## 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.
