## Changelog

### 2026-10-29

- Free plan: prices cut to 1.1× Starter (were 1.8×).
- Empty input runs a small sample instead of failing — handy for AI agents and quick tests.
- Date filter with a calendar; input fields grouped into sections.
- Limits section on this page: speed and what Instagram doesn't show.
- Chain Actors: where the input is usernames or links, take it from the dataset of an earlier run.
- Output tab: every field of a row described, with a real example; columns with human names; free rows say why nothing came back.
- Works with the input of Apify's official Instagram Actors (resultsLimit, username, onlyPostsNewerThan…).
- A big target that runs out of one account's daily requests is finished by another account, without duplicates or double charges.
- More table views next to Overview (Engagement, Media files, Contacts, Links & mentions…).
- Run summary and input shown as their own records in the run's Storage tab.
- Chain Actors: pick the dataset of an earlier run from a list instead of pasting its ID.
- New fields: audioUrl, engagementRate (%), sharedToFacebook.
