## Changelog

User-facing changes. Dates are UTC.

#### 2026-10-04

- AI agents: common field names (`url`, `urls`, `startUrls`, `query`, `keywords`...) are accepted, and an empty input runs a small sample from the input form instead of failing.

#### 2026-10-02

- New **Platform** filter: only ads shown on Google Search, YouTube, Google Play, Google Maps or Google Shopping. Each ad records the platform filter used (`platform`).
- When Google rate-limits the default proxy IPs, the Actor switches to residential proxies by itself instead of returning no ads.

#### 2026-10-01

- Fixed: in some accounts the "Only new ads" option could stop the run; it now never fails the run and keeps what earlier runs remembered.

#### 2026-09-26

- "Only new ads" remembers only the ads actually returned, so ads cut by `maxAdsPerSearch` appear in the next run.
- Advertiser names are matched against the top candidates in the selected region, so the right company is found.
- First public version.
