## Changelog

### v1.4 — 2026-09-27

- Much faster: "Newest" now uses Coupang's own newest-first ordering, so only the pages needed for your review count are fetched. Previously the Actor downloaded every review page of a product (up to 300) before sorting, which could take 15+ minutes on popular products even for a single review, and if that sweep stopped early the "newest" reviews returned were only the newest of the pages it had reached.
- New option **Only reviews for the option in the URL** (`sameOptionOnly`): Coupang shows one shared review list for all options of a product; turn this on to keep only reviews for the exact option (`vendorItemId`/`itemId`) in your URL.
- Review pages are fetched a few at a time over reused sessions instead of starting a fresh session for every page.
- The summary row's photo/video counts now show Coupang's own totals for the product, not just the reviews fetched in this run.
- Default memory raised to 512 MB — at 128 MB the Actor was CPU-starved and ran several times slower.

### v1.3 — 2026-09-17

- Cleaned up run logs: per-attempt retry noise (raw status codes/URLs) is no longer shown by default, replaced with a single plain-language message if a product's reviews genuinely can't be reached. Lowered default Actor memory to 128 MB (typical runs use ~90 MB).

### v1.2 — 2026-09-17

- Fixed a warm-up bug that made some products' reviews permanently unreachable: the product-page fetch was judged "not fully loaded" purely by a fixed byte-length cutoff, but genuine fully-rendered pages for some products land right under that cutoff, so the actor kept discarding good page loads and retrying until it gave up. Now checks for the real block-page markers and for the product's own itemId/vendorItemId actually being present, instead of guessing from length alone. Also raised the retry budget per fetch (6 → 15) for resilience against Unblocker proxy flakiness.

### v1.1 — 2026-09-13

- Added a default and prefill value of 5 to Max reviews per product, fixing a failed automated test caused by the field being left empty.

### v1.0

- Initial release. Scrapes Coupang.com Korea product reviews by URL or product ID: rating, title, content, helpful counts, reviewer photos/videos, and a per-product rating-distribution summary. Filter by star rating, keyword, or photos/videos only; sort by newest or best.
