Monitor reviews and detect what changed

Problem

You want to know when a business gets a new review — not re-download the same reviews every time you check.

Actors used

1. A source Actor from Reviews & Reputation — e.g. Google Maps Reviews Scraper
2. Review Cleaner & Deduplicator — if you’re combining review data from more than one source or need explicit dedup + delta

Inputs

{
  "placeUrls": ["https://www.google.com/maps/place/?q=place_id:ChIJN1t_tDeuEmsRUsoyG83frY4"],
  "maxTotalChargeUsd": 1
}

Steps

1. Run the source Actor matching your platform (Google/Yelp/Trustpilot/G2/TripAdvisor/Glassdoor/Amazon/App stores). Each already tracks new-vs-seen reviews on its own via its monitorEnabled input — most single-source use cases don’t need a second Actor.
2. If you’re pulling from multiple sources and want one unified new-review feed, pass the combined review data into Review Cleaner & Deduplicator as currentReviews.

Sample result shape

Illustrative — derived from the Actor’s real dataset schema, not live data.

{
  "author": "Dharmendra Yadav",
  "rating": 4,
  "text": "Amazing coffee and a cozy atmosphere.",
  "published_at": "12 hours ago",
  "actionable": false,
  "severity": "minor"
}
