12–18 October 2026
What changed that week, dated, in the order it happened.
Empty answers, told apart, and agents on the dashboard
New
- An agent's request for a key to your account shows on the dashboard while it is open: a note on the overview, and "Agents" in the menu with how many wait. You can approve it there with the code the agent shows you. Before, only the link in the email opened it, and that link can end before the request does.
Changed
- Instagram's image and video links in every answer use one host, `scontent.cdninstagram.com`, as the demo's have since 11 October. The same picture now has the same link, whichever call returned it.
Improved
- The LinkedIn people search says how long a page takes: about 3 seconds, or about 5 with Sales Navigator, and now and then up to 25.
- When the only source for a call fails within a few seconds, it is asked once more before you get an error. Two LinkedIn ad searches got an error on 12 October for one such failure.
- The dashboard works better with a screen reader. A copy says "Copied", or that it failed, aloud; a failed copy also says so on screen, as a new key is shown once. Each table has a caption and a header for every column. A key's rename button is named "Rename". A form's button says what it is doing, "Approving…" for Approve, not "Saving…" for everything.
- An account an agent started has no trial credits, and the dashboard no longer talks about them.
Fixed
- The same for Google Maps reviews, photos and posts: an answer without its list fails and is refunded. A place with no posts still answers an empty list.
- A search of TikTok's Ad Library is kept for 3 hours, from 24. TikTok's image links in it stop working about 6 hours after they are fetched, so a kept answer gave links that no longer worked.
- The docs say how long a media link works: Instagram and TikTok sign theirs, and they stop working within days, or hours for TikTok. Each such field says it, and so does "The data" in Responses.
- The email about an agent's request says how long its link works. For an address not yet confirmed it said 15 minutes, for a link that works for 24 hours.
- When no source can answer a call, the error no longer says the call ran out of time. Most such failures take a second or two, and the message said "in time" for all of them.
- A search for Instagram accounts that matches nothing answers an empty list. It answered an error.
- An answer that came back from a source without its list was read as an empty page, and charged. It is now a failure: it is refunded, it is not cached, and the next source is asked. A list that is really empty is still an empty page.
