# Output: https://jobs.dayforcehcm.com/en-US/baltimoreravens/CANDIDATEPORTAL/jobs/2004The API may require CSRF tokens for some requests. Start with basic requests first. If you get 403 errors, extract the CSRF token from the page HTML or cookies and include it in the x-csrf-token header.
Parse the career page URL to extract these values. The URL format is: jobs.dayforcehcm.com/{locale}/{clientNamespace}/{jobBoardCode}. Common jobBoardCode values include CANDIDATEPORTAL, JobOpenings, and Careers.
Always check maxCount in the response and paginate until offset + count >= maxCount. The default page size is 25 jobs.
The postingLocations array can contain multiple entries. Consider either using the first location as primary or creating separate entries for each location.
Check the isEvergreen field and handle postingExpiryTimestampUTC being null. These jobs stay active indefinitely and should be tracked differently.
Add delays between requests (500ms recommended) and implement proper error handling for 429 responses. Avoid scraping multiple companies simultaneously without rate limiting.
- 1Use the search API - it returns full descriptions, no need for individual detail requests
- 2Always implement pagination to get all jobs from large job boards
- 3Include cultureCode in requests; en-US, en-CA, and fr-CA are most common
- 4Handle multiple locations per job by checking the postingLocations array
- 5Cache results - Dayforce job boards typically update daily
- 6Add request delays to avoid anti-bot protections on high-volume scraping
