engineer",
    "locations": ["United States", "Remote"],
    "jobCategories": [],
    "facetFilters": { "Time Type": ["Full time"] },
    "postedWithinDays": 7,
    "includeDescription": true,
    "maxJobsPerSite": 0,
    "onlyNewJobs": false
}

Field	Description
startUrls	Workday career-site URLs (required). Add userData.company to set a display name.
searchText	Keywords, like the site's search box.
maxJobsPerSite	Limit per site (newest first). 0 = all jobs.
includeDescription	Fetch full job details (default true). Turn off for a fast listing-only scrape.
postedWithinDays	Only jobs posted in the last N days.
locations	Location names as shown on the site ("Germany", "Santa Clara", "Remote") or Workday facet IDs.
jobCategories	Category / job family names ("Engineering") or IDs.
facetFilters	Any other site filter: { "filter label or parameter": ["value names or IDs"] }.
onlyNewJobs	Incremental mode: only output jobs not seen in previous runs. If you also set maxJobsPerSite, each run delivers up to that many unseen jobs and the rest arrive in later runs. To start with only genuinely new postings, do the first run without maxJobsPerSite.
stateKey	Name of the monitor (separate monitors keep separate memories).
splitLargeSearches	Auto-split searches above 2,000 results (default true).

Filter names are matched against each site's own filter values. If a name doesn't exist on a site, the log lists valid examples and that site is skipped instead of scraping (and charging for) unfiltered jobs.

Output example

Every job is one dataset item:

{
    "id": "nvidia:NVIDIAExternalCareerSite:Senior-ASIC-Floorplan-Design-Engineer_JR2019990",
    "jobReqId": "JR2019990",
    "title": "Senior ASIC Floorplan Design Engineer",
    "company": "nvidia",
    "hiringOrganization": "2100 NVIDIA USA",
    "tenant": "nvidia",
    "site": "NVIDIAExternalCareerSite",
    "locations": ["US, CA, Santa Clara", "US, TX, Austin"],
    "locationsText": "2 Locations",
    "country": "United States of America",
    "countryCode": "US",
    "remoteType": null,
    "timeType": "Full time",
    "jobCategory": "Engineering",

    "canApply": true,
    "descriptionHtml": "<p>NVIDIA is seeking an experienced ASIC Floorplan Engineer ...</p>",
    "descriptionText": "NVIDIA is seeking an experienced ASIC Floorplan Engineer ...",
    "jobPostingId": "Senior-ASIC-Floorplan-Design-Engineer_JR2019990",
    "workdayId": "1559947f960d1013e6c1d61d1df00000",
    "sourceUrl": "https://nvidia.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite",
    "scrapedAt": "2026-10-15T08:04:56.946Z"
}

Notes on the fields:

• id is stable across runs. Use it to de-duplicate.
• postedAt is the exact posting date from Workday when job details are fetched. Otherwise it is derived from "Posted N Days Ago", and is null for "30+ Days Ago".
• jobCategory is filled when you scrape a whole site (no maxJobsPerSite), when the site was split by category, or when you filter by category.
• With includeDescription: false, the detail-only fields (description, timeType, country, full locations) are omitted or null, in exchange for faster runs.

A RUN_SUMMARY record in the run's key-value store lists, for every site: jobs output, jobs listed, jobs skipped (already seen or too old), split sub-searches, retries, errors and duration.

How much does it cost to scrape Workday jobs?

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. You pay $1.50 per 1,000 jobs ($0.0015 per job) for jobs that appear in your dataset. Jobs removed by your filters, already-seen jobs in incremental mode, and failed sites cost nothing.

Jobs	Price
100	$0.15
1,000	$1.50
10,000	$15.00

Your Apify plan's free monthly credit applies, and higher Apify plans get store discounts. To cap spending, set Maximum cost per run in the run options. The scraper stops cleanly when the budget is reached and tells you so in the status message.

