## Changelog

### 2026-09-01

- Added clickable `authorProfileUrl` and `commentUrl` fields to every comment and reply when the required TikTok identifiers are available.
- Improved reliability by activating the browser-session fallback when TikTok's direct API unexpectedly returns an empty first page.

### 2026-08-03

- Made comment and reply extraction substantially faster by using TikTok's public comment endpoints directly, with automatic browser fallback for compatibility.
- Added a schema-safe `commentId` field while retaining the existing `id` field as a backward-compatible alias.

### 2026-06-26

- Prevented duplicate comments and duplicate pay-per-event charges after retries with partial output.
- Reduced timeout waste on blocked TikTok comment API calls and added support for direct numeric video IDs.

### 2026-05-24

- Updated the example video input so sample runs return comments again.
