## Changelog

All notable changes to Sports Betting Odds Scraper will be documented in this file.

### \[2026-08-16] — v1.0.4

#### 🚀 Enhancements & Features

- **Sportsbook / Bookmaker Filtering** — Select specific sportsbooks directly from the input (`fanduel`, `draftkings`, `betmgm`, `pinnacle`, `betfair_ex_uk`, `williamhill`, `skybet`, `sportsbet`, etc.) to get filtered lines for single or multiple preferred bookmakers.
- **Canonical SIÁN Ledger Report** — Upgraded `report.html` to the full responsive Ledger standard with hero KPIs, sample record inspection artifact, structured odds and scores tables, and collapsible API/MCP appendix folds for AI agents.
- **Dedicated Task Pages** — Published pre-configured high-volume task variations for FanDuel, DraftKings, BetMGM, Pinnacle Sharp lines, and Betfair Exchange.

### \[2026-08-14]

#### 🛡️ Fair-Use Limits On The Free Tier

- **Free-plan daily run allowance** — free plans get 30 runs per day on this Actor (10 of them unbilled), resetting at 00:00 UTC. Paid plans are unaffected: unlimited rows, unlimited runs.
- **Console-first free access** — on a free plan, start runs from the Apify Console. API and scheduled runs now need a paid Apify plan; every feature and every field stays identical either way.
- **Billing-aware delivery** — if the platform declines a charge, or a run reaches the "Max total charge" you set, the run now stops cleanly and tells you why instead of continuing silently.

#### 💎 Why

These limits keep the shared upstream feed fast and available for paying customers. Genuine evaluation is unaffected — 30 runs a day at 50 rows each is plenty to test any sport, market or region.
