Enhancements
Added field addressOrUrlFromInput to help you match output items with your input. Possible values:
address string that you used in input.addresses (e.g. 363 Washington Ave APT 64, Miami Beach, FL 33139)
URL of the property from input.startUrls (e.g. https://www.zillow.com/homes/363-Washington-Ave-.num.64-Miami-Beach,-FL-33139_rb/43904854_zpid/)
dataset index + URL (e.g. dataset#0: https://www.zillow.com/homes/363-Washington-Ave-.num.64-Miami-Beach,-FL-33139_rb/43904854_zpid/ - this means that this input URL was the first item (= index 0) in the dataset specified by searchResultsDatasetId)
The Actor now marks every output item with boolean isValid field
Added new output items that inform about invalid search addresses. They look something like this:
{
"invalidReason":"Invalid address or Zillow has no data for this address",
"isValid":false,
"addressOrUrlFromInput":"123456789 Washington Ave",
"scrapedAt":"2024-04-22T13:57:28.613Z"
}
Current possible reasons for invalid items:
"Best search result is not an exact address (this is probably a region, ZIP code or similar)"
"Invalid address or Zillow has no data for this address"

Fixes/Enhancements
If you input many addresses to search, the Actor starts producing first results sooner. This fixes the Low number of results detected error.

Addresses where Zillow has no data are no longer considered a failed request. This fixes the High number of failed requests error.
