## Changelog

All notable changes to the IndiaMart Unlimited Product Search Scraper are documented here.

### \[1.1.0] - 2026-08-31

#### Changed

- Bound each API request to three attempts and removed the potentially 10,000-call automatic price-bucket fallback.
- Deduplicate products across every query in a run and publish an `OUTPUT` run summary.
- Treat a legitimate short or empty IndiaMART response as complete instead of requiring the requested maximum to exist.
- Validate query, location, price-order, result-limit, and proxy bounds before network work.
- Reuse one Actor proxy configuration and support both Apify and custom proxy URLs.
- Replace the Playwright image and unused browser dependencies with the smaller Node Actor image and deterministic `npm ci` install.
- Exclude generated QA data and the unused captured `src/search.js` asset from cloud sources.

#### Added
