## Changelog

### 2.0

#### Changes

- Ported to the monorepo as a direct-API scraper (was a browser-automation scraper in the legacy actor) — faster, no browser overhead.
- Switched from rental to pay-per-event pricing, with four independently charged events: `post-result`, `profile-result`, `comment-result`, `tag-result`.
- Profile start URLs now return the profile record only — ShareChat exposes no discoverable profile-posts feed, so a profile URL no longer also crawls that creator's posts.
- Dataset schema re-derived as a flat union of all four record types (`post`, `profile`, `comment`, `tag`), with per-type dataset views (`overview`, `posts`, `profiles`, `comments`, `tags`).
- High-quality residential proxies are included at no additional cost; no proxy configuration is required.
- Hardened run-status updates: a failed cosmetic progress message can never fail a run.

### 1.1

#### Bugs

- Fix `returnAuthors` input returning some profiles even when set to `false`.

#### Chore

- Adjusted minimum RAM to 512MB
