## Changelog

### 0.1.4 — 2026-11-02

**Deeper city coverage, working rentals, and a full quality pass.**

- 🐛 **Fixed thin for-sale results.** The scraper previously harvested only the city *landing* page, which exposes just a couple of search groups — a broad `buy` query for Mumbai returned only ~31 listings. The actor now expands each city into its **locality (`-gid`) and filter (`-fid`) search pages** and harvests their search groups too. A fresh Mumbai `buy` run now returns **400 de-duplicated listings in ~30 s** (previously 31) with **0 duplicates** and **100% coverage** on `id`, `url`, `title`, `subtitle`, `address`, `priceDisplay`, `propertyType`, `sellerName`/`sellerType` (and ~99% `sellerPhone`).
- 🐛 **Fixed rentals returning 0 results.** The `rent` landing-page URL was wrong (`/in/rent/real-estate-{city}` 404s); it now uses the correct `/in/rent/{city}`. Rentals now return the city's published listings (verified in a fresh Mumbai `rent` run) instead of an empty dataset.
- ✨ **Added embedded-listing harvesting.** The actor now also reads listings embedded directly in each page's hydration state. This makes the crawl resilient when a search page is blocked and is the primary source for rentals, where the landing page carries listings but no search groups.
- 📝 **Rewrote the README** to the current output: accurate field reference and coverage notes, a real fresh-run output example, honest buy-vs-rent scale guidance, pagination details and an expanded FAQ.
- ✅ **Verified** on the Apify platform with Indian residential proxies: no value bugs (`[object Object]`, scheme-less URLs, price anomalies — none), stable de-duplication on the listing `id`.
