## Changelog

All notable, buyer-visible changes to this Actor.

### 2026-09-23

- **Free-plan cap lowered from 50 to 5 results per run.** Free Apify users now get up to 5 items per run (down from 50). Paying users are unaffected. Description, README and input-schema help text updated to match.

### 2026-08-06

- **Rewrite README product-facing top.** Restructured around buyer questions ("What do I paste in?", "What comes back?"), added an honest Limitations section, trimmed FAQ from 20 to 10 highest-value questions. Terms of Service untouched.
- **Sync `.actor/actor.json` with Apify Console.** Title, description, keywords, and categories in the repo now match what buyers see on the store page. Added AUTOMATION category and 4 new keywords (`facebook reels comments`, `no cookies scraper`, `per-reaction breakdown`, `feedback id`).

### 2026-07-29

- **`maxComments` and `maxRepliesPerComment` default to `0`.** `0` now means "all available" — pagination runs until upstream reports no more. Any positive value still caps as before. Free-plan 50-item cap unaffected.

### 2026-07-28

- **Remove `excludeAuthorGender` input.** The inferred `author.gender` field is now always stripped from output. Removes a sensitive-adjacent field unconditionally, no opt-in required.
- **Fix replies-stage HTTP 400.** The upstream replies endpoint requires both `feedback_id` and `expansion_token` from the parent comment — every reply fetch was failing before this. Added a regression test.
- **Surface upstream response body in error messages.** HTTP failures now include a sanitized snippet of the upstream body (API key + credit/quota/billing/plan/usage/account fields redacted).
- **Combine `postUrls` + `feedbackIds` into one input.** Paste URLs, feedback IDs, or a mix in the same field. The Actor auto-detects each entry — URL if it starts with `http(s)://`, else feedback ID.

### 2026-07-21

- **Additive Related-actors section** in the README (5 keyword-anchored cross-links inside the UnseenUser Facebook + cross-platform toolkit).
- **Additive Demo video section** in the README (embedded Apify scheduling and integrations walkthroughs).
- **Restored the output schema** — run page now shows a dataset view + run summary card.
- **10-task SEO audit + tightening** across the task portfolio (per-task titles, per-task SEO descriptions).
- **Additive SEO enhancements** to README's marketing zone (input examples, output shape, related actors, FAQ expansion).

### 2026-06

- **Initial 1.0 release.** Facebook post and reel comments with the full 10-type per-reaction breakdown (thankful, like, love, care, haha, wow, sad, anger, pride, confused), threaded replies on demand, error rows as first-class dataset entries with a `stage` discriminator, and three prebuilt dataset views (comments overview, per-reaction breakdown, errors).
