## Changelog

### 2026-09-26

*Reliability*

- Search queries with a verified zero-match response now finish without result rows instead of reporting a scraping failure; blocked or unrecognizable pages still fail.

### 2026-09-25

*Reliability*

- Requests with no usable business or search target now finish with no result rows or result charge and an `INPUT_DIAGNOSTIC` record, rather than failing a scraping run. Actual access and extraction errors still fail.

### 2026-09-24

*Reliability*

- Kept valid review URLs and search queries running when another entry in the same batch is malformed or blank; all-invalid batches were initially reported as failed runs (changed on 2026-09-25).

### 2026-09-21

*Reliability*

- Accepted locale Trustpilot review URLs (such as `uk.trustpilot.com`) without constructing malformed nested review URLs.
- Rejected unsupported or malformed business URLs before starting browser navigation.

### 2026-09-04

*Features*

- Added inclusive `publishedDateFrom` and `publishedDateTo` filters for incremental review monitoring, with an early pagination cutoff when recency-sorted pages are older than the requested window.

### 2026-08-21

*Reliability*

- Continued large review exports beyond Trustpilot's anonymous 10-page limit by using deduplicated rating partitions.

### 2026-08-17

*Reliability*

- Added resilient review extraction from Trustpilot's rendered schema.org data when `__NEXT_DATA__` is unavailable.
- Fixed terminal extraction errors so affected runs report a failed status instead of succeeding with an empty dataset.

### 2026-07-12

*Reliability*

- Fixed repeated runs with retained local storage so previously handled or failed requests cannot cause empty datasets.
- Improved recovery from timed-out Trustpilot navigation by retrying with a fresh browser session and proxy connection.

### 2026-05-18

*Reliability*

- Reduced Trustpilot scraping timeouts and retries to lower costs and fail faster on blocked pages.

### 2026-03-18

*Features*

- Expanded Trustpilot scraping to include reviews, search, and richer business profile fields.

### 2026-03-03

*Features*

- Launched Trustpilot business scraping for ratings, trust scores, and contact data.
