## Changelog

### 1.9.46 — 2026-09-10 — failed lookups become free (per-record billing) + README corrected

- Input and output texts corrected: `maxConcurrency` says the Actor caps it at 20, and the output schema no longer carries another Actor's title.
- **You will pay only for delivered company records.** The Actor now charges a new `company-record` event for each delivered company, and rows that only report a failed lookup (`error`) are pushed without a charge (`src/billing.js`; the record push in `src/main.js` now goes through `pushRecord`, the two error-row pushes stay plain).
- **Timing:** Apify applies pricing changes after a 14-day notice. From **25 September 2026** the pricing switches from the per-dataset-item event to `company-record` at the same price ($0.004). Until then billing is exactly as before; the code detects the switch by itself.
- No output field changed.
- **README corrected.** The 2026-09-07 README documented inputs this Actor does not have (`queries`, `maxResultsPerQuery`, `includeRaw`) with a placeholder (`undefined`) example, said it takes company names and supports registry-ID lookup (it takes Owler URLs or a sector preset), called `industry` a NACE code and `employees` a registered count, and promised status / legal form / formation date, "formation / status monitoring", "every row carries `query`", "no empty-promise columns" and "empty/failed lookups never billed". The new README describes the real inputs, all 42 output fields and billing, checked on local runs.
- **Correction to 1.9:** `ticker` and `revenueQuarterly` were not removed — both are still in the row (`revenueQuarterly` while the financial-history switch is on), and both came back empty for all three companies we tested. The older entries below are kept as written; the 1.0 entry's "by name or registry ID" was also wrong.

### 1.9 — 2026-09-07

- **Dropped empty-promise columns.** Removed `ticker, revenueQuarterly` — Owler company-intelligence profiles does not carry them, so they were shipped as always-null columns. Only fields this source actually fills are now emitted.
- **Enabled AI-agent payments (x402) + rebuilt the README to the full standard** (What-is / when, AI-agents + x402 agentic payments + MCP, Overview, Features, Use cases, Integration, FAQ, Troubleshooting, Support & contact).

### 1.0

- Initial release: data from Owler company-intelligence profiles by name or registry ID.
