## Changelog

### 1.0 (2026-10-02)

- First version.
- New US liquor licences from five official open datasets in one schema: New York (State Liquor Authority active licences), Texas (TABC), Colorado (recently approved licences), Missouri (new licences) and Chicago (business licences with liquor classes, new licences only).
- Input: states, "issued since" (absolute or relative date, default 30 days), categories (on-premises, off-premises, manufacturer, wholesaler, other), city, county and ZIP filters, active only, maximum licences (default 100, at most 5,000). Results are newest first and spread evenly over the chosen states.
- Output: state, licence ID, original licence type and normalised category, legal name, DBA, premises address, city, county, ZIP, original issue date, status, expiration date and a link to the source dataset. No owner, applicant or contact data; individuals' records (Colorado "Associated Person") and sole proprietors' names are left out.
- Polite Socrata client: spaced requests, retries on 429 and 5xx, optional app token from the environment variable `SOCRATA_APP_TOKEN`.
- Pay per event: `license-returned` at $0.002. Error rows, "no results" rows and info rows are free.
