## Changelog

This changelog highlights releases that materially changed Quora Scraper for users. Dates use UTC; small internal maintenance is intentionally omitted.

### 2026-09-18

*Reliability*

- Direct question URLs now have a credential-free metadata path that returns live titles, descriptions, and answer counts, giving the prefilled workflow useful output without storing session credentials.
- Search, answer, topic, space, and profile workflows still require valid session cookies; malformed and placeholder cookies continue to fail before browser or proxy startup.

### 2026-09-10

*Reliability*

- Missing, malformed, empty, and placeholder session cookies now fail fast with actionable diagnostics before proxy/browser startup and before the run-start charge.
- Input guidance and examples now consistently explain the required authenticated workflow.
- Dataset schemas now describe every output field and include a dedicated diagnostics view.

### 2026-05-22
