## Changelog

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

### \[0.2.0] - 2026-08-19

#### Added

- 🔍 Added a company name search filter so you can pull only exhibitors matching a keyword instead of the whole directory.
- 🌍 Added a country filter to narrow results to exhibitors from a single country.
- 🏷️ Added a product group / sector keyword filter so you can target a specific category of exhibitor.

### \[0.1.6] - 2026-07-29

#### Fixed

- ✅ Changed the prefilled run to a five-exhibitor, 25-request sample so Apify's automated quality test completes comfortably inside its five-minute limit.
- 🧪 Replaced the unrelated example.com test with a deterministic local exhibitor-directory fixture that verifies genuine record extraction and the item cap.

### \[0.1.0] - 2026-07-03

#### Added

- ✨ Initial release: exhibitor directory crawler for Koelnmesse trade fairs (Eisenwarenmesse and other child-fair domains sharing the same platform).
- ➕ Extracts company name, address, country, phone, email, website, hall and stand number, product groups, and brands for every exhibitor.
- 🏢 Automatically follows exhibitor list pagination and every individual exhibitor profile page, so a single run covers the entire fair directory.
- 🏷️ Added a dedicated "Brands & Categories" data view and a "Contact Details" data view alongside the main overview table.

#### Changed

- 🧹 Cleaned up output records by omitting any field that isn't genuinely available for a given exhibitor, so the dataset never contains placeholder or fallback values.
