How comparison works

Provide matching sourceUrl values in baselineSnapshots and currentSnapshots. The Actor pairs those records, extracts the supported signals from each HTML document, and emits added, removed, updated, or unchanged rows. A captured HTML record may instead include previousHtml and currentHtml in htmlInputs.

changeSensitivity controls which observable differences are returned:

low keeps every supported field difference;
medium removes small text-length movement while retaining structural changes;
high focuses on title, date, heading, and FAQ-question differences.

Missing pairs, access-denied responses, and absent snapshots return diagnostic rows. They never become fabricated change records.

Input

Field	Purpose	Default / cap
`competitorUrls`	Competitor pages eligible for explicit current-page retrieval	empty
`baselineSnapshots`	Earlier HTML snapshots keyed by `sourceUrl`	empty
`currentSnapshots`	Later HTML snapshots keyed by `sourceUrl`	empty
`fetchCurrent`	Fetch `competitorUrls` as current snapshots	`false`
`changeSensitivity`	`low`, `medium`, or `high` filtering	`medium`
`includeDiffSnippets`	Include old-to-new evidence text	`true`
`maxTargets`	Maximum paired competitor targets	25 maximum
`maxComparisons`	Maximum change rows per pair	50 default, 250 maximum
`htmlInputs`	Captured records with HTML or previous/current HTML	empty
`allowedDomains`	Optional hostname allowlist for retrieval	empty
`maxPages`	Maximum pages retrieved	1 default, 25 maximum
`includeEvidence`	Preserve evidence excerpts in dataset rows	`true`
`includeRawSnapshots`	Store accepted raw snapshots in key-value storage	`false`
`maxChargeUsd`	Stop before the next event exceeds this amount	35 USD maximum

Example:

{
  "baselineSnapshots": [
    {
      "sourceUrl": "https://publisher.example/guide",
      "html": "<html><title>2025 Guide</title><h1>Annual planning</h1></html>"
    }
  ],
  "currentSnapshots": [
    {
      "sourceUrl": "https://publisher.example/guide",
      "html": "<html><title>2026 Guide</title><h1>Quarterly planning</h1></html>"
    }
  ],
  "changeSensitivity": "medium",
  "maxComparisons": 20,
  "maxChargeUsd": 5
}

The Store default performs no network request and returns a nonempty snapshots_required diagnostic. Enable fetchCurrent only when the supplied competitor URLs should be retrieved during the run.

Dataset output

Every row includes provenance fields such as sourceUrl, canonicalUrl, httpStatus, and scannedAt. Comparison fields include:

competitorUrl for the paired target;
changeType as added, removed, updated, or unchanged;
fieldName for the observed signal;
oldValue and newValue for the source-backed values;
changeMagnitude for a bounded structural or size indicator;
dateChangedSignal, sectionAdded, and sectionRemoved flags;
diffSnippet when evidence snippets are enabled;
issueCode, severity, evidenceSnippet, and recommendation for audit use.

An unchanged row means that no difference crossed the chosen sensitivity. It is not a claim that the entire page is identical outside the supported extraction fields.

Reports

When includeReport is enabled, key-value storage receives a Markdown digest, full CSV records, issue rows in JSON, bounded evidence excerpts, and run metadata. Raw HTML is stored only when includeRawSnapshots is explicitly enabled.

Pay-per-event pricing

Event	Price (USD)	When charged
`actor-start`	0.0350	after successful startup
`content-target-checked`	0.0115	once for each accepted competitor target
`content-snapshot-compared`	0.0115	before a supported snapshot comparison is emitted
`content-change-detected`	0.0225	before each paid observed-change row
`digest-generated`	0.0900	before the change digest is stored
`executive-report-generated`	0.1800	before the executive report artifacts are stored

Apify platform usage pass-through is off. Higher-tier Store discounts are reserved in the pricing policy. maxChargeUsd is checked before every event; rejected, partial, or over-budget charges stop the related output write.

Safety and interpretation

Only HTTP and HTTPS URLs are accepted for optional retrieval. Loopback and private IPv4 targets are rejected, domain allowlists can narrow accepted hosts, and page counts, timeouts, and comparison counts stay bounded. Discovered links are not crawled. Authentication walls and human-verification responses are recorded as diagnostics.

HTML comparison cannot observe browser state, content omitted from the response, or business intent. Retain dated snapshots, review the evidence excerpt, and validate material editorial decisions against the source page.
