MediaWatch 🎬 — media release monitor (Apify pay-per-event actor)

Status: SPIKED + LOCAL PROOF. Not yet deployed (awaiting Apify token + TMDB key).

A serverless Apify Actor that monitors a list of TV/movie titles and emits a pay-per-event release_change event whenever a release date or availability status changes. Billed per event via Apify Pay-Per-Event (PPE).

How it works

Input: list of {name, type, year?, tmdbId?}.
Engine (source-agnostic) fingerprints each title's release state.
Persists last-known state in the actor's key-value store.
Any changed field → one release_change EVENT row (the PPE billing unit).
Snapshot rows are always written (free; doubles as demo/health data).

Files

src/engine.js — core, source-agnostic state engine (unit-testable)
src/tmdb.js — live TMDB provider (needs TMDB_API_KEY)
test/mock-provider.js + test/spike.mjs — offline proof (no keys)
.actor/ — Apify actor + input schema; Dockerfile — deploy image
main.js — Apify SDK entry

Run locally (spike, no keys)

$node test/spike.mjs
