[1.5] - 2026-09-07
Added
Actor Standby: HTTP lookup GET/POST /lookup — one local.ch /d/ fiche URL, or up to 5. Category and search crawls stay on Start.
OpenAPI spec for the Standby tab (web_server_openapi.json)
[2026-09-01]
Changed
Free plan cap: 20 rows per run. Anonymous Try off.
[1.4] - 2026-08-27
Fixed
Store Try: prefill 5 businesses, skip the listing→details cooldown, stop ~40s before platform timeout, and exit 0 on missing category / helloWorld input (empty dataset, not FAILED).
Direct dependency on undici for proxied fetches.
[1.3] - 2026-08-24
Fixed
Default run memory 2048 MB (minimum 1024 MB) so city batches no longer hit exit 137 on 512 MB leftovers.
Saved Console proxy configs that still request the DATACENTER group are stripped; if proxy create fails, retry without a group.
[1.2] - 2026-08-23
Changed
Category is a Console dropdown (Lawyer, Dentist, Restaurant, …) instead of a free-text slug.
Language-aware slugs: Lawyer + Deutsch → /de/s/anwalt. Other still accepts any local.ch slug.
Store PPE scheduled via API for 2026-09-06: Free $2 / 1k (was $4 / 1k), same grid as OneDoc.
Fixed
Listing now stops at Max rows (was collecting a full extra page, then OOM on 512 MB detail fetches).
Default proxy no longer requests the DATACENTER group (unavailable on some accounts) — Swiss Apify proxy without a group name.
[1.1] - 2026-08-23
Changed
Empty fields are null (or []), not "-".
Descriptions: HTML entities decoded, local.ch SEO boilerplate stripped.
Opening hours: { day, opens, closes } plus openingHoursText (no schema.org URLs).
Images: drop blanks/duplicates, cap at 8, skip logo as primary when a photo exists.
Websites: ignore Google/Bing/local.ch URLs; Facebook stays in socialUrls, not bookingUrls.
[1.0] - 2026-08-23
Added
Console search by category + city + language (no need to copy a listing URL).
Optional phone / email filters (skipped rows are not billed).
whatsappUrl and socialUrls — WhatsApp is no longer stored as the company website.
