In the recent runs I noticed the json output format has changed. Is this change expected?

CSV output has changed to snake case as well. Is this intended. If so Is there any way to switch between output formats

This seems like something that should have been a major version update. We're running this scraper in a cronjob and parsed the results in our project. Everything is broken because of this. Please don't make major changes like this without at least providing a changelog so we can update our code accordingly.

Yes, I completely agree with Lucas.

The recent update has caused multiple issues in my application, resulting in breakages across various parts of the code. Due to these unexpected changes, I now need to go through each affected area and manually apply fixes, which is quite time-consuming.

If a detailed changelog were provided with each update, it would make a significant difference for developers like us. It would allow us to quickly identify what was modified, evaluate the impact of those changes, and implement necessary adjustments more efficiently. This proactive information could save us time and prevent disruptions, making the entire update process far smoother.

Apologies for the inconveniences, Due to sudden change in facebook ad library website this change was inevitable.

But I will try to keep the output data format consistent in future, and if the change is not avoidable, will mention the changes in email as well as change log.
