# Output: https://jobs.dayforcehcm.com/en-US/baltimoreravens/CANDIDATEPORTAL/jobs/2004The search endpoint sits behind Cloudflare and NextAuth, so a bare POST is rejected. First GET the board homepage to collect the __cf_bm and _cfuvid cookies, then GET /api/auth/csrf for the __Host-next-auth.csrf-token cookie and csrfToken value. Send all three cookies in the Cookie header and the token in the x-csrf-token header. These cookies rotate, so re-prime whenever a 403 or 401 comes back.
Parse the career page URL to extract these values. The format is jobs.dayforcehcm.com/{locale}/{clientNamespace}/{jobBoardCode}. Common jobBoardCode values include CANDIDATEPORTAL, JobOpenings, and Careers.
Always check maxCount in the response and keep paging until offset + count >= maxCount. The page size is 25 jobs.
The postingLocations array can hold several entries. Use the first as the primary location, or emit a separate record per location depending on your schema.
Check the isEvergreen field and handle postingExpiryTimestampUTC being null. Evergreen roles stay active indefinitely and should be tracked differently from dated postings.
Space requests out (500ms is a safe default) and handle 429 responses with backoff. Avoid scraping many companies concurrently without throttling.
- 1Use the search API — it returns full descriptions, so individual detail requests are unnecessary
- 2Prime Cloudflare and CSRF cookies before the first POST, and re-prime on any 403/401
- 3Always paginate to capture every job from large boards
- 4Include cultureCode in requests; en-US, en-CA, and fr-CA are the most common
- 5Handle multiple locations per job by iterating the postingLocations array
- 6Cache results and add request delays to avoid anti-bot protections on high-volume scraping
