### Example input

```json
{
  "handle": "instagram",
  "limit": 10
}
```

## 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
{
  "handle": "instagram",
  "posts": [
    {
      "type": "thread",
      "url": "https://www.threads.com/@instagram/post/DcOlZHcjqQY"
    },
    {
      "type": "thread",
      "url": "https://www.threads.com/@instagram/post/DcMAltFH5Ik"
    },
    {
      "type": "thread",
      "url": "https://www.threads.com/@instagram/post/DcJc-B6DSJ-"
    }
  ],
  "profile_url": "https://www.threads.com/@instagram/media",
  "result_count": 4
}
```
### Illustrative output fields

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

| Path | Observed type | Example |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `handle` | `string` | instagram |
| `posts` | `array` | 3 items |
| `posts` | `array` | 3 items |
| `profile_url` | `string` | https://www.threads.com/@instagram/media |
| `result_count` | `integer` | 4 |

## 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.
