- **Full Actor documentation**: https://apify.com/codingfrontend/airbnb-experiences-scraper.md

## Changelog

### 1.1.0 - 2026-08-31

- Added strict bounded input and Airbnb-only start-URL validation, direct-by-default proxy support, strict explicit-proxy routing, tests, QA inputs, and stronger dataset validation.
- Corrected raw HTML block detection so Airbnb's normal `disable_google_recaptcha` bootstrap flag is not treated as an access challenge.
- Changed zero-real-record and diagnostic-only outcomes to fail the run after preserving `OUTPUT_SUMMARY` and diagnostic evidence.
- Reduced default browser concurrency to one and changed the Docker install to deterministic `npm ci` flags.

All notable changes to the **Airbnb Experiences Scraper** are listed here.
