__Two new scrapers, six upgrades, and runs that come back from the dead.__ 🧟

__LinkedIn Jobs and YouTube Comments joined the store.__ One gives you every public job with the salary split into real numbers. The other pulls up to 1,100 comments a minute from any video.

__On the app side, nothing has to start from scratch anymore.__ Aborted runs can be resurrected, one failed task can be retried on its own, and [lobstr.io](https://www.lobstr.io) is now a verified n8n node.

Let's get into it. 👇

## Update #1 – 2 new scrapers launched 🚀

__Two new kinds of data, and neither one needs a login.__

Our LinkedIn lineup already covered profiles, companies, posts and Sales Navigator. The job board was the missing piece. YouTube Comments joins the YouTube Channel Scraper, so you can go from a channel to every conversation under its videos.

__What launched:__

* __LinkedIn Jobs Scraper__... 40 data points per job, salaries as real numbers
* __YouTube Comments Scraper__... every comment and reply, 650 to 1,100 per minute

### __LinkedIn Jobs Scraper 💼__

__Every public LinkedIn job, with the salary split into columns you can actually sort.__

![Update #1 – 2 new scrapers launched 🚀 - LinkedIn Jobs Scraper 💼](https://d37gzvgyugjozl.cloudfront.net/productupdatesaugust2026_linkedin_jobs_scraper_455728e680.png "width=1840;height=753")

Type a keyword and a location, paste a LinkedIn jobs search URL, or drop a single job link. No account sync, no cookies, nothing to get banned.

The smart part is the Newer than filter. It runs inside LinkedIn's own search, so jobs outside your window are never fetched and never billed.

__What you can collect:__

* __40 data points per job__, with full job details included in the base price
* __Salary as real numbers__... min, max, currency and period in their own columns
* __Recruiter name and profile__, apply type and company ID
* __Optional company details__ for 1 extra credit per job
* __Filters__ for date posted, easy apply, under 10 applicants, distance, job type, experience level and remote
* __$0.5 per 1,000 jobs__ at scale

Perfect for job market monitoring, talent sourcing, salary benchmarking, and spotting which companies are hiring before you reach out.

### __YouTube Comments Scraper 💬__

__Drop a YouTube video URL, get every comment and every reply. No login, no API key.__

It's built for monitoring... sort by newest, set Newer than to 24 hours, and only the fresh comments come back.

A pinned creator comment with 1,000+ replies can eat a whole run on its own. So you can skip it, or cap how many replies you take per comment.

__What you can collect:__

* __23 data points per comment__... text, likes, reply count, date, pinned status and creator heart
* __Author details__... handle, channel ID, profile URL, avatar, verified and member badges
* __Sort by top or newest__, plus a Newer than filter
* __Replies on or off__, with a cap per comment and an option to skip the pinned one
* __0.5 credits per comment__, which is $0.25 per 1,000 at scale

Perfect for audience sentiment analysis, campaign monitoring, competitor content research, and vetting influencers before you sign them.

Pick a topic like BUSINESS or TECHNOLOGY, or paste any topic URL from Google News, and you get 100 to 200 fresh articles from it. 300 articles now land in 19 seconds, where 100 used to take 11 and a half minutes.

* __Newer than filter__... the last 24 hours, 7 days, 2 weeks, or an exact date

### __Twitter scrapers 🐦__

__19 new search filters, and full user timelines about 8× faster.__

![Update #2 – 6 scrapers got sharper 🛠️ - Twitter scrapers 🐦](https://d37gzvgyugjozl.cloudfront.net/productupdatesaugust2026_twitter_scrapers_70eb757754.png "width=1839;height=756")

The Twitter Search Results Scraper got filters that don't even exist in X's own advanced search, like minimum engagement and location. The Twitter User Tweets Scraper used to stop around 313 tweets on a thin page. Now it reads the whole timeline, and 400 tweets take 135 seconds where 313 used to take 14 minutes.

Both handle X's rate limits better too, picking back up at the real reset time instead of sitting out a flat hour.

__What's new:__

* __Search filters__... language, verified or Blue users only, images, videos, quotes, author, mentions and replies
* __Location and engagement filters__... near a place, within a radius, minimum retweets, likes and replies
* __Sort and dates__... Top or Latest, plus a start and end date
* __Tweets inside conversation threads__ now show up in search results
* __Full user timelines__, about 8× faster at roughly 178 tweets a minute, up from 22
* __Exclude reposts__ works as it should, and retweets link back to the original tweet

Perfect for brand and hashtag monitoring, trend research, and analyzing what competitors and influencers actually post.

Five new toggles pull a channel's videos, Shorts, live streams, playlists and comments alongside its profile. Each reads the first page, around 30 items, and bills once per call instead of once per item.

__What you can collect:__

* __Videos, Shorts, live streams and playlists__, each behind its own toggle
* __Comments__ on up to 5 of the videos or Shorts collected
* __Everything you already got__ from the channel profile

Need every comment on a video, not a sample? That's what the new [YouTube Comments Scraper](https://www.lobstr.io/store/youtube-comments-scraper) is for.

New-build projects now come broken down unit by unit. And dates, EPC, the full gallery and price per m² moved into basic mode, so they no longer need the paid listing details fetch.

## Update #3 – 6 new app and API features ⚙️

__Aborted runs aren't dead, failed tasks don't need a new run, and lobstr.io now lives inside n8n.__

If you run Squids with hundreds of tasks, a hiccup no longer costs you the whole run. The rest makes the app easier to live in... a new home page, bonus credits for sharing your story, and a key you can finally rotate.

