## Changelog

All notable changes to the Infojobs Scraper Actor will be documented in this file.

The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/),
and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).

### \[2.0.0] - 2026-03-22

#### Changed

- **API-based scraping**: Replaced Playwright browser automation with direct HTTP requests to InfoJobs API
- **Performance**: ~10x faster scraping (no browser overhead)
- **Pagination logic**: Now stops when API returns 0 results (no more jobs) instead of relying on `numPages`
- **Location filter**: Now uses `location` parameter with Spanish province names, maps to `provinceIds` API param
- **Work model filter**: Maps to `teleworkingIds` API param with numeric IDs (1=onsite, 2=remote, 3=hybrid)
- **Optional parameters**: Empty strings (`""`) are treated as undefined - filters only added when provided

#### Added

- **Spanish provinces constant**: `src/constants/provinces.ts` with province ID mappings
- **Work model constant**: `WORK_MODEL_TO_API_ID` mapping for API parameter conversion
- **Location select dropdown**: All 52 Spanish provinces in input schema
- **Work model select dropdown**: remote, hybrid, onsite options in input schema
- **Better logging**: Clear indication of search filters and pagination progress

#### Removed

- **Playwright dependency**: No longer needed for browser automation
- **Smart scroll loading**: Not required with API approach
- **JobParser class**: Logic integrated into InfojobsApiScraper

#### Technical

- **New runtime**: Uses Bun instead of Node.js
- **Simplified architecture**: Single scraper class instead of multiple classes
- **Faster iteration**: Jobs collected at ~20-22 per page with minimal delay

### \[1.0.0] - 2026-03-20

#### Added

- **Input validation with Zod schemas**: All input parameters are now validated using Zod for type safety and automatic error handling
- **Output validation**: All scraped jobs are validated before being pushed to the dataset
- **Job schema validation**: Jobs are validated against `jobSchema` to ensure data integrity
- **JobParser class**: Extracted parsing logic into a dedicated class following Single Responsibility Principle
- **Technology extraction**: Automatic detection of 400+ technologies including programming languages, frameworks, cloud platforms, and tools
- **Graceful abort handling**: Actor handles the `aborting` event for clean shutdown
- **Smart scroll loading**: Intelligent scroll mechanism that detects when new content stops loading
- **Input schema documentation**: Complete input schema with descriptions and defaults
- **Dataset schema**: Organized dataset output schema with table view

#### Changed

- **Default jobsNumber**: Changed from 50 to 100, then to 200
- **Minimum jobsNumber**: Set to 20
- **Removed maximum jobsNumber**: No longer limited to 400
- **Scroll strategy**: Improved from fixed 5 scrolls to smart scrolling with content detection
- **Link extraction limit**: Increased from 25 to 50 job links per page
- **Refactored InfojobsScraper**: Uses JobParser for cleaner separation of concerns

#### Fixed

- **Hardcoded pagination**: `buildSearchUrls` now correctly uses the `jobsNumber` parameter
- **Type safety**: All internal types now properly exported and used
- **ESLint compliance**: Fixed all linting errors including unused variables and import sorting

#### Technical

- **Dependencies**: Added `zod` for schema validation
- **Project structure**: Organized into classes, schemas, constants, and utils directories
- **Generated by**: Updated to track actor generation source
