- **URL**: https://apify.com/khadinakbar/flipkart-reviews-scraper/changelog.md
- **Full Actor documentation**: https://apify.com/khadinakbar/flipkart-reviews-scraper.md

### 0.1 — 2026-06-21

- Initial release. Scrapes Flipkart product reviews via product or product-reviews URL.
- PlaywrightCrawler (Chromium) with Apify Residential proxy pinned to India, fingerprint pool, and session pool with cookie persistence; image/media/font bytes blocked to cut residential bandwidth.
- Layout-agnostic extractor: anchors on the buyer-label text and parses fields positionally, so it survives Flipkart's rotating obfuscated CSS classes AND works on both the classic web and React-Native-Web review front-ends.
- Per-review fields: rating, title, body (expanded past 'READ MORE'/'more'), author, location, verified-purchase flag, date (absolute or relative), helpful/unhelpful votes, variant, and review images. Plus one product\_summary record per product (total ratings/reviews, average, 5-1 star distribution).
- Pagination via \&page=N with cross-page dedup; sort modes MOST\_HELPFUL / MOST\_RECENT / POSITIVE\_FIRST / NEGATIVE\_FIRST.
- Pay-per-event: actor-start $0.00005, review-scraped $0.004. Triple-guarded charge counter + upfront cost-cap log.
- Soft-fail on bad input; honest-fail (Actor.fail) only when every page was blocked (reCAPTCHA / empty render), never a silent empty-dataset success.
