## Changelog

### 1.0 — 2026-09-20

Initial release.

- Channels and videos in one mixed list, each entry routed automatically
- Channel records carry subscriber count, lifetime view total, video count, creation date, country, banner and external links
- Real pagination through a channel's video history, 30 per page, as deep as requested
- Full video transcripts as plain text with the caption language, included in the video price rather than sold as an add-on
- Video records carry views, likes, comments, length, category, language, keywords, hashtags and age restriction
- Comments with author, likes, reply count, and pinned and creator flags; the first 20 arrive with the video at no extra charge
- Separate Videos and Shorts feeds per channel
- Title and description split apart, since the source returns them as a single blob
- Repeated videos and comments across paginated pages are dropped before they are charged
- Entries that are not a YouTube channel or video are rejected before any billable lookup, as are duplicates
- Requests time out at 90 seconds, matched to a source that answers in 8-20, and retry up to 4 times with capped backoff
- A 45-minute collection deadline delivers whatever has been gathered instead of returning nothing
- Up to 200 entries per run, 2,000 videos per channel and 2,000 comments per video
