Tips for Best Results

Use Valid Workday Career URLs

• Start with live public career pages.
• If a target URL redirects to a maintenance or invalid page, switch to another valid Workday career URL for that employer.

Use URL Query Terms for Filtering

• Add query text directly to your URL (for example ?q=warehouse).
• Keep queries specific to improve relevance.

Tune Run Size for Speed

• Start with results_wanted: 20 for validation.
• Increase results_wanted and max_pages gradually for production pulls.

Use Proxies for Higher Stability

• Configure proxy settings for larger or scheduled runs.
• Residential groups are useful for tougher targets.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I scrape more than one Workday career site in one run?

Yes. Add multiple entries in startUrls.

How do I search by keyword now?

Use keyword query parameters in the URL, such as ?q=admin.

Why did I get fewer jobs than results_wanted?

The source may have fewer matching jobs, or your run limits may be too strict. Increase max_pages or use broader query terms.

Why are some fields missing in certain records?

Some postings simply do not expose every field. The actor outputs only non-empty values.

Can I schedule this actor?

Yes. Use Apify schedules for hourly, daily, or weekly monitoring.

Does the actor remove duplicates?

Yes. Duplicate postings are filtered during a run.

Can I download results in CSV or Excel?