Scheduling and incremental monitoring of new jobs

Use this to get alerts for new jobs at specific companies, or to keep a job board in sync:

1. Turn on Only new jobs and give the monitor a name in Monitor name (e.g. eng-us).
2. Save the configuration as a Task and add a Schedule (e.g. every morning).
3. The first run outputs all current matching jobs and saves them as the baseline.
4. Every later run outputs only jobs that appeared since. Already-seen jobs are skipped before their details are fetched, so monitoring runs are fast and cost only the new jobs.

The memory is kept per site in a named key-value store (workday-jobs-scraper-state by default), under the key you choose. Different monitor names are fully independent. Don't run two runs with the same monitor name at the same time.

Getting more than 2,000 jobs from one Workday site

Workday's API never returns more than 2,000 results for a single search. It reports total: 2000 and silently wraps around to page one. Most scrapers stop there.

When this scraper sees the cap, it does the following:

1. It reads the site's filter counts, which are not capped, to estimate the real number of jobs.
2. It picks a filter that provably partitions the jobs, preferring job category, then country, and so on. Smaller values are grouped so that each sub-search stays under 2,000.
3. It scrapes every sub-search and de-duplicates the results. If a sub-search is still above 2,000, it is split again (up to 4 levels).
4. When the only remaining filters are "multi-valued" (e.g. Skills or City), it adds a catch-all pass over the capped search, plus extra passes on other filters, so jobs missing one attribute are still found.

Test results (October 2026):

Site	Real jobs	Returned	How
NVIDIA	2,711	2,711 (100%)	15 job categories, 24 s
Accenture, "AI & Data" only	3,826	3,822 (99.9%)	Country, then City + catch-all
Accenture, whole site	~42,000	38,726 (92%)	92 sub-searches, 13 min, listing only

The rest of Accenture sits in one 17,800-job bucket (Software Engineering × India) that Workday's filters can't fully partition. When this happens, the log and RUN_SUMMARY say how many jobs are unreachable. You can reach them with narrower searches (keywords, locations).

FAQ

Do I need a Workday account, login, cookies or a proxy? No. The scraper uses the public endpoints that every Workday career site uses to show jobs. A proxy option exists only for rare regional blocks.

Are there any limits on the free plan? No. Free-plan users get the same features, with no caps on sites, jobs or filters. You pay only per job, and your Apify free monthly credit covers it.

How fast is it? Listing-only runs (includeDescription: false) take about 1 second per 100 jobs: all 2,711 NVIDIA jobs took 24 seconds. With full details, expect about 6–15 jobs per second, depending on the company's Workday tenant. 100 jobs from each of NVIDIA and Salesforce took 12 seconds; Salesforce's full 1,550 jobs took about 4 minutes. Some tenants rate-limit to about 6 requests per second. The scraper then slows down automatically (it backs off on HTTP 429) instead of failing.

Can I scrape many companies at once? Yes. Add as many URLs as you like. Sites run in parallel and are isolated from each other.

What happens with an invalid URL? That site is reported as failed with a clear reason, for example "tenant not found", "career site not found" or "not a Workday URL", and the other sites continue. You're not charged for it.

Why does "postedAt" say null? Without job details, Workday only says "Posted 30+ Days Ago" for older postings. Turn on Include full job details to get the exact date.

Does it return salaries? Workday has no salary field. When a company publishes pay ranges, they are inside the description text.

Is scraping Workday legal? The scraper only collects publicly available job postings that companies publish to attract applicants. It doesn't collect personal data. Always check that your use complies with the applicable terms and laws.

Limits

• Workday caps each search at 2,000 results. Auto-split works around this using the site's filters. In rare cases a combination of filters still can't reach a small remainder, and the log reports it.
• Filter names differ per company. Check the run log for valid values.
• company is the Workday tenant name (e.g. nvidia) unless you set userData.company.
• Custom career domains are resolved on a best-effort basis. If one fails, paste the myworkdayjobs.com URL instead.
• Incremental state lives in a named key-value store in your account, created by the Actor itself. Deleting that store resets the monitor. If you already have an unrelated store with the same name, set a different State key-value store name.
