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.
Fixed the run Output link from {{links.apiDefaultDatasetUrl}} to {{links.apiDefaultDatasetUrl}}/items so the results table opens the dataset items endpoint.

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
Running with empty input {} now works: with no URLs or keywords the scraper browses Letterboxd's popular films (and, when review scraping is on, extracts their reviews) instead of exiting. No input field is required anymore.
Added a Popular / Trending Films mode plus a Popular Films — Sort / Period dropdown (popular this week/month/year, all-time, highest rated, newest releases).
Years are now stored as real numbers (year, filmYear) instead of strings. All existing review-extraction behaviour and output field names are unchanged.
Added a soft 4-minute time budget on paginations so long runs finish gracefully with whatever was collected.
Added a full dataset field schema (titles + descriptions, nullable types) and switched numeric columns (year, ratings, likes) to number display format.
2026-06-28
Fixed "Under maintenance" quality flag: search queries are now gated behind mode === 'search' — the prefill input was running 2 extra searches + all their result film pages even in 'film' mode, causing timeout.
Parallelized full-text review fetches for up to 5× faster review extraction.
Cleaned up searchQueries prefill to avoid unintended work in non-search modes.
2026-06-20
Maintenance & reliability pass: re-verified end-to-end against live data and confirmed the Actor completes successfully within the 5-minute quality window on the default input.
Refreshed the prefilled example input and tuned run defaults for faster, lower-cost runs.
