## Changelog

### 2026-09-23 (missing profiles, contact fields)

- A username with no public profile right now (misspelled, renamed, removed or never used) returns a `not_found` row quickly and is not charged. Before, such a run could end as failed after long retries.
- A profile that exists is never reported as `not_found`.
- README and output field descriptions now say plainly that the contact-button email and phone, the Facebook page and the Threads profile are normally null without login, and that emails and phones come from the biography.

### 2026-09-21 (first release)

- Public Instagram profiles by username, numeric ID or profile URL, without login.
- The 12 most recent posts with likes, comments, timestamps and media URLs.
- Optional recent comments and media details for up to 12 posts.
- Related accounts Instagram suggests next to the profile.
- Diagnostic rows for inputs that could not be scraped, with the reason, not charged.
- Output field names and types match the official Instagram Profile Scraper.
- Optional About account add-on with country, join month and former username count, on paid plans.
