## Pricing

Pay per usage

This Actor is paid per platform usage. The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. 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

## Workable Jobs Scraper — All Open Roles via Public API

**Every open job from any Workable company, through Workable's public, keyless job-widget endpoint — the one Workable serves for [embedding jobs on company websites](https://help.workable.com/hc/en-us/articles/115012801727-How-to-embed-jobs-on-your-website) — normalized, filterable, and never silently empty.** Works with every company that hires on Workable, for example Hugging Face, Blueground and tens of thousands of small and mid-size companies.

### Why this Actor

- **Public, keyless API**: no proxies, no browser, no blocks. Runs take seconds and cost almost nothing.
- **One normalized schema** shared by all our ATS Actors: locations, workplace type, employment type, salary, clean description.
- **Remote / hybrid / on-site** for every job, read from the same endpoint Workable's own careers page uses.
- **Structured locations** (city, region, country and ISO code) for multi-location jobs.
- **Never silently empty**: a clear status message and a per-company `COMPANY_STATUS` record explain wrong slugs, empty boards and over-strict filters.
- **Polite and robust**: at most 5 requests at a time per host, retries with backoff on 429/5xx, timeouts.

### Use cases

- **Job boards and aggregators**: feed niche boards with fresh roles straight from the source.
- **Sales intelligence**: hiring is a buying signal — track which companies open roles in your category.
- **Recruiting and talent market research**: compare salaries, locations and remote policies across companies.
- **Job alerts**: schedule a run and diff by `id` to get only new jobs.
- **AI agents and RAG**: clean text or Markdown descriptions, ready for LLMs.

### Input

List companies by slug, board URL, or careers page URL. The slug is the account name after `apply.workable.com/` or before `.workable.com` (for `https://apply.workable.com/huggingface/` it is `huggingface`).

```json
{
  "companies": [
    "huggingface",
    "https://apply.workable.com/blueground/"
  ],
  "workplaceType": [
    "remote"
  ]
}
```

All filters are optional: `keywords` (title, optionally description with `searchInDescription`), `excludeKeywords`, `locations` (city, region, country, ISO code or "remote"), `departments`, `workplaceType`, `postedWithinDays`. Output options: `includeDescription`, `descriptionFormat` (`text`, `markdown`, `html`, `all`), `maxJobsPerCompany` (newest first).

### Output

One dataset item per job. A real item from a run of Workable Jobs Scraper (description shortened):

```json
{
  "id": "workable:blueground:B02DA69C8F",
  "ats": "workable",
  "company": "blueground",
  "companyName": "Blueground",
  "title": "Senior Software Engineer, iOS",
  "department": "Shared Services",
  "team": null,
  "locationRaw": "Athens, Attica, Greece",
  "locations": [
    {
      "city": "Athens",
      "region": "Attica",
      "country": "Greece",
      "countryCode": "GR"
    }
  ],
  "workplaceType": "hybrid",
  "employmentType": "full-time",
  "employmentTypeRaw": "Full-time",
  "salary": null,
  "descriptionText": "🌍 Redefining how people live\n\nAt Blueground, we believe that when your base is reliable, the world opens up. That’s why we’re building the world’s leading platform for living.\n\nEvery year, over 350 million people move …",
  "descriptionMarkdown": null,
  "descriptionHtml": null,
  "applyUrl": "https://apply.workable.com/j/B02DA69C8F/apply",
  "jobUrl": "https://apply.workable.com/j/B02DA69C8F",
  "postedAt": "2026-09-24T00:00:00.000Z",
  "updatedAt": null,
  "scrapedAt": "2026-10-31T16:59:11.241Z",
  "sourceUrl": "https://apply.workable.com/api/v1/widget/accounts/blueground?details=true"
}
```

| Field | What it is |
|---|---|
| `id` | Stable ID `{ats}:{company}:{jobId}` — use it to deduplicate between runs |
| `ats`, `company`, `companyName` | Platform, company slug, and company name when the ATS publishes it |
| `title`, `department`, `team` | As published |
| `locationRaw` | Location text exactly as the company wrote it |
| `locations[]` | `{city, region, country, countryCode}` — as far as the source allows |
| `workplaceType` | `remote`, `hybrid`, `onsite` or `null` when the ATS does not say |
| `employmentType` | `full-time`, `part-time`, `contract`, `temporary`, `internship`, `freelance` or `null` (+ `employmentTypeRaw`) |
| `salary` | `{min, max, currency, period}` or `null` — never invented |
| `descriptionText` | Clean plain text; `descriptionMarkdown` / `descriptionHtml` on request |
| `jobUrl`, `applyUrl` | Job page and application page |
| `postedAt`, `updatedAt`, `scrapedAt` | ISO 8601 dates (UTC) |
| `sourceUrl` | The API URL the data came from |

