## Changelog

### 2026-09-05

*Reliability*

- Added a public crawler-hint fallback so related recommendations remain available when Threads shows its transient error shell to anonymous browser sessions.
- Hardened that fallback with crawler-first requests, bounded alternate public permalink and crawler-identity routes, and one residential crawler request when Threads withholds hints from cloud data-center sessions.

### 2026-08-01

*Reliability*

- Replaced the expired default recommendation seed with a currently verified public post so prefilled runs produce useful results within the automated-test window.

### 2026-07-23

*Features*

- Initial release for extracting the separately rendered **Related threads** recommendations from public Threads post URLs.
- Returns source-to-related edges with post links, author usernames, timestamps, text, outbound domains, and visible engagement counts.
- Supports deduplicated, bounded recommendation discovery with configurable depth and result limits.

*Reliability*

- Uses anonymous browser sessions with bounded retries for transient Threads rendering failures and optional Apify Proxy support.
