🏢 Workday Career Sites API: Find the Companies Using Workday

Find the companies using Workday and every career site each one runs, as clean structured JSON: tenant, datacenter, careers URL, direct jobs API URL, and a live open-role count.

Give this API a company name and it returns every Workday career site that company runs, each with the tenant, datacenter, public careers URL, the direct jobs API URL, and how many roles are open right now. Turn on discovery mode and it enumerates companies using Workday in bulk, so you can build a Workday customer list for sales or research. It returns every board a company runs, not just the main one: large employers keep separate sites for regions, subsidiaries, and university hiring.

Video Walkthrough

Text walkthrough

The primary use case is finding the companies using Workday and resolving each to its career sites. You give the API a list of company names or domains (the companies input), or you switch on discoverAll to enumerate in bulk. For each career site it returns tenant, datacenter, siteSlug, careersUrl, apiUrl, and totalJobs. The apiUrl field is the piece most people are after: a direct, ready-to-POST jobs endpoint you can page through to pull the actual postings. A concrete example from the published tasks: run it on kla and you get all seven of KLA's Workday boards, including its regional sites, each with a live open-role count. That is the difference from a single-company scraper, which stops at the first board. Sales and market-research teams use the bulk mode to turn Workday adoption into a lead list; data teams use the named mode to resolve a company to its Workday tenant and jobs API URL.

Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Python 3.11 or higher
• An Apify account and API key (get a free key here)

1. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/johnisanerd/Apify-Workday-Career-Sites-API.git
   cd Apify-Workday-Career-Sites-API

2. Install dependencies with UV

   # Install UV if you do not have it:
   curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
   
   # Install project dependencies:
   uv sync

3. Configure your API key

   cp .env.example .env
   # Edit .env and add your Apify API key
   # Get your free API key at: https://apify.com?fpr=9n7kx3

4. Run the example

   uv run python workday-career-sites-api-example.py
   # Optional recipes:
   # uv run python workday-career-sites-api-example.py --example companies_list
   # uv run python workday-career-sites-api-example.py --example every_site
   # uv run python workday-career-sites-api-example.py --example jobs_api_url

Alternative: set the API key directly

export APIFY_API_TOKEN="your_api_key_here"
uv run python workday-career-sites-api-example.py

Why Use This Workday Career Sites API?

Every other Workday tool needs you to already know the company's Workday URL, which means knowing the tenant, the datacenter, and the site slug. This API produces those, so it sits upstream of the job scrapers and feeds them.

The datacenter is the hard part. Every Workday career site lives in a specific datacenter (wd1, wd5, wd108, and so on) that is part of the URL and cannot be derived from the company name. This API resolves it for you, then hands back a working careers URL and a direct jobs API URL.

Discovery mode turns Workday adoption into a dataset. Enumerate companies using Workday in bulk, each with its careers URL and live open-role count, and you have a Workday customer list you can filter for sales, market research, or CRM enrichment.

It returns every board, not just one. A single company can run many career sites for regions, subsidiaries, and university hiring; this API returns all of them so nothing is missed.

Is this a Workday scraper or an API?

This repo teaches the Workday Career Sites API on Apify. People often search for a "workday scraper" or "workday jobs scraper"; this Actor covers the discovery side of that need and returns structured JSON you can call from Python or MCP. It finds the career sites and the jobs API URL; you feed that URL to a job scraper to pull the postings.

How do I get a list of companies using Workday?

Clone this repo, set APIFY_API_TOKEN, and run uv run python workday-career-sites-api-example.py --example companies_list. That runs discovery mode and returns one row per career site with the company tenant and open-role count. See Quick Start and Recipes above.

What is a Workday tenant, and how do I find it?

The tenant is the company's own label inside Workday, the first part of its career-site hostname (for nvidia.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com, the tenant is nvidia). Pass a company name to this API and it returns the tenant and datacenter for you.

Can I use this with MCP or Claude?

Yes. Use the install sections below to add the Actor as an MCP tool in Claude Code (free trial), Claude Cowork (free trial), Claude.ai, Cursor, or ChatGPT.

Install in Claude Cowork Desktop

Cowork is the desktop app's automation mode. To give it the Workday Career Sites API as a tool, add the Apify MCP server as a connector.

1. Open the Claude desktop app and go to Settings → Connectors (or Settings → Developer → Edit Config to edit claude_desktop_config.json directly).
   • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
   • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
2. Add the Apify MCP server, preloaded with only this Actor:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apify": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=actors,docs,johnvc/workday-career-sites-api"
      ]
    }
  }
}

3. Restart the app. When Cowork first calls the tool, complete the OAuth prompt in your browser, or add your Apify API token in the connector settings to skip OAuth.
4. In a Cowork chat, confirm the tool is available and ask it to run the Workday Career Sites API.

claude mcp add --transport http apify \
  "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=actors,docs,johnvc/workday-career-sites-api"

To use a token instead of browser OAuth:

claude mcp add --transport http apify \
  "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=actors,docs,johnvc/workday-career-sites-api" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN"

Then verify with claude mcp list, or run /mcp inside a session. Ask Claude Code to call the Workday Career Sites API.

  "mcpServers": {
    "apify": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=actors,docs,johnvc/workday-career-sites-api",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" }
    }
  }
