Accurate concurrent refund tracking

A concurrency lock has been introduced to prevent concurrent refund replays from overwriting newer balance updates. This ensures your account credit balances remain perfectly accurate and synchronized...

Robust batch payload validation

The batch endpoint now gracefully validates and rejects non-object JSON inputs before queue processing. This prevents malformed bulk requests from stalling or halting execution pipelines.

Secure browser profile isolation

Access restrictions have been tightened to block external access to browser profile directories within served downloads. This secures session-specific data and prevents potential cross-tenant leakage.

General bug fixes and improvements

Redesigned Authentication Pages

Enjoy a modern, beautiful split-screen sign-in and sign-up experience. The site header now points directly to this redesigned signup page, getting you up and running faster.

Interactive Search Playground

Test-drive real search requests directly in the playground before signing up. We also streamlined the interface by replacing manual engine selection with smart automatic routing.

Attributed Lead Opportunity Queue

Discover high-value scraping opportunities automatically with our new Lead Opportunity Queue. This feature aggregates discovery signals into a stable, verified queue with detailed lifecycle tracking.

Verified Social Media Dispatch

Our API now actively verifies that automated submissions on platforms like Reddit and Stack Overflow are live. This guarantees you always receive accurate publication status without manual polling.

Automated Blog Syndication States

Get precise visibility into your content syndication workflows. Separate states for attempts, publication, and verification ensure your content is never double-posted or lost.

Instant Search Failover

Our search API now triggers failover mechanisms immediately when encountering thin or empty results instead of waiting for a timeout. This dynamic escalation drastically reduces total latency.

Efficient Rate-Limit Queueing

Rate-limit reservations are now safely preserved across job deferrals in your scraping queues. This ensures delayed jobs retain their slots, preventing unnecessary API throttling.

Streamlined Batch Rejection

Fully rejected batch requests now return a terminal HTTP 200 response immediately instead of creating a polling resource. This reduces client polling overhead and speeds up error handling.

Zero-CLS Desktop Layouts

We eliminated Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) on desktop browsers by reserving layout space for the announcement bar. Page elements no longer shift unexpectedly during asynchronous loads.

Deduplicated Initial Scrapes

We resolved an issue where running a scrape on landing pages could trigger duplicate requests or double-billing on navigation. A secure local storage marker now deduplicates initial loads.

Search Reliability Enhancements

We resolved a routing anomaly that caused search requests to occasionally be flagged as automated traffic. By adjusting request parameters, we have boosted success rates on Google queries.

Enhanced B2B Payload Privacy

We hardened B2B demographic proof endpoints by stripping internal proxy details, such as raw exit IPs and unhashed proxy credentials. All sensitive fields are now properly hashed.

Protected Login Redirects

We resolved an open-redirect vulnerability where the post-login callback query parameter could bypass our origin policy. Callback URLs are now strictly sanitized before redirection.

Plaintext Credential Prevention

Our profiling backend now automatically redacts credential-like substrings before persisting error logs to the database. This guarantees that your sensitive keys remain protected.
