The specific Actors that are affected are listed for each change. #### 2026-09-08 *BREAKING CHANGES (`tripadvisor-reviews`)* - The Actor now runs with limited permissions.

TripAdvisor no longer provides WhatsApp contact links, so this field was always `null`. #### 2026-05-14 *BREAKING CHANGES (`tripadvisor-reviews`)* - The `lang` field now reflects the **display language** of the review text (which may be a machine translation), instead of the original language. Use the new `originalLanguage` field if you need the language the review was written in. *Features (`tripadvisor-reviews`)* - Added `disableMachineTranslations` input option: when enabled, TripAdvisor returns reviews in their original language without machine translation - Added `originalLanguage` output field: the language the review was originally written in - Added `isMachineTranslated` output field: indicates whether the review text shown is a machine translation #### 2026-05-11 *Features (`tripadvisor`)* - Added "👥 Add-on: Business leads enrichment" section with three new options: - `maximumLeadsEnrichmentRecords` ("⏩ Add-on: Extract business leads information - Maximum leads per domain ($)"): Allows setting the maximum number of leads to extract per domain found.
