Faster, cheaper default runs.
- The default source set is now auto-data.net + carperformancedata.com, the fast and reliable core. ultimatespecs.com and zeperfs.com are opt-in via a new Extra sources field (or the API
sources option): ultimatespecs.com is slower and nests performance variants under their base model.
- The default input example is now a single model (
Audi RS3) with a low Max items, so a first run finishes in seconds for a few cents instead of walking a whole brand. Use the Brand mode and raise Max items for larger pulls.
- Consolidated rows are written to the dataset incrementally as they are produced, so results appear during the run and a long run is not lost if it is stopped early.
Input UX and matching improvements.
- Reworked the input around an Input mode menu: choose Brand (pick a make from a dropdown to scrape all its models) or Model names list (list specific models such as "Audi TT"). Choosing from menus instead of typing free text prevents typos.
- Improved cross-source matching so carperformancedata figures consolidate onto more variants.
Initial release (v0.1.0).
- Consolidates car technical specifications and performance figures from four reference sources: auto-data.net (backbone catalog), ultimatespecs.com, carperformancedata.com and zeperfs.com.
- Resolves a brand or a list of models into all engine variants, then matches records across sources by fingerprint (make, model, displacement, power, production years) into one consolidated row per variant.
- Per-field source traceability: each value carries its source and alternative values, with a
hasConflict flag and the maximum deviation when sources disagree beyond a built-in tolerance.
- Input filters: brand or model list, year range, exclude models, per-source toggles, and a
maxItems safety cap.
- Pay-per-event billing: one charge per car data record emitted; error rows are returned for visibility and never charged.
