Changelog

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.
Normalized Open Library's year-0 unknown sentinel to null, aligned README examples with the numeric dataset contract, and made total API failure explicit instead of succeeding with an empty dataset.

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

Empty input now returns data. Previously an empty {} run errored ("search requires query/title/author"). Added a new Trending / Popular mode which is now the default, and every mode falls back to popular books when its specific input is missing. Nothing is required (required: []).
Added Subject / Genre dropdown (select) with 34 common genres (still accepts a custom slug).
Added Sort Order dropdown for search (relevance, rating, popularity, editions, oldest/newest, random).
Added Trending Period dropdown (now / today / week / month / year).
Output quality: numeric fields (firstPublishYear, editionCount, ratingsAverage, ratingsCount) are now real numbers instead of strings — matches the number column formats.
Proxy: uses Apify Proxy AUTO; falls back to a direct connection on the final retry (public API).
Added a ~4-minute time budget to paginations — pushes what was collected and exits successfully.
Dataset schema: added per-field fields JSON schema (titles + descriptions). Output & dataset schemas linked in .actor/actor.json.
No existing output field keys were renamed.
