## Changelog

### 2026-09-17 – Reliability

- Added Instagram's Android client identity to bounded proxy rotation so public-profile requests recover from desktop-only HTTP 401 blocks more reliably.

### 0.1.0

- Added the initial Instagram Profile Posts Scraper input, output, and pricing contracts.
- Added three ready-to-run public workflow examples using stable public profiles and coherent proxy sessions.
- Isolated proxy sessions between runs so recurring multi-profile Tasks do not reuse a previously rate-limited identity.
- Enabled Apify Proxy by default so new and generated runs avoid Instagram's recurring direct-IP 401 blocks; explicit proxy opt-out remains supported.
- Rotated temporary rate limits, network failures, and challenge responses onto fresh coherent proxy identities with bounded retries.
- Reduced the prefilled test example to five posts from Instagram's public profile so automated checks stay useful while avoiding unnecessary multi-profile rate-limit exposure.
