## Changelog

This changelog highlights releases that materially changed Google Ads Scraper for users. Dates use UTC; small internal refactors and routine maintenance are intentionally omitted.

### 2026-09-11

*Fixes*

- Fixed Thailand region filtering so `TH` and `th` return ads shown in Thailand instead of an empty dataset.

### 2026-09-09

*Reliability*

- Prevented one slow Google request from consuming the full run deadline, allowing advertiser searches to continue through bounded fallback routes.
- Kept cookies and proxy identity together during route rotation, improving recovery for domain and multi-brand searches.
- Runs that produce no ads because every operational route failed now fail explicitly instead of reporting a successful empty dataset.

### 2026-08-31

*Features*

- Added format-dependent ad copy, headline, body, call-to-action, destination, and media URL fields so creative exports are more useful without opening Google manually. Unavailable values remain null.

### 2026-08-18

*Features*

- Added optional ad-format and inclusive shown-date filters for campaign-specific exports while preserving unfiltered defaults.

### 2026-06-19

*Features*

- Added public Store task examples so users can start common Google Ads scraping workflows faster.

### 2026-06-07

*Integrations*

- Made Google Ads Scraper available as an n8n community node for workflow automation.

### 2026-06-05

*Reliability*

- Improved timeout handling so larger Google Ads searches stop cleanly with saved partial results instead of timing out.

### 2026-06-03

*Reliability*

- Runs without a search term, domain, or advertiser ID now finish gracefully with guidance instead of failing immediately.

### 2026-05-20

*Reliability*

- Improved Google Ads Transparency Center request retries to reduce transient run failures.

### 2026-03-20

*Features*

- Initial release for scraping Google Ads Transparency Center advertiser ads, creatives, formats, dates, and related ad metadata.
