## Changelog

All notable changes to this Actor will be documented in this file.

### \[1.2] - 2026-09-27

#### Fixed

- 🛠️ Runs with the default settings now return DubiCars listings reliably instead of ending with a blocked-request error. The default proxy is now UAE residential.

### \[1.1] - 2026-09-21

#### Changed

- 🏷️ Renamed the monitoring scope input field to `monitorScope` for clarity. Existing scheduled runs that already pass the previous field name continue to work without any changes.

### \[1.0] - 2026-08-18

#### Added

- ✨ Added a unified DubiCars scraper for public category, brand, model, dealer, and `.html` vehicle URLs, with normalized inventory and vehicle-detail records.
- ➕ Added snapshot output with vehicle identity, pricing, specifications, location, public seller signals, images, badges, and source timestamps when available.
- 📈 Added bounded Changes Only monitoring keyed to a user-supplied monitor, emitting new, updated, and price-changed listings while suppressing unchanged records by default.
- ➕ Added practical filters and caps for vehicle attributes, pricing, model year, mileage, pages, detail enrichment, images, concurrency, and request pacing.

#### Changed

- 🌐 Enforced a public HTML-only boundary: the Actor accepts approved DubiCars listing pages and pagination, while private, search, API, AJAX, authentication, and off-domain routes are rejected.
- ⚙️ Made detail depth selectable: direct `.html` pages can return full public detail, while discovery pages can remain summaries or receive bounded detail enrichment.
- 🛡️ Improved source-failure handling so blocked or failed pages are reported rather than treated as successful empty inventory; monitoring state advances only after a complete scan.
- 📦 Kept execution in on-demand batch mode with standby disabled.

#### Security

- 🔒 Excluded contact harvesting: phone numbers, email addresses, WhatsApp details, and other direct contact information are not collected.
- 🛡️ Limited seller data to publicly displayed identity, profile, and marketplace signals, with no private contact fields.
