## Changelog

### 1.1.13 - 2026-06-25

- Improved reel and video metric accuracy so public reactions, likes, comments,
  and shares are matched to the requested Facebook content more reliably.

### 1.1.4 - 2026-06-24

- Updated Facebook Metrics Scraper with clearer dataset columns and examples,
  improved metric coverage for supported posts, reels, videos, photos, watch
  links, post permalinks, profiles, and pages, clearer availability statuses
  when public metrics are not available, and validation that rejects unsupported
  Facebook Stories URLs.

### 1.1.3 - 2026-06-22

- Added collaboration-aware public profile fields.
- Kept one dataset row per input URL while preserving existing author/profile
  metric fields.
- Separated confirmed public owners/collaborators from tagged profile context.

### 1.1.2 - 2026-06-22

- Accepted pasted Facebook and fb.watch URLs without `http://` or `https://`
  in both the form validator and runtime normalization.
- Made form URL validation tolerate extra spaces around pasted URLs while
  keeping detailed URL-kind validation in runtime.

### 1.1.1 - 2026-06-22

- Removed sample Facebook URLs from the visible form and runtime defaults so
  empty input fails clearly instead of scraping examples.
- Renamed URL mode labels to clarify mixed URLs, content-only URLs, and
  profile/page discovery.
- Reorganized form sections around URL choice, profile/page discovery,
  enrichment, and run options.

### 1.1.0 - 2026-06-22

- Added Store SEO metadata and category metadata for clearer Facebook posts,
  reels, videos, photos, profile/page metrics, and engagement-metrics search
  intent.
- Updated the public pricing event label to align with the broader Facebook
  metrics positioning.

### 1.0.0 - 2026-06-22

- Renamed the Actor to `Facebook Metrics Scraper` with the slug
  `facebook-metrics-scraper` while keeping the public output contract focused
  on Facebook content and profile/page metrics.

### 0.3.0 - 2026-06-22

- Renamed the public content-type field to `postType` and the run summary count
  field to `postTypeCounts` for clearer dataset output.

### 0.2.0 - 2026-06-22

- Corrected video metric semantics so `viewsCount` represents the public video
  view counter and `playsCount` represents the broader public play counter when
  both are available.
- Updated the run summary schema version to `2026-06-22` so downstream
  pipelines can distinguish corrected metric semantics from initial release
  outputs.
- Improved public title normalization for cleaner dataset rows.
- Clarified `metricPrecision` values in the README.
- Exposed Facebook ID fields in the default dataset table view.

### 0.1.0 - 2026-06-21

- Initial release of public Facebook content and profile/page metric
  collection.
- Added public metric collection for Facebook watch, reel, video, post, photo,
  permalink, and pfbid URLs.
- Added support for public views, plays, reactions, likes, comments, shares,
  metric status, metric precision, and metric source types.
- Added URL normalization for mobile, mbasic, shared, watch, reel, video, post,
  photo, permalink, and shortlink URL shapes.
- Added canonical URL handling so URL variants can be measured consistently.
- Added structured row statuses for unavailable, partial, invalid, and failed
  URLs.
- Added form-level validation for Facebook and fb.watch links.
- Added improved parsing for compact and locale-style public counts such as
  `31.557 views`.
- Added stronger reel/video metric recovery across common Facebook URL variants.
- Added improved static pfbid post metric extraction when public counts are
  available.
- Added profile/page discovery mode for finding public post, reel, and video
  URLs from profile/page inputs.
- Added optional author/profile audience enrichment with best-effort follower
  and page-like counts.
- Added Auto-detect mode with a single visible `startUrls` input. Legacy `urls`
  and `profileUrls` API inputs remain supported for API compatibility.
- Added public dataset schema, compact run summary, and Apify Store README.
