## Changelog

### 1.1 (2026-08-21) — Use your own Reddit app credentials to get full results

- Reddit now requires sign-in for the public pages this actor reads, so runs without credentials return little or nothing
- Add your own Reddit app client ID and secret in the input and the actor reads through the official Reddit API on your own quota
- Create a free app at reddit.com/prefs/apps in about two minutes; the credentials are stored encrypted and never appear in logs or output
- Community subscriber counts are now returned as real figures instead of zero

### 1.1 (2026-08-21) — Fixed runs returning no results when Reddit blocked the request

- Blocked requests were not being retried, so a run could finish with no posts even though the data was reachable on a second attempt
- Requests are now retried against a fresh session, and the page is given time to load before it is read
- A run that is fully blocked and returns nothing now fails instead of reporting success with an empty result

### 1.1 (2026-06-20) — Restored data flow after Reddit blocked its JSON API

Reddit's edge now returns 403 on the public `.json` endpoints (server `snooserv`,
Fastly), which had silently dropped every mode to zero records. Switched the whole
extraction substrate to the old.reddit.com HTML pages, which serve 200 with no
login for listings, post + comment threads, user profiles, and search. Output
record shapes are unchanged. One degradation: community member counts are not
exposed on logged-out old.reddit, so `numberOfMembers` reports 0 in communities mode.

### 1.0 (2026-05-23) — Fix: rare hang when cross-run monitor memory is unavailable
