# Home feed

Extract publicly visible post links from the logged-out Threads home page.

- Platform: [Threads](https://docs.upscrape.com/docs/platforms/threads)
- Capability ID: `threads.home.feed`
- Cost: 1 credit per request
- Maximum runtime: 90 seconds
- Execute endpoint: `POST https://data.upscrape.com/execute`

## Request

Use the exact public capability ID in the shared execute envelope.

```bash
curl --request POST \
  --url https://data.upscrape.com/execute \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $UPSCRAPE_API_KEY" \
  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --header "Prefer: wait=30" \
  --data '{
  "input": {
    "limit": 25
  },
  "capability": "threads.home.feed"
}'
```

## Input


| Field | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `limit` | `integer` | No | Maximum number of results to return. From 1 to 50. |

### Example input

```json
{
  "limit": 25
}
```

## Response

Successful output is returned in `results[0].data`.

Raw platform output is intentionally open-ended and may evolve with the upstream source.

### Illustrative sample output

This example shows one response. Values and optional fields vary with the data available.

```json
{
  "partial": false,
  "posts": [
    {
      "type": "thread",
      "url": "https://www.threads.com/@r.h.sin/post/DcURwNtlVjq"
    },
    {
      "type": "thread",
      "url": "https://www.threads.com/@iamnovibrown/post/DcT5AiXm8an"
    },
    {
      "type": "thread",
      "url": "https://www.threads.com/@minyaktelonpremium/post/DcThF7vmMfJ"
    }
  ],
  "result_count": 5,
  "visibility": "anonymous_visible"
}
```
### Illustrative output fields

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

| Path | Observed type | Example |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `partial` | `boolean` | false |
| `posts` | `array` | 3 items |
| `posts` | `array` | 3 items |
| `result_count` | `integer` | 5 |
| `visibility` | `string` | anonymous_visible |

## 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.
