## Changelog

### v1.1 — 2026-09-20

- Switched restaurant, search, and review scraping from a full browser to plain HTTP requests through Apify's UNBLOCKER proxy -- faster and substantially cheaper compute per run
- The browser is now only used for the one-time location search step, and only when a direct URL guess doesn't resolve
- Restaurants are now scraped concurrently instead of one at a time
- Lowered default/prefill limits (5 restaurants, 5 reviews, 5 photos) for a faster, cheaper first run

### v1.0 — 2026-09-20

- Initial release
- Search restaurants by city/location or scrape specific restaurant and search-result URLs directly

- Extracts full menus with sections, dishes, descriptions, and prices
- Extracts ratings breakdown (food, service, ambience), TheFork and TripAdvisor scores, and language stats
