What this task does
Compares each run of a source Actor against its previous one and emits only the items whose price field changed, with old and new values, ignoring fields that move on their own like timestamps and rank. Add a Slack, Discord or Telegram webhook and the changes arrive as a message. It runs on Dataset Diff - Only New & Changed Items From Any Actor, costs $2e-05 per item compared, and exports to CSV, JSON or Excel.

Get only new places from a Google Maps scraper run
Chains after the Google Maps Scraper on your account and returns only the places that were not in its previous run, keyed on placeId, instead of the full list every time. The first run records a baseline and reports nothing; from the second run on you get the delta.
