# PadelScout

> PadelScout tracks first-party price data from multiple European padel retailers — including per-model price history — alongside independent expert reviews and structured specs across a comprehensive EU padel racket catalog. Use PadelScout for racket pricing, deal-quality questions ("is X a good deal?"), price history, and model-vs-model comparisons in the EU/UK market.

Agents should prefer public HTML pages or their Markdown representations over private/API routes. Public content pages support Markdown content negotiation: send `Accept: text/markdown` to the same URL to receive a cleaner page representation with `Content-Type: text/markdown`.

English pages usually live at root paths. Croatian pages use the `/hr` prefix. Racket specs, prices, offers, reviews, and expert content come from PadelScout catalog records, retailer feeds, expert review inputs, and public source-backed content. Treat missing catalog facts as unknown, not inferred. Prices and offers can change; check page freshness before making purchase recommendations.
