## Changelog

This changelog highlights releases that materially changed Pinterest Scraper for users. Dates use UTC; small internal refactors and routine maintenance are intentionally omitted.

### 2026-09-18

*Reliability*

- Shortened stalled upstream requests and removed nested same-route retries so fresh proxy recovery occurs before the run timeout.

### 2026-09-15

*Reliability*

- Added bounded fresh-session and proxy-identity recovery when Pinterest intermittently returns an empty response or an upstream proxy error.

### 2026-09-05

*Features*

- Added public Pinterest profile URLs as an input mode, including profile metadata and profile pin extraction.
- Added source provenance and automatic deduplication when searches, profiles, boards, or pin URLs overlap.

### 2026-07-28

*Reliability*

- Added a reliable default proxy route for cloud runs when Pinterest returns empty responses from datacenter IPs.
- Empty extraction results now fail clearly instead of reporting a misleading successful run.

*Features*

- Added public Store task examples so users can start common Pinterest scraping workflows faster.

### 2026-05-26

*Changes*

### 2026-05-22

*Reliability*

- Improved reliability for Pinterest search, board, and pin runs with hardened retry handling.

### 2026-03-18

*Features*
