## Pricing

from $1.20 / 1,000 workday jobs

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?

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.

## Workday Jobs API & Change Monitor

> **Unofficial independent tool.** Not affiliated with or endorsed by Workday, Inc. The Workday
> name identifies compatible public career-site URLs only.

Turn one or many public Workday career sites into normalized job datasets. Retrieve current
vacancies or monitor added, updated, and removed hiring signals without an employee login,
customer credentials, cookies, or private Workday access.

### Best for

- Job-search and recruiting products
- Company hiring and workforce-intelligence trackers
- Requisition-level alerts and competitive hiring signals
- Search indexes, research datasets, and scheduled automations

### What you get

- Stable job identifiers and content fingerprints
- Requisition ID, company, title, location, remote type, employment type, and dates
- Plain-text and HTML job descriptions when requested
- Public job and application URL
- Keyword, location, department, remote, and date filters
- Exact `maxItems` result control
- Failure-safe change monitoring that prevents false removal floods

### Run it

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://workday.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/workday"
    }
  ],
  "maxItems": 1000,
  "mode": "snapshot",
  "includeDescription": true,
  "maxConcurrency": 5
}
```

Use a public Workday career home, search page, or job URL. The Actor discovers the tenant and
career-site identifiers, pages through published jobs, and enriches each result with the public
detail record when `includeDescription` is enabled.

For a faster, lower-request listing run, set `includeDescription` to `false`. Search metadata still
includes the job title, location, remote type, requisition reference, and public job URL.

### Monitor changes

Set `"mode": "changes"` and schedule the same input. The first changes run emits current jobs as
`added`; later runs emit only new, updated, or removed jobs. A failed source retains its previous
state and cannot generate a paid removal flood.

Every default-dataset item is one normalized public Workday job or job-change event. Run
diagnostics are written to the unpaid `OUTPUT` record.

### Cost and reliability

`maxItems` is a hard paid-result cap. Apify shows the active price and maximum charge before each
run. Detail requests use bounded concurrency, timeouts, retries, response sizes, and public-network
checks. A failed detail request falls back to valid search metadata and is identified in
diagnostics.

### FAQ

**Does it need Workday credentials?** No. It reads public company career sites only.

**Can one run process several companies?** Yes. Add multiple public Workday URLs.

**Can it apply to jobs or retrieve candidates?** No. It does not submit applications or access
candidate, employee, unpublished-job, or private tenant data.

# Actor input Schema

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

Add one or more public Workday job-board URLs. HTTPS only.

## `sources` (type: `array`):

Optional advanced source objects with url, provider, companyName, and label.

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

Hard cap across all sources. One default-dataset item is one chargeable result.

## `mode` (type: `string`):

Snapshot emits current jobs. Changes emits only added, updated, and removed jobs versus saved state.

## `stateStoreName` (type: `string`):

Optional stable key-value store name. If omitted, one is derived from sources and filters.

## `titleKeywords` (type: `array`):

Emit jobs whose title contains at least one term. Leave empty for all titles.

## `excludeTitleKeywords` (type: `array`):

Drop jobs whose title contains any term.

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

Case-insensitive location substrings. Leave empty for every location.

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

Case-insensitive department substrings. Leave empty for every department.

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

Emit only records identified as remote or hybrid.

## `postedAfter` (type: `string`):

Optional ISO date in YYYY-MM-DD format.

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

Fetch and normalize descriptions when the source exposes them.

## `includeCompensation` (type: `boolean`):

Include public salary or compensation fields when the source exposes them.

## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`):

Bounded request concurrency across sources and detail pages.

## `requestTimeoutSecs` (type: `integer`):

Maximum time allowed for each source request.

## `retryCount` (type: `integer`):

Retries timeout, rate-limit, and server errors with backoff.

## `failOnSourceError` (type: `boolean`):

When disabled, healthy sources still return results and failed sources cannot create false removals.
