## Changelog

- 2026-09-18 - Improved the input form by grouping optional controls under Advanced options.

### 0.5 — 2026-09-16

#### Fixed

- Product results now always include a usable current price; incomplete listing cards are skipped.

- 2026-09-08 - Feature: Added complete dataset field definitions for API and agent integrations.

- 2026-07-28 - Change: Improved AliExpress start-URL runs so saved products are charged consistently and recent external-run failures no longer reproduce.

- 2026-07-28 - Change: Improved successful results for default AliExpress searches

### 0.4

- Improved successful results for default AliExpress searches.
- Improved listing-page reliability for AliExpress search and wholesale pages.

### 0.3

- Rejects empty input, invalid price ranges, malformed locale codes, and non-AliExpress start URLs before charging.
- Retries temporary access problems and incomplete responses with bounded backoff.
- Detects access challenges, repeated result pages, and duplicate product IDs instead of silently returning misleading success.
- Saves each product and its `result` charge together, and publishes a typed `RUN_SUMMARY` with partial-run resume input.
- Adds backward-compatible `shippingText`, `storeId`, and `tags` output fields plus a structured run summary.
- Honors a configurable work budget so slow runs stop admitting pages early enough to preserve a resumable summary.
- Treats an early safety cutoff as resumable partial completion even when the first page did not finish.
- Keeps proxy country aligned with the requested ship-to country and can use a final direct fallback after repeated proxy challenges.
- Adds a bounded browser fallback for listing pages that remain behind an AliExpress access challenge after lightweight retries.
- Accepts a valid embedded product list even when unrelated page scripts contain challenge-related words.

### 0.2

- Improved examples, documentation, and reliability.

### 0.1

- Initial version with configurable inputs and structured results.
