## Changelog

### 2026-10-30

- Fixed: a post sometimes came back with no comments, a run failed a post part
  way through its comments, or a reply thread stopped early, because Facebook
  briefly answered as if the post were gone. Such an answer is now asked again,
  and a post is treated as deleted only when Facebook says so four times in a
  row. On a 640-comment test post, a run now returns all 611 comments and
  replies Facebook shows, where it returned 588 before.

### 2026-10-21

- Max comments per post now starts at 10.

### 2026-10-20

- New option, **Only new comments**: a scheduled run, or a re-run of the same task, returns only the comments it has not returned before. Skipped comments are neither saved nor charged; each new comment is charged as usual.
- You can now start a run from the results of the Facebook Posts Scraper: give its dataset id (or paste its rows) and every row's link is read, instead of pasting post links by hand. Rows with no link, or with no comments, are skipped and counted in the status. The form's example links in **Post links** are left out when a dataset is given.
- A run that gets close to its time limit now stops in time to save, and charge, every comment it already got. Its status says the time limit stopped it, and how to raise it.
- Default runs now get 2 hours 50 minutes before they time out, so a run with the default settings is no longer cut short.
- A run started with no input now runs the sample: up to 100 comments each from a NASA post and a reel, charged as usual.
- The dataset opens on a short Overview table of the main fields. Every field is one click away under All fields.
- Every input field now says what it accepts, its limit and default, and gives an example.
- Runs use 1 GB of memory by default and at most 2 GB.
- Lower prices on Apify's paid plans: $0.23, $0.20 and $0.17 per 1,000 comments on Bronze, Silver and Gold.

### 2026-10-17

- First release: the comments of public Facebook posts, reels and videos, newest first or in the order you choose, back to a date or period you choose, with replies and the replies to those threaded under them if you ask. Each row comes with the text, time, reactions by type, reply count, mentions, attachments such as GIFs, and the commenter's id, name, profile link and picture, plus the post's own text, counts, photos and videos.
- $0.25 per 1,000 comments; a reply counts as a comment.
