## Changelog

### 0.2 (2026-10-05)

- New **trending mode**: scrapes github.com/trending by language, period (daily, weekly, monthly) and
  spoken language. Rank, stars, forks, stars gained in the period, language, description and "built by"
  logins. No token and no API requests. Optional `enrichTrending` adds full API stats per row.
- New **auto mode**, now the default. `mode` is no longer required: the Actor picks repos, org, trending
  or search from the fields you fill.
- Prefill is now today's trending list, so the first run works without a token on shared IPs.
- Rate limit: when the GitHub API limit stops a run before any repo is saved, the run ends SUCCEEDED
  with one free `RATE_LIMITED` help row that says when the limit resets and how to fix it.
- Default `maxRateLimitWaitSecs` lowered from 600 to 120 seconds.
- New dataset view **Trending** and fields `trendingRank`, `trendingPeriod`, `trendingLanguage`,
  `starsInPeriod`, `builtBy`.
- Tiered prices for paid Apify plans: Bronze -10 %, Silver -20 %, Gold -30 %. Free plan price unchanged.
- Listing: new title "GitHub Scraper: Repo Stats, Stars, Trending & Search", README rewrite.

### 0.1 (2026-09-27)
