## Changelog

All notable changes to this Actor are documented here.

### \[0.1.3] — 2026-08-06

#### Added

- Product rating summary: one analysis record per product with the star
  distribution as percentages, positive/negative split, verified and photo
  shares, reviews per year, a 12-month sentiment trend, the best- and
  worst-rated attributes and the most helpful review. Computed from reviews the
  run already fetched, so it costs no extra requests.
- Source-reported figures (`statistics_*`, the whole product) are kept separate
  from what the run actually read (`delivered_*`), so a capped run never implies
  its sample is the product.

### \[0.1.2] — 2026-08-06

#### Added

- Keyword search. Give it a term like "laptops" and it finds the products, then
  reads their reviews — no need to know a TCIN. `maxProducts` bounds how many
  products a term resolves to (default 10), because each one costs its own
  review requests.
- Products and keywords can be combined in one run.

### \[0.1.1] — 2026-08-06

#### Added

- Sort the delivered reviews: newest, oldest, highest rating, lowest rating or most
  helpful. Target ignores sort requests, so the order is applied to the reviews the
  run collected — with a Max Reviews cap the run reads the first N in Target's own
  order and ranks those. Set Max Reviews to 0 to rank across a product in full.

### \[0.1.0] — 2026-08-05

First release.

#### Added

- Reviews and star ratings for any Target.com product, by product URL or TCIN.
- Full review record: text, title, rating, verified-purchase and recommended
  flags, customer photos, per-attribute ratings, helpful/unhelpful votes,
  author and submission dates.
- Product-level rating summary on every row: average, total ratings, written
  review count, the full 1-5 distribution and recommended percentage.
- Products that carry ratings but no written review still return a record, so a
  rating average is never lost to an empty result.
- Filters: verified purchases only, reviews with photos only, minimum star rating.
- Incremental mode — emit only new or changed reviews between runs.
- Notifications (Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, generic webhook) and export
  to a connected app.

#### Notes

- Target serves at most 2,550 reviews per product; runs that reach that ceiling
  say so rather than reporting the truncated set as complete.
- Target ignores review sort order, so no sort input is offered.