__What's new:__

* __Resurrect aborted runs__... pick up exactly where the run stopped
* __Retry a single task__... rerun one failed task, not the whole run
* __Overview page__... your new home in the app
* __Community Story Rewards__... bonus credits for sharing how you use lobstr.io
* __n8n integration__... an official, verified node
* __API key rotation__... on every plan

[Check the help center](https://help.lobstr.io)

### __Resurrect runs and retry single tasks 🔁__

__An aborted run isn't dead anymore. It's just in a coma.__

![Update #3 – 6 new app and API features ⚙️ - Resurrect runs and retry single tasks 🔁](https://d37gzvgyugjozl.cloudfront.net/productupdatesaugust2026_resurrect_runs_and_retry_single_1d2d3ec048.png "width=1512;height=275")

Before, an aborted run meant re-scraping from task one. Now a Resurrect button picks it back up... finished tasks stay finished, interrupted ones restart, and the rest carry on as if nothing happened.

And when one task fails inside a finished run, you retry just that task from the run's [tasks](https://help.lobstr.io/core-concepts/tasks) view. A new search bar helps you find it among hundreds.

__What's new:__

* __Re-scraped rows are free__, so a resurrected run costs about the same as if you'd never aborted
* __Same run, same ID, one download__ with everything in it
* __Tasks you added after the abort__ get picked up too
* __One-task retries__ inside the same run, no new launch
* __Both in the API__... [Resurrect Run](https://docs.lobstr.io/docs/resurrect-run) and [Retry Run Task](https://docs.lobstr.io/docs/retry-run-task)

A resurrected run keeps the concurrency and enrichment settings it started with. If you aborted to change a setting, launch a fresh run instead.

### __Overview page 🧭__

__The app has a new home page, and it tells you what needs your attention.__

![Update #3 – 6 new app and API features ⚙️ - Overview page 🧭](https://d37gzvgyugjozl.cloudfront.net/productupdatesaugust2026_overview_page_3b692bec29.png "width=1532;height=789")

We ship features every week but announce them once a month, and too many of you only found out about something new by asking support. The Overview page is now the first thing you see in [app.lobstr.io](https://app.lobstr.io).

__What's on it:__

* __Usage summary__... your [credits](https://help.lobstr.io/core-concepts/credits), plus a brand-new API usage summary
* __New feature cards__ that link straight to where you use each feature
* __Action items__... paused Squids, accounts that need a resync, billing issues
* __Recent Squids and runs__, and a welcome screen if you haven't built one yet

[Check your Overview page](https://app.lobstr.io)

### __Community Story Rewards 🎁__

__Tell people how you use lobstr.io. Get bonus credits worth 20% of your plan.__

![Update #3 – 6 new app and API features ⚙️ - Community Story Rewards 🎁](https://d37gzvgyugjozl.cloudfront.net/productupdatesaugust2026_community_story_rewards_6786c51296.png "width=964;height=1711")

Share a genuine story on Reddit or LinkedIn, submit the link from your dashboard banner or Overview page, and bonus credits land once we verify it.

__How it works:__

* __On Reddit__... a comment (not a post) that mentions lobstr.io in an eligible subreddit like r/webscraping, r/n8n or r/LeadGeneration, live for at least 3 days
* __On LinkedIn__... a standalone post from your real profile covering the problem you had, what you used lobstr.io for, and what changed, with a real number
* __20% of your plan's monthly credits__... 2,000 on Free and Starter, 20,000 on Pro, 200,000 on Team, 400,000 on Business
* __Free plan bonus__... your 30-row export cap lifts for 30 days too
* __Once per quarter__, and a rejection doesn't burn your quarter
* __Reward credits expire__ 30 days after they land

[Check how Community Story Rewards work](https://help.lobstr.io/billing/community-rewards)

### __n8n integration ⚡__

__lobstr.io is now an official, verified n8n node.__

![Update #3 – 6 new app and API features ⚙️ - n8n integration ⚡](https://d37gzvgyugjozl.cloudfront.net/productupdatesaugust2026_n8n_integration_08ac7fe7f9.png "width=1650;height=723")

Until now, [Make](https://help.lobstr.io/integrations/make) was the only automation platform we plugged into. Now [n8n](https://n8n.io/integrations/lobstr/) joins it... search "lobstr.io" in the nodes panel, on n8n Cloud or self-hosted.

__What you get:__

* __Start and Get Results__... one node launches a run, waits for it, and hands the rows back as n8n items
* __The lobstr.io node__... manage crawlers, Squids, tasks, runs and results from any workflow
* __The lobstr.io Trigger node__... fires a workflow when a run finishes, fails, pauses or resumes
* __Webhooks handled for you__... registered when you activate the workflow, cleaned up when you deactivate it
* __Works with n8n AI Agents__ as a tool

You'll need n8n 1.57.0 or newer.

[Check the n8n setup guide](https://help.lobstr.io/integrations/n8n)

### __API key rotation 🔑__

__Leaked your API key? Rotate it in one click, on any plan.__

![Update #3 – 6 new app and API features ⚙️ - API key rotation 🔑](https://d37gzvgyugjozl.cloudfront.net/productupdatesaugust2026_api_key_rotation_2c33c38f9a.png "width=1443;height=620")

Until now you had one permanent API key and no way to replace it. Now there's a Rotate button on the API page where [your key lives](https://help.lobstr.io/getting-started/api-key), on every plan including Free and Starter.

__What's new:__

* __One-click rotation__, with a confirmation first
* __An atomic swap__... if anything fails midway, your old key keeps working
* __Your app session survives__ the rotation
* __Available in the API__ too, up to 10 rotations an hour

The old key stops working the moment you rotate, so update your scripts, integrations and saved export links right after.

[Check the Rotate API Key docs](https://docs.lobstr.io/docs/rotate-api-key)
