## Changelog

### 0.2.2 — 2026-10-18 · same shared core as the comments Actor's 0.3.0

- The shared reading layer picked up what the comments Actor needed to walk a thread's own "more comments"
  loaders: the reader can now send a loader's POST with its cursor, and a comment list parsed out of such a
  fragment keeps the right parent. This Actor does not read comment threads, and the two functions it does use
  behave exactly as before, so its rows, its fields and its charges are unchanged. Published to keep every
  Actor in the family on one core.

### 0.2.1 — 2026-10-17 · the address a post page answers for

- Measured: `/r/<subreddit>/comments/<id>/` — the short address, without the title's slug — answers with a page
  that holds **no post at all**, while `/comments/<id>/` (Reddit redirects it to the full permalink) and the full
  permalink itself answer in full. The Actor now asks for the line you gave when it carries the slug, and for
  `/comments/<id>/` otherwise; the short form is never used.
- Without this, every line came back as "Reddit did not show this post to this run" — free and retryable, but
  empty. Caught on the platform before release (`_QA-2026-10-17.md`).

### 0.2.0 — 2026-10-17 · Reddit closed the JSON API: every post is read from its own page

**Why:** on 16 October 2026 Reddit stopped answering its JSON API for a visitor who is not signed in — the guest
token this Actor used gets HTTP 403 from `oauth.reddit.com` and from the `.json` paths, on residential addresses
and on a clean home address alike. The Actor was in maintenance from 16 to 17 October.

**What stayed the same:** every field name, the dataset shape, the `post-details` event and its price, the input
forms (address, `t3_` name, bare id), the free status rows and the Standby API.

**What changed, measured 2026-10-17:**

- `/api/info` answered a hundred posts in one request; a post page answers for one post (~0.5 MB), six at a time.
  A 10,000-line run is therefore much slower than it was — the rows are the same.
- **Always `null` now:** `editedAt`, `spoiler`, `locked`, `archived`, `originalContent`, `removedBy`,
  `distinguished`, `crosspostOf`, `crosspostCount`, `thumbnailUrl`, `authorPremium`, a poll's options and votes.
  `nsfw` and `stickied` arrive on media posts only.
- **`includeAuthorInfo` is off by default:** the karma and the cake day are now read from each author's profile
  page (one read per author, cached for the run). With it off a row still carries the author and the avatar.
- **`includeSubredditInfo` is free:** the post's own page carries the subreddit's header (subscriber count,
  display name, description). Its age, type and language are not on that page and stay `null`.
- A page that comes back **without the post on it** (Reddit turning an address away) is reported as "not shown to
  this run", retryable, charged nothing — never as "this post was deleted".

### 0.1.1 — 2026-10-12

- README rewritten to the foXLabs store standard: AI-agent & Standby usage, quick-start, integration (JS/Python), use cases, FAQ, troubleshooting and support sections. No change to the Actor's code, fields, events or pricing.

### 0.1.0 — 2026-10-10

- First release. Post records by address (subreddit, user-profile, old.reddit and redd.it forms), `t3_` name or id, read with Reddit's "info by id" 100 posts a request as a visitor who is not signed in (guest token through Apify Proxy residential addresses); each batch followed by its authors' records (100 a request) and, on request, its subreddits' records (one per distinct subreddit).
- Every row carries the family's full post fields: texts, numbers, exact and edit times, flags, removed or deleted state, kind, media, polls, crosspost origin, score and comments per hour, `input` and `position`.
- Free status rows for lines that bring nothing (not a post, a repeated line, a post Reddit has no record of, a batch Reddit did not answer); a run Reddit does not answer fails with its reason and charges nothing.
- Standby API (`GET /posts`) prepared; the Actor is published in batch mode.
- Apify Proxy grupsuz seçildiğinde (arayüzün Proxy bölümü bunu yazıyor) koşu datacenter adreslerine düşüyordu ve Reddit onları HTTP 403 ile reddettiği için koşu tek satır okumadan ölüyordu — platformda 2026-10-19'da 4/4 koşuda ölçüldü, mağazadaki %45-53 başarı oranının en olası sebebi. Aktör artık bu durumda residential grubu kendisi ekliyor ve bunu günlükte söylüyor; şemadaki proxy ön-dolgusu da residential geliyor. Residential açılamazsa hata mesajı sebebi söylüyor (plan bu grubu içermiyor).
