## Changelog

### 0.0.6 — 2026-10-30

- Free plan: the 15 runs per calendar month are now counted exactly when several runs start at once; if the count cannot be read, the free run stops before any work and charges nothing (message `free_slots_unavailable_v1`) — please start it again.
- Free plan: while an unusually large number of newly created free accounts run this Actor at once, a free run from a new account may be reduced for a short while: it looks for 1 creator with one round of AI checks and without the bio-link lookup, and says so in USER_MESSAGE (`free_new_account_reduced_v1`). Paid plans and accounts that started earlier are not affected.
- Faster finish: the run no longer waits for internal bookkeeping at the end.

### 0.0.5 — 2026-10-29

- New option **Find email or phone behind the bio link** (off by default, no extra charge): for a creator whose bio shows no email, the Actor opens the bio link — a link-in-bio page such as Linktree, a WhatsApp link, or the creator's own website — and returns the email or phone published there in new columns linkEmail / linkPhone, with where each came from. An email or phone requirement (including "Must have an email in the bio") is then also met by a contact found there. At most 3 pages and about 10 seconds per creator.
- New option **Skip creators already delivered to you** (off by default): leaves out creators this Actor already delivered to your account in a chosen period, before they are checked or charged. From this version every run records the creators it delivered in a key-value store `tt-delivered-…` in your Storage.

### 0.0.4 — 2026-10-28

- Maintenance rebuild. Nothing changed in how the actor works or what it charges.

### 0.0.3 — 2026-10-27

- Run statistics now record how many matching creators each run charged; on the platform this count read 0.

### 0.0.2 — 2026-10-27

- Price: $0.05 per matching creator on every plan. README shows the price and what 5, 20 and 100 creators cost.
- Country is the region TikTok records for the creator's recent videos, or a place the creator states themselves; the README, the Country field and the output field now say the video region can differ from where a creator lives.
- Run Summary no longer lists AI model names or internal costs.
- Store categories: Social media, Lead generation.

### 0.0.1 — 2026-10-27

- First build (hub BL-535): plain-English brief → plan → TikTok name and video-caption searches → free code filters → AI check of every requirement with exact quotes → second review → charge per matching creator. Possible matches delivered free.
- The checking core of Instagram Influencer Search: exact-quote re-check of every requirement, second review, possible matches, early stop on hopeless searches, new searches planned mid-run.
- Free plan: 5 AI checks per run (15 while none matches), 15 runs per calendar month. Empty input runs a sample capped at 3 creators.
- A durable record of every charged match: a run the platform migrates or restarts continues where it stopped and never charges or delivers the same creator twice.
