What's new

Every release across the YT Discovery toolkit — features, improvements, and fixes, newest first.

  1. v2.5.0

    Bulk multi-keyword search

    YouTube Discovery

    Search many keywords at once and watch results stream in on live progress cards — no more running one query at a time.

    • New: Live progress cards show each search completing in real time.
  2. v2.4.0

    Trending Niches + self-feeding trend engine

    A new Trending Niches page surfaces what's heating up, powered by a crawler that discovers and prunes its own seed topics daily.

    • New: Trending Niches page built on the trend engine.
    • New: Self-feeding crawler that scores and prunes seed topics automatically.
    • Improved: Soft wall at the fresh-pull cap now returns partial index results with an upgrade nudge instead of an error.

    Sign in with Google in one click, and every transactional email now comes fully branded.

    • New: Google OAuth sign-in on login and signup.

  4. v2.2.0

    • Fixed: Repaired the full upgrade/checkout flow (revenue blocker).
    • New: Promotion codes accepted at Stripe checkout.
    • Fixed: Disabled Adaptive Pricing so promo codes apply correctly.
  5. v2.1.0

    Managed & BYOK pricing with usage metering

    New pricing model: managed AI on paid plans or bring your own keys, with transparent usage metering across the suite.

    • New: Managed-keys + BYOK tiers with per-action usage metering.
    • New: Settings usage meter and reframed key cards.
    • Improved: Free tier is search-only; AI and thumbnails are paid or BYOK.
  6. v2.0.0

    Discovery Index — official-API crawler

    YouTube Discovery

    Discovery now runs on an indexed crawl powered by the official YouTube Data API, with an admin console to manage seeds and browse the index.

    • New: Crawl via official YouTube Data API instead of ad-hoc scraping.