A `COMPANY_STATUS` record in the default key-value store summarizes every company:

```json
[
  {
    "input": "huggingface",
    "ats": "workable",
    "slug": "huggingface",
    "status": "ok",
    "jobsFound": 15,
    "jobsSaved": 15,
    "message": "Saved all 15 open jobs."
  },
  {
    "input": "acme",
    "ats": "workable",
    "slug": "acme",
    "status": "not-found",
    "jobsFound": 0,
    "jobsSaved": 0,
    "message": "\"acme\" was not found on Workable — check the account name in https://apply.workable.com/acme/ (or acme.workable.com)."
  }
]
```

Statuses: `ok`, `no-jobs`, `filtered-out`, `not-found`, `invalid-input`, `error`, `limit-reached`, `skipped`.

### Pricing

**Free during launch.** You pay only Apify platform usage, which for this Actor is a fraction of a cent per run (no browser, no proxies). Pay-per-event pricing of **about $2 per 1,000 jobs** ($0.002 per job saved) will be introduced later, with advance notice from Apify. Status records will stay free.

### FAQ

**Is it legal?**

The Actor reads only Workable's public, keyless job-widget endpoint — the one Workable serves for [embedding jobs on company websites](https://help.workable.com/hc/en-us/articles/115012801727-How-to-embed-jobs-on-your-website). It needs no key because it exists for public job widgets. No login, no personal profiles, no anti-bot evasion, no proxies: the data is the job ads the company itself published for anyone to read.

**How fresh is the data?**

Live. Every run asks the API at run time; nothing is cached on our side. Schedule the Actor (hourly or daily) and use `id` to spot new jobs.

**Why is a field `null`?**

Because the source does not publish it. We never guess salaries, countries or workplace types.

**What if a company is not found or has no jobs?**

The run never ends silently empty. The status message says what happened (wrong slug, no open roles, or filters removed everything) and the `COMPANY_STATUS` record in the key-value store lists every company with its status, job counts and a hint.

**Can I use it from code, Zapier, Make or an AI agent?**

Yes: through the Apify API, integrations, and the Apify MCP server. The output schema is identical across all our ATS Actors.

**Why is `salary` always empty?**

Workable's public API does not publish salaries. We never extract numbers from free text.

# Actor input Schema

## `companies` (type: `array`):

Workable account names (for example "huggingface"), board URLs such as https://apply.workable.com/huggingface/ or https://huggingface.workable.com, or a careers page that links to Workable.

## `keywords` (type: `array`):

Keep only jobs whose title contains at least one of these words (case-insensitive), e.g. "engineer". Leave empty to keep all jobs.

## `searchInDescription` (type: `boolean`):

Match keywords (and excluded keywords) in the job description too, not only in the title.

## `excludeKeywords` (type: `array`):

Drop jobs whose title contains any of these words, e.g. "intern", "senior".

## `locations` (type: `array`):

Keep jobs whose location contains any of these texts: a city, region, country, ISO country code ("US", "DE") or "remote".

## `departments` (type: `array`):

Keep jobs whose department or team contains any of these texts, e.g. "Engineering".

## `workplaceType` (type: `array`):

Keep only remote, hybrid and/or on-site jobs. Jobs whose ATS does not state the workplace type are dropped when this is set.

## `postedWithinDays` (type: `integer`):

Keep only jobs published in the last N days. 0 or empty = any date.

## `includeDescription` (type: `boolean`):

Add the job description (plain text by default). Turn off for a lighter dataset.

## `descriptionFormat` (type: `string`):

descriptionText is always filled. Choose whether to also add Markdown, the original HTML, or both.

## `maxJobsPerCompany` (type: `integer`):

Stop after this many matching jobs per company (newest first). 0 = no limit.

    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
