- Enhanced the regular expression for mentions to prevent trailing punctuation from being included in handles.
- Added support for extracting media IDs from deep-link meta tags in anonymous posts.
- Updated unit tests to validate the new media ID extraction and ensure proper handling of mentions.
- Added support for extracting likes, comments, username, timestamp, and caption from Open Graph meta tags.
- Implemented fallback mechanisms to ensure graceful degradation when expected data is missing.
- Updated unit tests to validate new parsing logic and ensure robustness against unrecognized formats.
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.
A profile's account data (name, followers, bio, verification) lives in the
page's rehydration blob and loads over plain HTTP without a signed request,
so emit it first and always. The video listing needs a signed item_list XHR
that TikTok withholds from anonymous sessions, so it stays best-effort and
degrades to an ErrorItem. A blocked profile now yields its metadata instead
of only an ErrorItem.
Introduced new tests to validate the behavior of the Instagram scraper when discovering anonymous profiles and handling hashtag searches. The tests ensure that profile lookups succeed without requiring authentication, while hashtag searches correctly raise an error when access is blocked, enhancing the robustness of the scraper's functionality.
Revised tests for handling login redirects to improve clarity and efficiency. The test for immediate failure on endpoint-level walls was updated to prevent unnecessary IP rotations. Additionally, new tests were added to ensure that partial results are returned when encountering blocked targets, enhancing the resilience of the scraper's batch processing.
Introduced a new test to ensure that InstagramAccessBlockedError is properly propagated without causing deadlocks in the scraper's fan_out function. This regression test verifies that the error surfaces correctly when a blocked job is encountered, enhancing the resilience of the fetch process.
