## Changelog

### 1.0 (release candidate, October 2026)

First version. Private on Apify until published. Pay per event: business-result and contact-enrichment.

- Google Maps search in any country and language, area search (coordinates + radius, max 64 cells), start URLs and
  place ids. One row per place, duplicates merged with every query appearance kept.
- Optional completion of company email, LinkedIn company, Instagram, Facebook, X and YouTube from the official
  website, only for requested fields Google Maps does not show.
- Change tracking with `monitorKey`, `onlyChanged`; conservative removal for tracked places.

Platform builds during development:

- 1.0.1 first build; access test without proxy, with datacenter and with residential proxy.
- 1.0.2 cheapest proxy ladder (no proxy first).
- 1.0.3 / 1.0.4 change detection before enrichment: unchanged businesses are not enriched again in onlyChanged runs.
- 1.0.5 one paused retry for websites that answer 429.
- 1.0.6 to 1.0.9 independent audit fixes: hours compared by day, shared websites not read, category changes no longer
  tracked, baseline per language and country, area grid always within 64 cells, maps.google.com/?cid links, one
  attempt per failing domain, store-then-charge in separate calls, snapshot format 2, place IDs as links in startUrls.
- 1.0.10 NEW_BUSINESS renamed NEW_RESULT (it is not a newly opened business); the isSponsored field removed (the
  source carries no sponsored marker); display name "Google Maps Scraper & Business Intelligence"; approved pricing.
