## Changelog

All dates are UTC. Build numbers are the Apify build that shipped the change.

### 2026-10-20 (0.1.18)

- New `aiChatbotVisitsByChatbot`: estimated visits each AI chatbot sent to the site in the latest month, for example `{"chatgpt": 7422431, "claude": 1544038, "gemini": 1134616}` (Similarweb's AI chatbot visit count multiplied by each chatbot's share).
- New `aiChatbotSharesHistory`: each chatbot's share of the AI chatbot referrals for every month Similarweb charts (usually the last 3), oldest first, as `[{month, shares}]`. The newest month equals `aiChatbotShares`.
- New `trafficSourceVisits`: estimated visits per channel (direct, organic and paid search, referrals, social, email, display, affiliates, AI chatbots), with the same keys as `trafficSources`.
- The **AI chatbots** and **Channels and audience** views show the new columns. Every existing column, the competitor watch memory and prices are unchanged.

### 2026-10-19 (0.1.17)

- New competitor watch: turn on `compareWithPrevious` and each row gains `previousMonth`, `visitsChange`, `visitsChangePct`, `globalRankChange`, `aiShareChange`, `chatbotShareChanges`, `changed` and `watchStatus`, against the last run of the same `watchName`. Optional `onlyChanged` returns and charges only rows that changed (a newer Similarweb month, or a move past `minVisitsChangePct` / `minAiShareChangePts`). New **Changes** dataset view. With the option off (the default), rows and prices are unchanged.

### 2026-10-19 (0.1.13)

- Fix: domains under second-level registries such as `uk.com`, `us.com`, `gb.net`, `eu.com`, `br.com` and `za.com` were cut to the registry, so `isr.uk.com` became `uk.com` and returned uk.com's traffic. Main domains now use both sections of the Public Suffix List: `isr.uk.com` stays `isr.uk.com`, and sites on platforms such as `github.io`, `readthedocs.io` or `githubusercontent.com` keep their own name. `www.github.io` and `www.uk.com` now read as `github.io` and `uk.com`. Ordinary domains (`www.example.co.uk`, `blog.example.com`, email addresses) are unchanged.

### 2026-10-18 (0.1.12)

- New `aiChatbotShares` column: each AI chatbot's share of the site's AI chatbot referrals, in percent (for example ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot), plus a new **AI chatbots** dataset view. All other columns are unchanged.

### 2026-10-18 (0.1.9)

- Main domains now use the full Public Suffix List, so `www.turkiye.gov.tr` stays `turkiye.gov.tr` instead of becoming `gov.tr`.
- Run summary cost check uses the run's real memory.

### 2026-10-17

- Store title and description rewritten around the phrases buyers search for.

### 2026-10-16 (0.1.7-0.1.8)

- Price cut: $0.70 per 1,000 domains with traffic, $0.35 per 1,000 without.
- `onlyNew` memory store opens safely and only when `onlyNew` is on.
- Never ends as FAILED on a site-side problem: the row ships with the reason, and the run summary records the outage.

### 2026-10-15 (0.1.5-0.1.6)

- Maintenance builds (shared request code updated); output unchanged. Store card now states the price per 1,000 domains.

### 2026-10-14 (0.1.1-0.1.4)

- First release: Similarweb public traffic estimates plus website, email, DNS, tech stack, SSL and registrar checks per domain, one row per domain.
