## Changelog

### 1.0.1 (2026-10-13)

- Renamed to **Google Hotels Scraper: OTA Prices & Rate Parity** (`google-hotels-scraper`).
- Free during the launch period: no per-result fee; users only pay their own Apify platform usage.

### 1.0.0 (2026-10-13)

First release.

- One row per hotel × check-in date with every channel's offer (`offers[]`), the official site flag and a rate-parity summary (`pricingSummary`).
- Hotels by Google Hotels URL, Google Maps URL or Google ID (CID), and/or discovered with search terms (up to 200 per search; vacation rentals skipped).
- 1–90 consecutive check-in dates per run, 1–30 nights, adults and children's ages; absolute or relative first check-in (`"14 days"`).
- Any Google country edition, currency and language; prices always include taxes; no currency conversion.
- Statuses `ok`, `no_results`, `failed` and `invalid_input`; only `ok` rows are billable (`chargedResults: 1`, `hotel-date-result` event once pricing is enabled); maximum cost per run respected.
- No browser: Google Travel data endpoints over HTTP with residential proxies, per-session pacing, block detection, retries with backoff and a circuit breaker.
- Dataset views **Summary** and **Offers**; `RUN_STATS` record with requests, blocks, sessions, KB and per-job timings.
- Benchmark on the platform: 183 queries in 7 countries, 100 % success, 0 % blocked, default run in 37 s.
