## Changelog

### 2026-10-16

- Long reviews are no longer lost. Capterra and Software Advice hoist any review text of about a thousand characters or more into a separate chunk of the page and leave a pointer behind, and that pointer was being delivered as the review: about 8% of Capterra rows arrived with `pros` or `comments` set to `$62` instead of the words. Those rows now carry the full text, which is also the longest and most detailed part of the sample.

### 2026-10-14

- GetApp: runs return reviews again. GetApp has stopped publishing full reviews (its review pages now redirect to the product page), so the Actor returns the short quotes the product page shows — the pros or the cons of about six reviews, with the reviewer and the date — and says so in the product row's warnings. Full reviews are on Capterra and Software Advice under the same reviewId.
- Capterra runs are faster: the review pages a run needs are requested together instead of one after another, and a search by product name starts loading the matching product's pages while capterra.com's own search is still answering. The Slack example (30 reviews) now finishes in about 40–80 seconds instead of 70–200. Results and fields are unchanged.

### 2026-10-12

- A run stopped by your "Max cost per run" now says so in its status line and finishes right away; before, the status counted reviews the cap had held back ("Scraped 30" with 13 delivered).

### 2026-10-02

- Memory is now sized to your input: small runs use less, large runs get more.

### 2026-10-01

- When Capterra is picked together with Software Advice or GetApp, each review is delivered and charged once: Capterra is read last and stops as soon as its pages only repeat reviews already collected.

### 2026-09-30

- New "Only new rows" option (`onlyNewRowsStore`): name a memory, schedule the Actor, and later runs write and charge only reviews you have not received before.

### 2026-09-27

- Capterra pages load in parallel with backup requests, so Capterra runs are faster and rarely come back empty.
- Runs stop cleanly at your maximum cost instead of being aborted; nothing beyond your limit is written or charged.

### 2026-09-24

- TrustRadius retries through a proxy when a direct request is refused, instead of losing the whole site.
- The example input now uses Capterra.
- The max reviews field now explains that reviews come in the site's order; add 'Published on or after' to get only recent ones.

### 2026-09-19

- A product that cannot be found now returns a clearer message suggesting the product's own name or its review URL.

### 2026-09-05

- Initial release: B2B software reviews from Capterra, Software Advice, GetApp and TrustRadius in one set of fields, with pros and cons, sub-ratings, reviewer role, industry and company size, vendor replies and publication dates.
