All notable changes to the Douban Scraper Actor.
topicUrls already dropped repeats of the same URL text, but the same topic in another form (an m.douban.com link next to a www one, http://, or the bare id) was still fetched once per form and, when Douban served the page outside deltaMode, delivered and charged once per form. Entries are now compared by topic id: the first keeps its place, and the log says how many repeats were removed.subjectUrls already compared subjects by id; unchanged.authorUsername, authorUrl, publishedAt and publishedAtIso null: Douban's movie review list shows no author link and no date.authorUrl is now filled from the numeric user id in the author's avatar (https://www.douban.com/people/<id>/). On test pages that show both, every numeric author link (10 of 10) matched the id in its avatar. An author with Douban's default avatar cannot be identified this way, so that row keeps authorUrl null. The same applies to book review rows marked listSource: "mobile".fetchFullReviewBody on (the default), when a movie review's detail names them, the row now also gets authorUsername, the author's own profile link in authorUrl, and the date (Beijing time) in publishedAt / publishedAtIso. Anything missing stays null. These fields have not yet been checked on a live run.subject_reviews and subject_comments re-read the same most-popular-first list every run, so the rows at its top — delivered on the first run and listed on every run since — were the first forgotten once a stream passed 20,000 rows, and the next run delivered and charged them again. A row listed again now counts as recent; only the rows Douban has gone longest without listing are forgotten.deltaMode are unchanged (checked offline against the previous commit).group_search modegroup_topic: Douban now answers topic pages with its login wall (4 of 4 measured on 24 Sep 2026, also through Apify). Such runs used to end with only "no billable items"; the status now names the topics Douban did not serve (not charged) and points to group_search, which works without login. The mode's title in the input form says so too.deltaMode itself works and is documented as before.group_search mode. Put a keyword in Search query. The run returns one row for each Douban Group discussion whose title contains that exact keyword, newest first, up to maxResults. Matching is case-insensitive for Latin letters.topicId, title, url (clean topic link, without the tracking parameter), groupId, groupName, groupUrl, replyCount, postedAt (Beijing time, +08:00), keyword, mode, type (group_search_result) and scrapedAt. If the listing does not show a value, the field is null, never a made-up 0.maxResults mentions, when the list ends, after 3 pages in a row without a title mention, when a page repeats topics already read, or at the first page Douban refuses (login wall or other refusal). The status says which of these ended the run.subject-search-result event ($0.005), the same event and price as subject_search results. No new events and no price changes.
