Watchlist mode — delta tracking

Enable watchlistMode: true to only get reviews published since your last run. The actor saves a timestamp after each run and uses it automatically next time.

{
  "apps": ["com.spotify.music"],
  "watchlistMode": true
}

Run on a schedule → only new reviews flow into your pipeline each time. When sorted by newest, the actor stops pagination as soon as it reaches already-seen reviews — fast and efficient.

You can also set a one-time start date manually with sinceDate:

{
  "apps": ["com.spotify.music"],
  "sinceDate": "2026-06-01T00:00:00Z"
}
