feat(connectors): add 5 benthepythondev actors to apify

Openbenthepythondev00wants to merge intofrom

Disclosure: I (benthepythondev on Apify) am the author and operator of every actor in this PR.

Summary

Extends the existing apify provider with five benthepythondev Store actors that have steady monthly users and a clean single-call output: Remote Jobs Aggregator (six keyless remote boards, deduplicated), German federal job search (Arbeitsagentur), Yahoo Finance ticker data, Reddit posts and comment threads, and SocialBlade creator stats. Each doc is pure endpoint data on the inherited lifecycle, fromError and evidence; only remote-jobs-aggregator overrides evidence (two metered lines). Ids are the Store slugs. Rates are Business-tier (GOLD) pins from GET /v2/acts/{id} pricingInfos read 2026-10-26; three are the scheduled prices that take effect 2026-11-04/09 (ahead of schedule, D3). Schemas are the scaffold's output, keys unquoted, string arrays curated. Decision record: openspec/changes/add-apify-benthepythondev-actors/design.md (D1-D4). No engine, shared/, config.yml or version change.

Overlap: Reddit is already covered by trudax/reddit-scraper-lite, practicaltools/apify-reddit-api and crawlerbros/reddit-comment-scraper; the doc names them. Ours costs $0.0024 a row plus $0.00004 a start (trudax: $0.0034 + $0.04), returns comment trees with the "load more" branches resolved, and reads past Reddit's ~950-post list end with deepScrape. The other four overlap nothing in the catalog.

State-keeping inputs (onlyNew, monitorId, watchName, trackHistory, ...) are dropped at the binding: through Monid every caller shares one runner account (D1).

Verification

  • deno test connectors/apify scripts/drift: 31 passed, 0 failed (the five docs run in every generic loop; remote-jobs has its hand-computed chain count)
  • deno lint connectors/apify clean · deno check connectors/apify clean
  • deno task compiler:compile twice, byte-identical catalog
  • ids.lock.json gains exactly the five ids
  • Live drill 2026-10-26: each endpoint run once through deno task engine:run against the live actors. Rows and settled credits: Yahoo 2 rows $0.00804 · Reddit 3 rows $0.00724 · Remote jobs 3 rows $0.01444 · Arbeitsagentur 1 row $0.00124 · SocialBlade 1 row $0.00244. A SocialBlade body with plain-string URLs came back as Apify's 400 invalid-input at zero usage, and the schema now takes {url} objects only.

Walkthrough

Adds five Apify endpoints for Yahoo Finance, Arbeitsagentur jobs, remote jobs, Reddit, and SocialBlade. The endpoints define actor-run requests, input handling, and usage estimates. The Reddit endpoint also validates output. The change adds test inputs, endpoint identifiers, a remote-jobs lifecycle expectation, and design notes about actor bindings and billing.

Priority: Normal

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to f8fcb

Enforce the shared-account state restrictions before merging: callers can currently enable controls that affect other callers’ results or shared history. Reddit also needs corrected credit estimates and date validation.

⚠️ Unverified finding Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Count distinct URLs in the pre-run estimate.

If profileUrls contains 100 copies of one URL and maxProfiles is 100, this estimate reports 100 result rows. The actor processes duplicate URLs once, while provider evidence counts the rows actually returned. Count distinct profileUrls[].url values before applying maxProfiles. This usage.estimate change is billing-sensitive. (apify.com)

As per path instructions, changes to usage.estimate are high risk.

Review comments at
@connectors/apify/endpoints/jobs/remote-jobs-aggregator/endpoint.ts:
- Line 49: Update the compiled body schema chain around `.omit()` to reject
unknown keys, including caller-supplied `onlyNew` and `resetState`, while
leaving the vendor mirror unchanged.

Review comments at
@connectors/apify/endpoints/reddit/reddit-scraper/endpoint.ts:
- Around line 88-90: Update the comments estimate so it adds maxComments only
for post mode or subreddit mode, treating an omitted mode as the actor’s default
subreddit mode; do not add comment rows for user or search mode merely because
includeComments is true.
- Line 52: Apply strictness to the derived Reddit binding schema after its omit
call so extra properties such as onlyNew and watchName are rejected rather than
forwarded to the actor. Leave the vendor mirror unchanged.

Review comments at
@connectors/apify/endpoints/reddit/reddit-scraper/schema/inputs.ts:
- Line 55: Update the input schema’s sinceDate validation to reject invalid
dates and constrain delaySeconds to the vendor-supported range of 0.5 through
10, while leaving unrelated fields unchanged.

Review comments at
@connectors/apify/endpoints/socialblade/socialblade-scraper/endpoint.ts:
- Line 42: Update the binding around `.omit({ trackHistory: true })` to
explicitly reject requests that include `trackHistory`, rather than relying on
the omitted schema field; ensure such requests cannot forward `trackHistory` to
the actor.
