## Changelog

### 0.1.2 — 2026-09-05

#### 🚀 Features

- Restored Pay-per-event charging in code: each company pushed uses `Actor.push_data(rec, charged_event_name="row_result")`. Event prices are configured in Apify Console (no local `pay_per_event.json`).

### 0.1.1 — 2026-09-05

#### 🛠 Fixes

- `maxCompanies` now defaults to `10` (was unlimited), so a first run without touching the input stays small and cheap. Increase it or turn on `scrapeAllCompanies` for bigger runs.

### 0.1.0 — 2026-09-05

#### 🚀 Initial release

- Scrape Y Combinator companies from one or more directory search URLs, or directly by company profile URL (bulk input, mix both in one list).
- Optional `Scrape All Companies` mode for the entire directory (5,500+ companies).
- Founders, open jobs, news/press mentions and Launch YC posts — each individually toggleable.
- Advanced filters: minimum/maximum team size, launched-after/before date range, sort by launch date.
- Smart 3-tier proxy fallback (Direct → Datacenter → Residential) with clear logging of every escalation.
- Results are saved to the dataset in real time, one company at a time, with five dedicated output views: Overview, Founders, Open Jobs, News and Launch Posts.
- A run summary (companies/founders/jobs/news/launches collected) is saved to the key-value store's `OUTPUT` record.
