## Changelog

This changelog highlights releases that materially changed Transfermarkt Scraper for users. Dates use UTC; routine internal maintenance is omitted.

### 2026-09-17

*Reliability*

- Added API fallbacks for current club squads and competition standings when Transfermarkt's public HTML routes return an asynchronous HTTP 202 response.
- Historical-season runs still use the public season pages and fail safely rather than labeling current API data as historical.

*Presentation*

- Updated Store discovery copy and examples to surface the existing player, club, competition, and normalized-transfer workflows.

### 2026-08-18

*Pricing*

- Added the `$0.001` `result-scraped` event for each club, squad member, competition, season-statistics, or normalized transfer row. Existing run-start and player-profile pricing is unchanged.

*Reliability*

- Restored player-name searches and direct player URLs when Transfermarkt profile pages respond with HTTP 202, including optional transfer-history workflows.

### 2026-08-03

*Features*

- Added backward-compatible `players`, `clubs`, `competitions`, and `transfers` modes. Existing inputs still default to player profiles.
- Added season squads, competition standings/statistics, and normalized player, club, or competition transfer rows in dedicated run datasets.
- Added optional season selection with a current-football-season default for club, competition, and transfer workflows.

*Reliability*

- Updated player transfer-history extraction for Transfermarkt's current transfer data endpoint.

### 2026-03-26

*Features*

- Initial release for finding football players by name or direct profile URL and exporting structured profile, club, contract, and market-value data.
- Added support for six Transfermarkt language editions and optional player transfer histories.
