This project has been superseded by SEO Audit Console.
Better Search Console pulled your Google Search Console data into a local SQLite database so you could ask it real questions. That idea was right, and it is now the Search Console half of a bigger tool.
SEO Audit Console does everything this did - the API sync, the local database, the pre-built queries, the dashboards - and then joins it to a first-party crawl of your site and on-demand DataForSEO market data. The queries you came here for still exist. They just have more to work with.
Your crawl is intent. Search Console is reality. The money is where they diverge.

The npm package still installs. @houtini/better-search-console is deprecated, not unpublished. Nothing you have running will break.
This repository is archived. The code stays readable and every existing link keeps working, but there are no further releases, and issues and pull requests are closed.
Your data is unaffected. The SQLite databases this wrote are yours and stay where they are. SEO Audit Console builds its own.
There is no automated migration. SEO Audit Console syncs GSC itself, so point it at the same property and let it pull the history:
sync_gsc for https://example.com/It will fetch the window you ask for and build its own database, joined on a normalised URL key so the crawl and Search Console line up.
