# Workday

> Collection of Workday REST and SOAP APIs for human capital management, financial management, enterprise planning, analytics, and platform extensibility. Generated by API Evangelist from the apis.yml catalog (method: generated, 2026-06-20); no llms.txt is published on the provider's docs host.

Workday exposes tenant-scoped REST APIs under `/ccx/api/{service}/v1/{tenant}`, a standards-based SOAP Web Services (WWS) API, GraphQL and WQL query surfaces, Report-as-a-Service, and the Extend low-code platform. All access is OAuth 2.0 (authorization code) via a registered API Client per tenant.
