## Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

### \[0.2.1] - 2026-10-11

#### Added

- 💰 Pay per result pricing: one price per product row saved to your dataset, with lower prices on higher Apify plans. Runs that return nothing cost nothing.
- 🛑 Runs now stop cleanly when your maximum charge per run is reached, report it in the run status, and keep your saved history unchanged so the next run still compares against the last complete ranking.
- 📊 The run summary now shows how much data a run downloaded.

#### Changed

- 🏷️ New Store title and description that describe the full tracker: bestseller movers, newcomers, dropped products, price changes and orders gained.

### \[0.2] - 2026-10-11

#### Added

- 📂 Track several categories in one run, each with its own ranking and its own history.
- 🏆 Choose how products are ranked: most orders, best match, lowest or highest price, highest rating, or newest listings.
- 📈 Scheduled runs now show previous rank, rank change, new entrants, products that dropped out, days in the top list and best rank held.
- 💲 See price changes and orders gained since the last run, with orders per day.
- 🔎 New filters: price range, minimum rating, minimum orders, AliExpress Choice, ships from, latest delivery and recently listed products.
- 📦 Richer rows: exact order counts, discount, ship-from country, delivery estimate, listing date, category, badges and extra images.
- 🚫 Sponsored placements are now marked and kept out of the rankings, with an option to include them.
- 🧾 A run summary with the biggest climbers, fallers, order gainers and price drops in every category.
- ⏩ Option to return only what changed, so scheduled runs stay small.

#### Changed

- 🎯 Rankings now go deeper than one page, up to 600 products per category.
- 🛡️ Runs fail clearly instead of returning wrong data when AliExpress does not show the real category.
- 🗂️ Dataset views for rankings, movers, new and dropped products, price changes and demand.

### \[0.1] - 2026-10-11

#### Added

- 🎉 First release: ranks the first page of one AliExpress category with price, rating and orders.
