# Review Change Monitor — Voice of Customer Alerts (Vigia) (`om_kh/vigia-reviews-delta`) Actor

Turn any review dataset into actionable alerts: only newly observed reviews, prioritized by urgency — 1-star spikes, refund threats, standout praise. Deduplicated and charged only on real changes. Ideal for reputation-management and customer-support agents.

## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## Review Alert & Rating Trend Monitor — Voice of Customer Delta (Vigia)

**Turn your own review exports into an early-warning system — pay only for reviews that need action.**

Feed Vigia the review data you already have (Trustpilot, Google, your own export, or any source you're authorized to use) and get back only newly observed reviews, classified by topic and severity, with a rolling rating trend — not just a dump of rows.

### Why choose Vigia

- **Only actionable reviews are charged** — most review trackers bill per review scraped whether it needs a response or not. Vigia's non-urgent reviews are delivered free; only low-score/urgent reviews generate a billable alert.
- **Rating trend, not just a snapshot** — in monitor mode Vigia remembers your historical average rating and reports `rating_trend`: is satisfaction improving or sliding since last time? Raw review dumps never give you this.
- **Topic classification** — every review is tagged `shipping` / `quality` / `support` / `pricing` / `other`, so you see *what* is driving complaints, not just that they exist.
- **Severity triage** — `critical` / `moderate` / `minor`, so the worst reviews surface first.
- **Aggregate signal** — each run returns a `review_signal`: counts by topic and severity, this run's average rating vs. historical average, and the single most urgent review.
- **Fair pricing** — hard `maxTotalChargeUsd` cap; never billed without a result.

### Honest positioning

This actor does **not** scrape Trustpilot, Google, or any platform itself — it's a delta, triage, and trend engine over review data **you already have** (your own export, or output from a licensed review-scraping actor you're authorized to use).

### Input

- `currentReviews` / `previousReviews` — your review records (`review_id`, `rating`, `text`, ...).
- `monitorEnabled` / `monitorId` — persistent delta mode; first run is a free baseline.
- `maxTotalChargeUsd` — hard spend cap.

### Output

One row per new review: `change_type: new`, `actionable`, `severity`, `topic`, `signals`. Plus a `RUN_SUMMARY.json` with the aggregate `review_signal` (including `rating_trend`).

### FAQ

**Does this actor fetch reviews from Trustpilot/Google itself?** No — see Honest positioning above.
**What makes a review "actionable"?** A rating of 2 or below, or urgency language (e.g. "no response", "refund", "scam").
**How is the rating trend computed?** Vigia keeps a rolling count/sum of ratings per monitor in a persistent store, so each run can compare its average against your full history.

# Actor input Schema

## `previousReviews` (type: `array`):

Reviews from the prior run; used to identify new feedback.
## `currentReviews` (type: `array`):

Current authorized review data to analyse.
## `maxTotalChargeUsd` (type: `number`):

Hard maximum amount that this run may charge.
## `sources` (type: `array`):

Declare every upstream source before this run. Each item needs name, authorization, and estimated_cost_usd.
## `monitorEnabled` (type: `boolean`):

The first monitored run stores a free baseline. Later runs deliver and charge only new results.
## `monitorId` (type: `string`):

Pins the persistent baseline to a name of your choice, so separate targets never share state. Leave empty to derive it automatically.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "previousReviews": [],
  "currentReviews": [
    {
      "review_id": "example-1",
      "rating": 1,
      "text": "Nobody answered my request"
    }
  ],
  "maxTotalChargeUsd": 1,
  "sources": [
    {
      "name": "Customer-authorized input",
      "authorization": "customer_authorized",
      "estimated_cost_usd": 0
    }
  ],
  "monitorEnabled": false,
  "monitorId": ""

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("om_kh/vigia-reviews-delta").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
