## Changelog

### 2026-08-17

- **Much more complete comment collection on posts with large comment counts.** Some Reels
  were stopping well short of their real comment count; extraction is now substantially more
  thorough and closely tracks what's actually available.
- **Fixed comment timestamps.** `created_at` now displays as the real posting date instead of
  a date near January 1970; the raw value is still available under `created_at_unix`.
- **Switched to Pay-Per-Event pricing.** You're charged only for comments actually delivered
  to your dataset — never for a failed URL, a duplicate, or anything not delivered.
- **Resilient to interruption.** A run that's interrupted partway through (e.g. moved to
  different infrastructure mid-run) now resumes from where it left off instead of starting
  over — no duplicate results, no duplicate charges.
- Broadened accepted URL formats — `/p/`, `/reel/`, and `/reels/` links all work, since
  Instagram serves the same Reel under more than one URL shape.

### Initial release

- Extract top-level comments (author, text, likes, timestamp) from public Instagram Reels.
- No Instagram login required.
- Supports multiple Reel URLs in a single run, with a configurable per-URL comment limit.
