## Changelog

### \[2026-09-12]

#### 🔑 API runs now need a paid Apify plan

- **The Console stays free** — running this Actor from the Apify Console is unchanged, and so is starting it from an AI agent over MCP. Free plans keep their daily allowance and their result limit exactly as before.
- **Starting a run through the Apify API now requires a paid plan** — free-plan API runs stop immediately with a message explaining why, before anything is fetched or billed. Nothing is charged for a run that stops this way.
- **Why** — scripted free-plan API traffic was consuming the capacity paying customers rely on. Keeping it out protects run speed and availability for everyone on a paid plan.
- **If this affects you** — add credits or a payment method in Apify Console → Billing, and your existing API calls work again with no change to your input.
