## Changelog

### 2026-10-02

- New `checkExternalLinks` to check only your own site's links or external links too.
- Real sitemap support: `discoverSitemaps` finds sitemaps (robots.txt, sitemap index, .xml.gz) of your start URLs, up to `maxSitemaps` files.
- New `retries`: failing links are retried, and sites that block bots are reported as blocked instead of broken.
- API runs without start URLs no longer check the example site; it is now only a prefill in the input form.

### 2026-10-01

- The monitor input is now called monitorName (monitorKey still works for existing tasks and schedules).
- Subscriber discounts on paid Apify plans: Bronze −10%, Silver −15%, Gold and higher −20% per result.
- Simpler pricing: Apify platform usage is now included in the per-result price, so you only pay per result plus a small start fee.
- Prefilled example input, so the first run works with one click.
- New Output tab with a results table and a JSON link for APIs and AI agents.
- README section on using the Actor from AI agents (Apify MCP server) and the REST API.
- Safer memory limits to keep runs fast and costs predictable.
- At the end of a run, the status message now links to the reviews and issues pages, so you can rate the Actor (1–5 ★) or suggest improvements.
