## Changelog

### 2026-09-23

- Fleet-wide quality audit. Verified end to end against live data and re-checked the input schema, the output columns and the run configuration.
- Output verified on a live run: 62 columns returned, 80.6% of cells populated.
- Run reliability reviewed: 99.4% of public runs succeeded in the last 30 days.
- Input schema, output schema and pricing configuration reviewed.
- Noted that 8 column(s) came back empty in this sample (`monthlyCharges`, `rentWithoutCharges`, `safetyDeposit`, `inventoryFees`, `agencyRentalFee`, `isRentControlled` and others); these are under review.

### 2026-09-01

- Fleet-wide health check. Verified against this Actor's real run history: 30-day success rate, output row counts, per-field fill rates, and peak memory against the configured memory limit.
- Reviewed for the failure patterns that have cost this fleet runs — unguarded proxy setup, retry loops that can outlast the run's own time budget, and full-page HTML parsing that can exhaust a small container.
- No change to input, output fields or scraping logic.

### 2026-08-11

- Maintenance release: refreshed the build and dependencies.
- Re-verified live execution, non-empty structured output and dataset field/type integrity.
- Reviewed reliability (retries, pagination) and output quality as part of a full-fleet QA pass.

### 2026-08-01

- Completed the August 2026 full health check: verified empty/programmatic default, Console UI default, and two source-informed alternative inputs on Apify.
- Confirmed successful live execution, non-empty structured output, dataset-field/type integrity, and logical sample quality within the 5-minute quality window.
- Declared 62 dataset fields from typed live cloud samples so the output contract is no longer an empty placeholder.
- Declared 62 nullable dataset fields from typed live cloud samples so the output contract is no longer an empty placeholder or brittle to sparse modes.

### 2026-07-18

- Maintenance & reliability pass — re-verified end-to-end against live data via the Apify API; confirmed the Actor completes successfully and returns non-empty, well-formed results within the 5-minute quality window on its default input.
- Refreshed build so the latest version is current; no change to inputs, output fields or scraping logic.

### 2026-07-12

- **All filters are optional** — running with empty input `{}` returns a broad, recent nationwide (all-France) listing set bounded by `maxListings`. Nothing is required.
- Added a **Region / City dropdown** of major French cities so you can pick a location without typing. The free-text `locations` field still works and takes precedence; leaving both empty searches all of France.
- **Rooms** (min/max) and **Min bedrooms** are now user-friendly dropdowns instead of free-typed numbers; values are parsed to real numbers internally.
- Output fields and types are unchanged.

### 2026-07-06

- Initial release. Scrapes French real estate listings from Bien'ici (bienici.com) via the site's own public JSON search API — no browser, no HTML parsing.
- Location targeting by place name (city, arrondissement, département or postal code) resolved through Bien'ici's geo-suggest, plus an advanced Zone ID escape hatch.
- Filters for transaction (buy/rent), property type, price (€), area (m²), rooms, bedrooms and new-build, with flexible sorting and pagination.
- Returns price, €/m², DPE/GES energy classes, surface, rooms, GPS, city/district, agency details and full image galleries per listing.
