Changelog

What changed, when. API changes that could affect your code are always listed here first.

· Hosted MCP server, 5 new API endpoints and a free YouTube transcript tool

  • New endpoints on every plan: /v1/contact-details, /v1/tech-stack, /v1/app-store-reviews, /v1/ats-jobs and /v1/domain-whois. Bulk units are bundled to match pay-per-event prices: 25 reviews, 3 jobs or 3 domains count as one result. Additive only; existing endpoints are unchanged.
  • https://siftwright.com/mcp: connect Claude, Cursor, VS Code or any MCP client with your Siftwright API key. All nine tools use your plan exactly like the REST endpoints. See the docs.
  • Free YouTube transcript generator with TXT, SRT and VTT downloads.

· ATS Jobs Scraper and Domain WHOIS & DNS Lookup on the Apify Store

  • Domain WHOIS & DNS Lookup: registrar, creation and expiry dates, domain age, nameservers, MX, SPF and DMARC for a list of domains, via RDAP with WHOIS fallback for .io, .co, .de and more. $1 per 1,000 domains; failed lookups are free.
  • ATS Jobs Scraper: open jobs from Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, SmartRecruiters and Recruitee boards in one schema. Give board URLs, websites or company names; title, location, department, remote and date filters are applied before charging. $1 per 1,000 jobs; companies without a board are free.
  • New guide: tech stack lookup for a lead list in Python.

· Three new tools on the Apify Store

  • Tech Stack Detector: CMS, frameworks, analytics, hosting, email and DNS provider of any website, with evidence for each detection, $2 per 1,000 websites, failed sites free.
  • Contact Details Extractor: emails, phones and social links from company websites, $2 per 1,000 websites, failed sites free.
  • App Store Reviews Scraper: Apple App Store reviews by app name across countries, $0.10 per 1,000 reviews, filtered-out reviews free.
  • Both are pay-per-event on Apify and not part of the Siftwright API plans yet.

· Post-quantum TLS checker, /v1/pqc-scan and a daily puzzle

  • Free post-quantum TLS checker: tests X25519MLKEM768 / ML-KEM key exchange, group preference, certificate algorithms and HSTS with real handshakes.
  • New API endpoint /v1/pqc-scan: the same checks for up to 20 hosts per call on every plan. Additive only; existing endpoints are unchanged.
  • Qubit Flip, a free daily logic puzzle.
  • New site with product pages, pricing calculator, honest comparisons and a blog.
  • Live demo on the home page: run the transcript, screenshot and news tools without signing up (15 runs per visitor per day).
  • Fix: /v1/screenshot now returns signed fileUrl links that download without an API key while the file is retained (7 days). Previously the links required authentication.
  • Docs: MCP setup now uses Apify's current ?tools= parameter.

· Siftwright API launched

  • /v1/youtube-transcript, /v1/screenshot and /v1/google-news behind one key.
  • Four monthly plans from $29 to $999, billed by Stripe, with a self-serve billing portal.
  • Only successful results count toward your plan.

· Actors on the Apify Store

  • YouTube Transcript Extractor ($1.50 per 1,000 transcripts), Pageframe Screenshots & PDF ($1.50 per 1,000) and Google News Scraper ($1.50 per 1,000), all pay-per-event.
