## Changelog

### 0.1 (2026-10-30)

- Initial release: export Google Maps reviews for place URLs (full, short share, `?cid=` and `place_id:` links), place IDs and "business name + city" search queries.
- Each review row includes text, Google translation, stars, exact timestamp, likes, reviewer profile signals, owner response, review photos, aspect ratings and visit context, plus place rating, review count, address, categories, coordinates, website and phone.
- Sort by newest, most relevant, highest or lowest rating; filter by start date, star ratings and keyword; optional removal of reviewer personal data.
- Pricing: run start (includes the first place), a small fee per additional place looked up, and a fee per saved review. Chain and landmark search queries resolve to Google's top-ranked place.
- Proxy: Apify datacenter proxy (default) or your own proxy URLs; residential and Google SERP proxy groups are rejected at the start of the run with a clear error.
- When a maximum cost per run is set, the run stops at the limit, reports the reviews actually saved and marks the final status as partial.
- Known limits: owner responses carry Google's relative time only; edited reviews report the last-edit timestamp; rating sorts list a limited number of reviews per star level.
