## Changelog

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

### \[1.3] - 2026-09-23

#### Changed

- 💵 Introduced separate pricing for phone-number lookups, reflecting the extra work involved in verifying and returning a real phone number versus a basic profile match.

### \[1.2] - 2026-09-23

#### Fixed

- 📞 Fixed TruePeopleSearch's phone-number lookup, which was silently returning empty for every result due to a parsing bug. It now reliably reads the real phone numbers the site publishes.
- 🎯 Substantially improved how often TruePeopleSearch searches succeed on the first try, cutting down on empty runs.

### \[1.1] - 2026-09-22

#### Improved

- ⚡ Faster, more efficient runs by keeping one browsing session open per site instead of starting a fresh one for every page.
- 🖼️ Cut wasted bandwidth by skipping images, fonts, and styling that the scraper never needed in the first place.
- 📉 Capped how hard the optional phone-number lookup retries on TruePeopleSearch, so a single hard-to-reach result can no longer balloon a run's cost.

#### Fixed

- 🎯 Fixed a reliability regression that was causing TruePeopleSearch searches to come back empty far more often than they should. Searches now wait long enough for the site to finish loading before giving up, and give up faster on the rare case that truly can't be reached, so more of your searches return real results for less cost.

### \[1.0] - 2026-09-03

#### Added

- 🚀 Initial release of People Search Scraper.
- ✨ Search both FastPeopleSearch and TruePeopleSearch by name in a single run.
- ➕ Optional phone number lookup for each result.
- 🔎 Filter by city and state to narrow results to a specific person.
- ⚙️ Incremental monitor mode that only returns records that are new or changed since your last run.
- 🛡️ Anti-blocking resilience tuned per source, so runs keep succeeding without any third-party API key.
- 🧹 Clean, structured JSON output with no placeholder or fabricated fields.
