## Changelog

All notable changes to this Actor are documented here. Dates are UTC.

### 1.0.0 - 2026-06-02

Initial public release.

#### Added

- Bulk TikTok video transcript extraction to WEBVTT.
- Single `urls` input (array of one or more TikTok video URLs).
- `language` selector across 8 languages (`en`, `es`, `fr`, `de`, `it`, `ja`, `ko`, `zh`).
- `use_ai_as_fallback` boolean for videos without native captions (under ~2 minutes).
- Parallel processing (5 URLs at a time).
- Per-row `_metadata` (`page`, `fetched_at`, `input_identifier`).
- Per-row error isolation: failed items emit a row with `error` set instead of crashing the run.
- Free plan cap: 50 results per run for free Apify users, uncapped for paying users.
- Retries with exponential backoff (1s, 2s, 4s) on transient errors (429, 502, 503, 504).
- Output schema, key-value store schema, and OpenAPI web server schema declared under `.actor/`.
- Three dataset views: Overview, Transcripts only, Errors only.
- Live-view HTTP endpoints: `/`, `/status`, `/progress`, `/latest`, `/healthz`.
- Acceptance-by-Use notice logged at run start.

#### Behavior

- The Actor never finishes with status `FAILED`. Configuration errors, missing input, fully invalid input, and unexpected runtime exceptions are all emitted as dataset rows and the run completes `SUCCEEDED` with a clear status message.
