## Changelog

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

### \[1.0.0] - 2026-07-14

#### 🎉 Kakaku.com Product Scraper - Launch!

- **No-Code Category Scraping** - Scrape kakaku.com (価格.com) by pasting category slugs like `kaden/lcd-tv` (TVs), `pc/note-pc` (laptops) or `camera/mirrorless-camera`, or an `itemlist.aspx` URL — no account, no API key, no code needed.
- **Full Per-Shop Price List** - Because Kakaku is a price-comparison site, every product returns the complete seller list — each shop's price, shipping, payment methods and comment — plus the lowest and highest price across all shops.
- **Two Scrape Modes** - Fast **Overview** for ranked category sweeps (~40 products per page) and **Detail** for the full per-shop price list, complete specification table and category breadcrumbs — all in one clean dataset.
- **21 Structured Fields** - Every product returns lowest price (JPY), shop count, popularity rank, rating, review count, release date, maker, images and the full seller price list as export-ready 価格.com data.
- **Native Kakaku Filters** - Sort by popularity, price, rating, newest or most reviewed, set a JPY price band and sweep any category — the exact controls real shoppers use on 価格.com.
- **Clean JSON / CSV / Excel Export** - One category in, one tidy dataset out — ready for repricing sheets, price-intelligence dashboards and product feeds.
