## Changelog

### 2026-10-03

*Features*

- Exports now include source-reported check-in, visitor and tip counts, category and chain IDs, country codes, time zones, and available social contact references.
- Keep structured opening and popular-hours periods alongside the existing readable schedules.
- Inspect per-city coverage and skipped targets in a machine-readable run summary, without confusing the public page sample with Foursquare's total location count.

*Integrations*

- Failed operations report sanitized diagnostics to our private error service to support repairs, with 30-day retention.

### 2026-09-22

*Reliability*

- Accept equivalent Foursquare location links from the app, www, bare, and redirect hosts, including legacy HTTP links.
- Skip invalid or unavailable targets independently so one bad entry no longer discards useful results from the rest of a batch.

### 2026-07-21

*Features*

- Initial release for extracting public Foursquare brand locations by city.
- Returns venue identity, address, coordinates, contact details, categories, hours, ratings, selected tips, photos, and source links.
- Supports exact Foursquare location URLs and convenient brand/city pair inputs for recurring market checks.
