## Changelog

All notable changes to Auction.com Scraper will be documented in this file.

### \[2026-09-10] — Reliability fix

#### 🛠️ Fixes

- **A failed search no longer looks like an empty one** — when the data service can't complete a request, you now get a clear message saying so instead of a successful run with zero results.
- **Temporary refusals are ridden out** — short-lived rate limits and blocks are retried automatically instead of ending the run.
- **Default search location changed to Phoenix, AZ** — the previous default returned no results. Any city, county or ZIP still works, and leaving it empty sweeps nationwide.
