## Changelog: YouTube Transcript Scraper

### 0.1

- Very long videos add $0.0001 per hour beyond 3 hours; the status states the exact charge, start fee included; videos not read after an early stop get a 'not_read' row.
- Playlists longer than 100 videos are read to the end; rivals' input names (youtube_url, channel, urls, startUrls, searchKeywords) are accepted; numbers and objects in lists no longer stop a run.
- Videos without a transcript, and inputs that are not YouTube links, now get a status row (never charged); several links pasted into one entry are split.
- Price $0.90 per 1,000 videos ($0.60 on paid plans), was $2.50/$2.25; start fee $0.0001, was $0.04 per run.
- Plain-HTTP route: a single video now takes seconds and no browser is started. Default memory 256 MB.
- Each video carries the channel's @handle (channel_handle).
- First release: videos, channels, playlists and search; plain text, timestamped segments, AI chunks, chapters, language preference with fallback, only-new-videos mode, Slack or webhook digest, optional residential retry.
