# Changelog of Mercari Japan Scraper: Listings, Prices, Sold (`automation_craft/mercari-japan-scraper`) Actor

- **URL**: https://apify.com/automation_craft/mercari-japan-scraper/changelog.md
- **Full Actor documentation**: https://apify.com/automation_craft/mercari-japan-scraper.md

### 0.1 (2026-10-20)

- A request that timed out is named "did not answer in 25 s" in the log and in free rows (it read "AbortError: 20"). The
  shared code of the Mercari listings gains a faster recovery for Mercari US, which this listing does not read. Inputs,
  rows, events, prices and Mercari Japan's timing unchanged.

### 0.1 (2026-10-19)

- Titles, descriptions, hashtags, comment texts and Mercari's translations are delivered exactly as Mercari serves them,
  switch on or off: the masks of 2026-10-14 are off (owner rule 2026-10-19). **Include personal data** governs the seller
  fields only (a personal seller's id, display name and profile link) and the new rows and fields below.
- New, with **Include personal data** on: **Seller profiles** (Seller profile event), **Seller reviews** (Seller review
  event) and the commenter's id and name on each comment (no extra charge). A run without them declares and bills nothing
  new; until the two events start on this Actor's pricing, a run that asks for them is refused, free, with the date to wait
  for.
- The listing now runs the shared code of the Mercari listings (the combined listing's): every request has a hard deadline
  of its own, so a run cannot hang on one. Settings of the shared code this listing never had stay unknown to it (ignored
  with a warning, as before).

### 0.1 (2026-10-17, later)

- The texts now say how a change monitor bills: a listing delivered again unchanged (Unchanged ones too) and each listing the
  re-checks find sold, changed or removed are billed as a Listing; re-checks are bounded by Maximum listing checks, not by
  Maximum listings. Billing itself is unchanged.
- Inputs that carry a credential in any encoding (Basic, token prefixes after a slash, AWS or GitLab shaped keys) are
  refused and never echoed into a row; real searches such as "basic tee" stay accepted.

### 0.1 (2026-10-17)

- Personal data behind one switch, `includePersonalData`, off by default: off, a personal seller's id, name and profile
  link are empty and phone numbers, e-mail addresses and the seller's own name written into titles, descriptions,
  hashtags, comments and translations are masked (street addresses in descriptions, comments and translated descriptions); on, all of it as Mercari shows it to visitors who are not signed
  in. Mercari Shops shops are business data and always delivered as written. Replaces the change of 2026-10-14.

### 0.1 (2026-10-13)

- First version of the Mercari Japan listing: keyword, category, pasted search link, seller, shop, brand (id or name),
  similar listings and every listing searches, plus listing links; status, price, condition, size, colour, shipping payer,
  shipping method, prefecture, personal or Mercari Shops filters, checked on every page and again on the detail; excluded
  words, posted window and title match in code; details with comments (no commenter names), hashtags, attributes, auction
  data and the seller's rating; Mercari's own translation, exchange rate and ships to country check; price summaries per
  search and the sold median filter; a monitor of new and changed listings with re-checks of the ones it no longer sees;
  resume from a dataset; a residential option; free rows for every miss.
