Description is empty again. It's very frustrating. https://console.apify.com/actors/runs/pfaoZLvZn9G1HHFi7#output

Yes, Its frustrating for me as well. Let me check whats wrong

Now, the structure got different and it broke all our pipelines.

descriptionText was an object. and it had a property named 'text'

nikita-sviridenko avatar

Can we revert to the original structure?

curious_coder avatar

I will try to keep the structure consistent in future, but can't revert it as there are other people who might have already adapted to new structure.

Also when doing web scraping, data structures and availability of information can change frequently due to changes in underlying websites

But it had the old structure for months and has the new one for just 6 hours.

We need to rebuild everything. And probably all other users.

But as a provider of an API, a paid API, you can ensure consistency by doing validation with zod or any other library. You can also set up sentry so that you get alerted before we write here.

I just checked and actually the current structure was same as the structure which was there from long time.

The object type for descriptionText was present only for few hours which was fixed later.

I can share screenshots. The object was there for months. All our automations expect it to be an object.

Then it must be a mistake in old version, descriptionText should actually be a text not an object.
