Overview - Corsair

Use Workday through Corsair: one client, typed API calls, local DB sync. What you get:

85 typed API operations
8 synced entities (absenceBalances, interviews, jobPostings, jobRequisitions, jobs, payrollInputs, and 2 more) for fast .search() / .list()

Setup

Install

npm install corsair @corsair-dev/workday

yarn add corsair @corsair-dev/workday

pnpm install corsair @corsair-dev/workday

bun add corsair @corsair-dev/workday

Add the plugin

corsair.ts

import Database from 'better-sqlite3';
import { createCorsair } from 'corsair';
import { workday } from '@corsair-dev/workday';

export const corsair = createCorsair({
	plugins: [
		workday({
			host: 'wd2-impl-services1.workday.com',
			tenant: 'acme',
		}),
	],
	database: new Database('corsair.db'),
	kek: process.env.CORSAIR_KEK!,
	hub: {
		projectApiKey: process.env.CORSAIR_DEV_API_KEY!,
		signingSecret: process.env.CORSAIR_DEV_SIGNING_SECRET!,
	},
});

Multi-tenancy is the default — scope calls with corsair.withTenant(id). See Quick start for KEK + Hub keys, and Multi-tenancy for account isolation.

Choose authentication

OAuth 2.0 (Recommended)

Open hub.corsair.dev, navigate to your project, and enter the client ID and client secret from your Workday OAuth app.Pass Workday’s API hostname and tenant name too — they go in Workday URLs (https://{host}/ccx/oauth2/{tenant}/…). That’s not the same as corsair.withTenant() (Multi-tenancy). See Workday’s docs: token endpoint shape.

workday({
	host: 'wd2-impl-services1.workday.com',
	tenant: 'acme',
})

More: OAuth 2.0

Connect a tenant

Mint a connect link and send the tenant to it. Hub hosts the page and delivers the result to your app — see Connect / OAuth.

const { connectUrl } = await corsair.manage.connect.createLink({
	plugin: 'workday',
	tenantId: 'acme',
});
// redirect the user's browser to connectUrl

Example API calls

absence.getAbsenceBalance

const tenant = corsair.withTenant('acme');
await tenant.workday.api.absence.getAbsenceBalance({});

business.createBusinessTitleChange

const tenant = corsair.withTenant('acme');
await tenant.workday.api.business.createBusinessTitleChange({});

See the full list on the API page.

Query synced data

Synced entities support tenant.workday.db.<entity>.search() and .list(): absenceBalances, interviews, jobPostings, jobRequisitions, jobs, payrollInputs, prospects, workers. See Database for filters and operators.
