Changelog

  • Added normalized Google News, Books, and Local search responses with article source and recency metadata, book results and descriptions, and structured local-result cards.
  • Expanded Google Maps results with service-area businesses that do not publish coordinates, Plus Codes, highlighted review excerpts, popular-times data, additional named hours, and broader descriptions, category identifiers, and imagery.
  • Added Amazon Search with normalized product, price, rating, promotion, delivery, filter, category, related-search, and pagination data. Requests can target supported Amazon marketplaces, languages, devices, pages, categories, sorts, refinements, and merchants, or return encoded source HTML.
  • Added the optional google_domain parameter to Google Search. Choose a search-capable Google domain, such as google.co.uk; omitted values continue to use google.com, independently of country, language, and location controls.
  • Expanded Google Search controls with coordinate radius targeting, tablet requests, native tbm and udm search tabs, and broader tbs advanced filters for sorting and search-tab-specific filtering.
  • Expanded Google Maps results with language-independent category IDs, international phone numbers, listing claim state, highlighted details, ordering and reservation links, plus hotel pricing, booking, class, check-in, check-out, and amenity details.
  • Added Google Maps search with coordinate and zoom targeting, 20-place offset pagination, and normalized place IDs, rankings, addresses, coordinates, categories, ratings, review counts, contact details, hours, imagery, and business attributes.
  • Added source_name to normalized Google and Bing results, using the site/source label displayed by the search engine and returning null when no label is available.
  • Stabilized normalized JSON response shapes: unavailable scalar and object values now return null, while evaluated empty collections return [], so result and SERP feature fields no longer appear conditionally.
  • Added safe and color_scheme controls to Google and Bing, Bing's native sp hint, and Google's native nfpr, filter, lr, and cr parameters, including normalized response metadata, auditing, and Bing continuation-token validation.
  • Added the optional zero_trace parameter to Google and Bing search requests. Zero-trace requests retain audit and billing metadata but do not archive source HTML or parsed JSON; request history exposes only the response status and whether credits were charged.
  • Added optional tbs time-range filtering to the Google and Bing search endpoints, including relative and custom ranges plus filtered Bing pagination. Requests that omit tbs continue without a time filter.
  • Improved SERP feature extraction across non-English result pages for more consistent localized data.
  • Request metadata is now retained for 90 days, with paired HTML and JSON artifacts available for 30 days.
  • Added authenticated dashboard and API access for searching past requests, inspecting request details, and downloading retained artifacts.
  • Launched this changelog so new PrismCrawl features and improvements are easy to follow.
