## Changelog

### 2026-10-20

- Fixed: searches returning 0 listings after Bayut changed how its search page loads results. Results are read from the page itself again, and pages load faster (no fixed wait per page)
- Full details are now fetched for a whole page of listings at once instead of opening every listing page — much faster and far lighter. Amenities now come grouped by Bayut's own sections (Features, Building, Health and Fitness, ...)

### v1.3 — 2026-09-12

- Lowered the default/prefill `maxListings` from 20 to 5 so the default run (with full details) comfortably finishes within Apify's automated health-check window

### v1.2 — 2026-09-12

- Fixed a rare hang during full-detail enrichment on the platform by adding watchdog timeouts around all browser navigation and page-read operations

### v1.1 — 2026-09-12

- Fixed a browser crash (out-of-memory) during full-detail enrichment on longer runs by blocking images/media/fonts and periodically recycling the browser page
- Added automatic recovery if the browser page crashes mid-run

### v1.0 — 2026-09-12

- Initial release
- Search by location (city/area) with price, bedroom, area, furnishing, completion status, and verified-only filters
- URL mode: paste Bayut search URLs directly, paginated automatically
- Optional full-detail enrichment: description, grouped amenities, Trakheesi permit number
- Incremental (change-tracking) mode and resume-from-run support
- UAE residential proxy with automatic anti-bot challenge handling
