Workday Jobs Scraper

What this Actor scrapes

A huge share of enterprise career sites run on Workday, and every one of them is backed by the same internal JSON endpoint (/wday/cxs/{tenant}/{site}/jobs) that the page's own search box calls. This Actor talks to that endpoint directly: point it at one or more Workday career sites — as a URL like https://nvidia.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite, or as an explicit {tenant, dc, site} object — and it paginates the full board, optionally fetches each posting's detail, and normalizes everything into one row schema. One scraper, every Workday tenant.

What we handle for you

• 🛡️ Browser fingerprint impersonation — curl-cffi presents a real Chrome TLS/H2 handshake, so the endpoint sees a browser, not a bare Python client. Workday sits behind Cloudflare; a convincing fingerprint is what keeps requests flowing.
• 🔁 Retries with exponential backoff on 408 / 429 / 5xx, up to 5 attempts, Retry-After honoured — a batch that hits a blip recovers instead of crashing mid-run.
• 🌐 Proxy session rotation via Apify Proxy — a fresh exit IP when you're pulling many tenants or deep boards.
• 🏢 One schema across every tenant — mix career-site URLs and {tenant, dc, site} objects in a single run (up to 1 000); rows come back identically shaped, tagged with company, dc, and site.
• 📝 Optional full descriptions — flip includeDescription on for the complete posting body plus start date, time type, and req ID; leave it off for a fast titles-and-locations pull.
• 🧊 Clean, typed rows — Pydantic-validated, ISO-8601 timestamps, stable IDs. Export JSON / CSV / Excel straight from the Apify Console.

Use cases

• Recruiting & talent intelligence — track what a target employer is hiring for, where, and how fast their reqs turn over.
• Job-board aggregation — add Workday coverage alongside Greenhouse / Lever / Ashby, pulling fresh postings from dozens of employers in one run.
• Labor-market research — sample hiring demand across an industry by role, location, or time type.
• Competitive hiring intel — watch a competitor's open reqs to infer team growth and roadmap direction.
• ATS data pipelines — wire structured job rows into your own CRM, dashboard, or n8n / Make workflow on a schedule.

Input

Paste this into the Apify Console, or send it as the run input over the API. Proxy settings are on by default; you rarely need to touch them.

Pricing

You pay only for results that land. Cap any run with maxTotalChargeUsd. See pricing & billing for worked examples.

Limitations

• Public career sites only — external Workday career sites, not SSO/authenticated internal portals.
• No salary/compensation field — Workday doesn't expose structured comp data, so we don't invent it.
• Descriptions cost an extra fetch — includeDescription adds one detail request per posting (it changes speed, not the per-result price). Leave it off for the fastest pull.
• Point-in-time snapshot — returns the board as it stands now; schedule recurring runs to track changes over time.
