### Illustrative output fields

Derived from the sample above for orientation only. These fields are not a fixed response schema.

| Path | Observed type | Example |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `items` | `array` | 3 items |
| `items` | `array` | 3 items |
| `summary` | `object` | 6 fields |
| `summary.available_on_page` | `integer` | 5 |
| `summary.continuation_supported` | `boolean` | false |
| `summary.emitted` | `integer` | 5 |
| `summary.upstream_has_more` | `boolean` | false |
| `summary.user_id` | `string` | 528817151 |
| `summary.username` | `string` | nasa |

## Execution behavior

A `200` response completed inline. A `202` response was queued; poll `GET /jobs/{id}` until the job reaches `completed` or `failed`. Use an `Idempotency-Key` when retrying must not create a duplicate logical job.
