## Changelog

All dates are UTC. Build numbers are the Apify build that shipped the change.

### 2026-10-18

- Store title, description and README rewritten: field table, real example row, cost table and stated limits. Input form gets a one-line description.

### 2026-10-17

- Store title and description rewritten around the phrases buyers search for.

### 2026-10-16 (0.1.15)

- Maintenance build; output unchanged.

### 2026-10-15 (0.1.11-0.1.14)

- Never ends as FAILED on a TikTok-side problem: rows already found are kept, the run ends with a plain status message and the outage is recorded.
- Tighter time-limit and memory guards, so a long list ends cleanly instead of timing out.
- `onlyNew` memory opens safely and only when `onlyNew` is on.
- Store card now states the price per 1,000 creator reports.

### 2026-10-14 (0.1.10)

- Store title, description and README opening rewritten; output unchanged.

### 2026-10-13 (0.1.3-0.1.9)

- Video lists load through residential proxies from the first try, because TikTok refuses them to datacenter IPs. Creators no longer lose 15 to 40 seconds on a failed first attempt.
- A refused or blocked video list now gets up to two retries, each as a fresh anonymous visitor on a new IP, before the row falls back to profile only. An empty list for a creator whose profile shows videos counts as refused, not "no public videos".
- Stops starting new creators near the run's time limit and says how many were not run (not charged). Repeated entries are reported in the status message.
- TikTok's script files no longer load through the residential proxy, which cut proxy use per creator.

### 2026-10-12 (0.1.1-0.1.2)

- First release: one row per TikTok creator with the public profile plus engagement rate, median views, posting cadence, top hashtags and brand-deal share from recent public videos. Not-found, private and blocked creators are free.
