September 2025 monthly summary: Delivered cross-language enhancements for Actor permission testing by introducing the forcePermissionLevel run option in both JS and Python client libraries. This enables testing Actors with specific permissions without altering configurations or redeploying, reducing test overhead and configuration drift. Result: parity across clients and streamlined developer workflows.

August 2025 — apify/apify-docs: Updated API Rate Limit Policy to reflect higher platform rate limits. Default rate limit doubled from 30 to 60 requests/sec; per-endpoint cap increased from 200 to 400 requests/sec where applicable. The change is documented and backed by commit ac62e3c3c094d3559e074c3ef8d701e5c6bd9f6b. Business impact: clearer guidance for developers on scalable request strategies; reduces friction in high-load scenarios; aligns docs with current platform capabilities. No major bugs fixed in this repo this month. Technologies demonstrated: documentation authoring, policy description, version control traceability, cross-team alignment.

In June 2025, delivered the Public Actor Permissions framework in apify/apify-shared-js, adding resource access specification to input schemas (READ/WRITE) and introducing the ACTOR_PERMISSION_LEVEL enum (FULL_PERMISSIONS/LIMITED_PERMISSIONS). This unifies permission handling, improves security, and provides a clear, client-referenced permission model for actor execution. No major bugs fixed this month. Impact includes stronger resource governance, better security posture, and a foundation for scalable public Actor sharing. Skills demonstrated include schema design, API/SDK surface augmentation, and security-conscious design.

Month: 2025-04 — This month focused on strengthening access control across core Apify assets by centralizing and clarifying API semantics, and by enabling finer-grained resource-level permissions. Delivered two major feature sets across apify-shared-js and apify-client-js, with a clear impact on security, configurability, and compliance. No explicit major bugs were reported in the provided scope; the main work reduced risk by consolidating access control semantics and enabling per-resource overrides that align with customer security requirements.

February 2025: Documentation update completed for Standby Mode Scoped Token limitation in apify/apify-docs. Clarified that restricted access using scoped tokens is not supported for Actors running in Standby mode and added cautionary notes to the relevant documentation pages to inform users about this limitation. The change is anchored to commit 0d4a8572b883e5639243d3f924b8cbc340c94a7a. This work enhances accuracy and reduces potential user confusion and support inquiries by aligning docs with product behavior.

December 2024: Focused documentation enhancements for scoped API tokens in apify/apify-docs to clarify run modes (Full vs Restricted), Actor runtime permissions, interactions with default storages, and guidance for troubleshooting common permission issues. This work improves security posture, reduces misconfigurations, and accelerates task execution for developers in production.
