## Changelog

### 0.1.5 (2026-08-29)

- Every run now ends with a status message that says what happened. It is built
  by a pure function from explicit counters, so a run can only say "no ads
  matched" after the Transparency Center actually served a search page the run
  read — a refused lookup or a refused search now reads as a refusal instead of
  as an advertiser with no ads, and "no verified advertiser under that name" is
  only said when Google answered the lookup.
- README: added the Pricing section this actor never had. $2.00 per 1,000 ad
  creatives, $3.00 per 1,000 advertiser profile rows, $2.00 per 1,000
  creative-detail lookups (charged only when the detail arrived), $0.001 per run,
  Bronze/Silver/Gold 10/20/30% off the per-ad price. Apify platform usage,
  including the datacenter proxy, is included.
- README: added an input table, which finally documents `adFormat` and
  `shownBefore` — including that `shownBefore` is inclusive for you while the
  Transparency Center's own bound is exclusive.
- README: one dated reliability sentence, pointing at each actor's own public
  30-day run stats rather than a table of numbers that would go stale.

### 0.1 (2026-08-11)

First release.

- Search by brand name, by Transparency Center advertiser ID, or by advertiser
  page URL. A brand name is resolved to the verified advertiser behind it, with
  the largest advertiser picked by default and an option to take all of them.
- Search by landing domain to find every advertiser buying ads that point at a
  site, including agencies and resellers.
- Filters for country (103 markets), ad format, Google surface and date range.
- Every ad carries the creative image, the rendered preview, first and last seen
  dates, the number of days it ran, and the advertiser's Google Ads customer,
  creative and ad group IDs.
- Optional detail mode adds every country the ad ran in with a last-seen date
  per country, plus the count of creative variations.
- One advertiser profile row per advertiser, with the verified legal name,
  country of registration and verification status.
