Workday Jobs API: every open job from any Workday job board

Workday powers the careers pages of thousands of companies, and exposes a free, public, keyless JSON endpoint behind them. Here’s how to use it, with the pitfalls we hit running it against real companies.

curl -X POST "https://nvidia.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/wday/cxs/nvidia/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite/jobs" \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{"appliedFacets":{},"limit":20,"offset":0,"searchText":""}'

Gotchas

• You need the full careers URL: tenant (nvidia), shard (wd5) and site (NVIDIAExternalCareerSite). Names aren’t unique, so slugs alone don’t work.
• limit maxes at 20; total is only returned on the first page; results stop at 2,000.
• List items have only relative dates ("Posted 3 Days Ago") and "6 Locations". Fetch GET …/{site}{externalPath} for the real startDate, all locations and the description.
• Bursts from cloud IPs get rate-limited with HTML error pages: limit concurrency (~4) and retry with backoff.
