Engineering updates
What we've shipped, newest first. Most of it started as a request from a customer, so each note says what they needed and how to try it.
- A daily limit on a credit balance (6 November 2026): A credit balance can be paced: at most a set number of credits a day on each platform, on top of the balance itself.
- Shopee's product response, unmodified (5 November 2026): raw.get_pc is now Shopee's product response exactly as it arrived; stock and historical_sold move to the top of the record.
- Empty search pages are free (2 November 2026): A page that comes back with zero posts is no longer charged; credits.charged counts only pages with posts.
- Background search: async=true, progress and a signed webhook (1 November 2026): async=true answers 202 with a search_id; poll progress per keyword or get a signed webhook; reading is free.
- Validation that says what to fix (1 November 2026): Requests are checked before anything is fetched; every mistake gets a 400 that names the fix.
- Multi-term search: one query, a search per term (31 October 2026): An Instagram query with "or" is searched once per term and merged, with matched_terms on every post.
- Streaming progress, search history and export (31 October 2026): stream=true streams search progress as NDJSON; history and CSV/XLSX export endpoints.
- Instagram profile stats, in batches of 100 (31 October 2026): Instagram profiles by handle or link, up to 100 a run: counts, engagement rate, account type, bio links.
- A credit ledger you can reconcile (30 October 2026): One balance per workspace, and a ledger where every charge carries the request_id that made it.
- Temu product data for Mexico and Brazil (27 October 2026): Temu listings in Mexico and Brazil from a link or goods ID, with price, sales, shop stats and variations.
- One search endpoint, seven platforms, one post schema (26 October 2026): GET /api/v1/search now covers seven platforms and returns every post in the same schema.
- Comments API with per-comment sentiment (26 October 2026): GET /api/v1/comments returns a post's comments, each with polarity, score and confidence.
