## Changelog

### 2026-10-20

- A run that nears its time limit now stops in time to save and charge every
  post it already got, and its status says the time limit stopped it.
- The default run timeout is now 7.5 hours, so a run with the default settings
  is not cut short.
- A run started with no input now runs a sample: up to 20 posts from NASA's
  profile, charged as usual.
- The dataset opens on a short Overview table of the main fields; every field is
  one click away under All fields.
- Each input field now says what it accepts, its limits and its cost, with an
  example.
- Lower prices on Apify's paid plans: $1.80 per 1,000 posts on Bronze, $1.60 on
  Silver and $1.40 on Gold and above.
- Runs use 1 GB of memory by default and at most 2 GB.

### 2026-10-17

- New fields on videos and carousel slides: the video's length, its audio link,
  the size of the image served, whether the audio is muted (and why) and whether
  a reel uses its original audio.
- Fixed: a post whose text held an invalid character code was dropped; it is now
  saved.
- Price set: $2 per 1,000 posts.

### 2026-10-16

- First release: the posts of public Instagram profiles, from profile links or
  usernames, newest first, with an optional "only posts newer than" date. Each
  post has its like count, comment count and exact date, the caption, hashtags,
  mentions, images and videos, tagged accounts, collaborators, place and first
  comments, with the profile's followers and bio on every row.
- A deleted post is skipped without failing the rest of its profile.
