- Added PostHog configuration options to .env.example files for both Docker and Surfsense backend.
- Introduced PostHog dependency in pyproject.toml.
- Implemented analytics middleware to capture various events across the application, including user authentication, automation runs, and API requests.
- Enhanced existing routes and services to emit analytics events, providing insights into user interactions and system performance.
- Ensured graceful shutdown of analytics clients in worker processes and application lifecycles.
The Explore feed (/api/explore/item_list) is a global trending-video feed
served to anonymous sessions, and it returns the same itemStruct shape as the
other listings — so the verb reuses parse_video, the listing flow, the
TikTokVideoItem output, and the per-video billing meter wholesale. Adds a
browser-capture marker + fetch_trending, a synthetic-target orchestrator entry,
and the tiktok.trending capability, surfaced on the chat subagent.
Comments load over a signed /api/comment/list XHR that TikTok serves to
anonymous sessions once the comments panel is opened (unlike profile-video and
general-search feeds), so this is a reliable verb. Given video URLs it returns
CommentItems (text, author, likes, reply counts; replies carry repliesToId),
deduped per video, capped, and degraded to an ErrorItem for empty/withheld
videos or a bad_url ErrorItem for non-video inputs.
Generalizes the browser capture over a pluggable interaction step so the
comments flow (open panel, scroll the panel to paginate) reuses the same
warm+capture scaffolding as listing/user-search. Billed per comment on a new
TIKTOK_COMMENT meter (TIKTOK_MICROS_PER_COMMENT, matching the per-comment
market), surfaced on the chat subagent alongside tiktok.scrape/user_search.
Video/general search is login-walled for anonymous sessions, but the Users
tab (/api/search/user) returns public account records without a redirect, so
this exposes the one reliably-unblocked search path. A keyword yields
TikTokProfileItems (name, followers, bio, verification), deduped per query,
capped, and degraded to an ErrorItem when a query is empty/withheld.
Reuses the browser capture (generalized over XHR markers + extractor) and the
shared profile item shape. Billed per account on a new TIKTOK_USER meter
(TIKTOK_MICROS_PER_USER), surfaced on the chat subagent alongside tiktok.scrape.
Enhanced the Instagram scraper to clarify the requirements for accessing user profiles and hashtags. Updated the error message for blocked access to provide detailed guidance on necessary credentials. Introduced a regex for validating Instagram usernames and refined the discovery function to handle profile queries directly, improving user experience and error handling in anonymous mode.
Profile and search feeds are trust-gated: an anonymous headless session
gets an empty item_list (profile) or no results XHR (search), while
hashtag feeds load. A zero-item listing now yields one honest ErrorItem
(errorCode="no_items") instead of vanishing silently, and ErrorItems are
excluded from billing so a blocked target is surfaced but never charged.
