## Changelog

### 1.1 update — 8 October 2026

- **Only new ads** (monitoring mode) for scheduled runs: each run checks an advertiser's most recent ads and saves, and charges, only ads that earlier runs didn't return. Ads seen before are skipped before their previews are fetched, so repeat runs are quick. History is kept in your own Apify account; **Monitor name** keeps separate histories.

### 1.1 — 6 October 2026

- Better advertiser matching for names: an advertiser based in the chosen region wins ("Adidas" in the US is Adidas America, Inc), otherwise the brand's main home-market account ("Apple" is Apple Inc, not a Korean advertiser also called Apple). Accents are ignored, and names that only contain the query inside another word ("adidasi") no longer match.

### 1.0 — 5 October 2026

- First release: ads by advertiser name, domain or ID from the Ads Transparency Center, country and format filters, ad text and images from previews.
