Changelog

0.1.10 — 2026-09-02

Added focused troubleshooting for request blocks, slow fallbacks, missing optional fields, and duplicate content IDs.
Added the Channel Content Scraper to the related-Actor navigation and separated support guidance from the FAQ.

0.1.9 — 2026-09-02

Tries one datacenter request for every video or Shorts input before switching to residential fallback.
Uses one bounded residential attempt with no internal retry when the datacenter request fails.
Skips HLS, DASH, and translated-subtitle discovery because the Actor extracts metadata only, reducing unnecessary proxy traffic.
Added the requestBlocked status and YOUTUBE_BOT_CHALLENGE error code instead of mislabeling proxy blocks as unavailable content.
Replaced yt-dlp cookie instructions with a concise user-facing error message.
Keeps explicit Shorts URLs classified as short when YouTube omits the media-type marker.
Clarified that the current event prices exclude separately billed platform usage.

0.1.8 — 2026-09-02

Clarified that the Actor returns comment counts rather than comment text.
Replaced the unreliable default standard-video example with a verified cloud sample.
Added exact pay-per-event pricing and charge examples to the README.
Added current standard-video and native-Short sample outputs and public Example links.

0.1.6 — 2026-09-01

Added a hard wall-clock limit to every YouTube extraction attempt.
Automatically terminates stalled extraction processes before switching to the fallback route.
Reduced duplicate internal retries and added a visible EXTRACTION_TIMEOUT lookup status.

0.1.5 — 2026-09-01

Routed explicit YouTube Shorts URLs directly through the reliable detail path instead of waiting for a repeatedly blocked datacenter attempt.

0.1.4 — 2026-09-01

Rotated proxy sessions between Actor runs while keeping one stable IP throughout each individual video extraction.

0.1.3 — 2026-09-01

Added a dedicated red-and-white Actor logo asset.
Synchronized Store description and prepared custom SEO metadata.
Added a real cloud Sample output for publication review.

0.1.0

Initial direct lookup for YouTube videos and Shorts.
