# 🏢 Workday Jobs Scraper - Enterprise Careers Boards (`that_red_bird/workday-jobs-scraper`) Actor

⚡ Scrape open roles from any company Workday careers board. ✅ Thousands of enterprises run Workday and its API needs a POST, which is why good scrapers are scarce. ✅ Paging, title and location filters, remote detection.

## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## 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.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Workday Jobs Scraper

Scrape open roles from any company's **Workday** careers board.

Workday powers the careers site for a very large share of enterprises — and it is the job source
most scrapers skip, because a plain `GET` on its endpoint returns **HTTP 400**. The data requires a
`POST` with a JSON body and cursor-style paging. That single detail is why supply on the store is
thin while demand for enterprise job data is not.

### Input formats

All of these resolve to the same board:

```
https://nvidia.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite
https://nvidia.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite
https://nvidia.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/wday/cxs/nvidia/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite/jobs
nvidia.wd5:NVIDIAExternalCareerSite
```

Locale prefixes and the raw API path are both handled, so you can paste whatever the careers page
shows you.

### What you get per role

`title` · `company` · `location` · `postedOn` · **`url`** (a real, openable job link) ·
`remote` (derived from title and location) · `id`

`SUMMARY` also reports **`totalOnBoard`** per company — the true total Workday says it has, which is
usually far larger than what you fetched, so you know whether to raise `maxJobsPerBoard`.

### Filtering

- **`searchText`** — passed to Workday's own search so it narrows **server-side before paging**.
  Much faster than pulling thousands of rows and filtering locally.
- `keywords` / `excludeKeywords` on the title, `locationFilter`, `remoteOnly`
- `maxJobsPerBoard` and `maxItems` to bound cost

### Typical uses

Recruiters tracking a target list of enterprises · job boards and aggregators needing a reliable
enterprise feed · market and salary research · sales teams using hiring as a growth signal ·
competitor headcount monitoring.

### Reliability

Workday's endpoint is structured JSON, not scraped HTML, so it does not break when a page layout
changes. A board that fails is reported with the reason and the run continues; if **every** board
fails the run fails loudly rather than returning an empty dataset that looks like "no jobs".

# Actor input Schema

## `boards` (type: `array`):

Workday careers URLs, e.g. https://nvidia.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite. Locale-prefixed URLs and the shorthand tenant.wd5:SiteName both work.

## `searchText` (type: `string`):

Passed to Workday's own search, which narrows server-side before paging. Faster than pulling everything and filtering.

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

Case-insensitive match on the job title, applied after fetching.

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

Drop roles whose title contains any of these, e.g. intern, contract.

## `locationFilter` (type: `string`):

Keep only roles whose location contains this text, e.g. berlin, remote, united states.

## `remoteOnly` (type: `boolean`):

Keep only roles whose title or location indicates remote or work-from-home.

## `maxJobsPerBoard` (type: `integer`):

Upper bound per company. Workday pages 20 at a time; large employers list thousands.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Hard cap on dataset rows across all boards. 0 = no cap.

## `concurrency` (type: `integer`):

How many boards to fetch in parallel.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Optional Apify proxy configuration.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "boards": [
    "https://nvidia.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite"
  ],
  "remoteOnly": false,
  "maxJobsPerBoard": 100,
  "maxItems": 0,
  "concurrency": 3
}
```

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "boards": [
        "https://nvidia.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("that_red_bird/workday-jobs-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
