## Pricing

from $2.00 / 1,000 results

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower 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

## Workday Jobs Scraper

> **Thirdwatch portfolio:** 5K+ users across 140+ public Actors, 2M+ records delivered, and >99% run success. [Explore all Thirdwatch Actors](https://apify.com/thirdwatch).

> Search jobs across any Workday career site — title, location, posted date, job ID, and apply URLs from Workday's public job API.

### What you get

Search jobs across any Workday career site — title, location, posted date, job ID, and apply URLs from Workday's public job API.

### Why use this Workday Jobs scraper

- **Thousands of employers, one schema** — point it at any `*.myworkdayjobs.com` career site; results share one normalized shape.
- **Direct JSON API** — uses Workday's public `cxs` search endpoint, so results are complete rows, not scraped HTML fragments.
- **Keyword and location filters** — the same filters candidates use on the career site.
- **Monitoring-friendly** — stable `jobId` values make new-posting detection trivial downstream.

### Scrape Workday Jobs data in minutes

```json
{
  "careerSiteUrls": [
    "https://nvidia.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite"
  ],
  "maxResults": 10
}
```

### Input parameters

| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---:|---|
| `careerSiteUrls` | Yes | Workday careers URLs, e.g. https://target.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/targetcareers. |
| `query` | No | Keyword filter (blank returns all jobs) |
| `location` | No | Location filter applied server-side when supported (optional) |
| `maxResults` | No | Cap jobs returned per career site. Default: `10`. |

### Output fields

- `title`
- `jobId`
- `locationsText`
- `postedOn`
- `timeType`
- `jobUrl`
- `applyUrl`
- `tenant`
- `careerSiteUrl`
- `error`

#### Example result

```json
{
  "title": "Director, Engineering – Software Engineering",
  "jobId": "JR2021061",
  "locationsText": "2 Locations",
  "postedOn": "Posted 30+ Days Ago",
  "timeType": null,
  "jobUrl": "https://nvidia.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/wday/cxs/nvidia/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite/job/Vietnam-Hanoi/Director--Engineering---Software-Engineering_JR2021061",
  "applyUrl": "https://nvidia.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/job/Vietnam-Hanoi/Director--Engineering---Software-Engineering_JR2021061",
  "tenant": "nvidia",
  "careerSiteUrl": "https://nvidia.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite"
}
```

### Common use cases

- Aggregate openings across many Workday career sites
- Monitor a specific employer's new postings
- Build job-market datasets for enterprise employers
- Power job-alert and recruiting pipelines

### Compared to alternatives

- **vs other Workday Jobs scrapers on the Store** — pay-per-result billing means empty or failed searches cost nothing; you are not charged for a run that returns zero rows.
- **vs building your own** — no proxy management, markup-change maintenance, or infrastructure to run; paste inputs and consume the dataset.

### Limitations

- Only covers employers on Workday — other ATS platforms need their own Actors.

- Search-card fields are returned; deep job-description text requires a per-job fetch and is not guaranteed.

- Employers occasionally rename career-site hosts, which invalidates saved URLs.

- Use public data lawfully and respect applicable privacy and platform rules.

### FAQ

**Do I need an account or cookies?**

No — the Actor reads public data only. There is no login to configure and no account to risk.

**What happens when a search returns nothing?**

The run completes with zero (or an explicit error) rows. Per-result billing means you are not charged for empty output.

**Can I run it on a schedule?**

Yes — attach an Apify schedule or use the saved tasks to re-run the same inputs daily or weekly.

## MCP server setup

```json

    }
}
```

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).
