> **For coding agents and LLMs:** This is one page from the Social Fetch docs (markdown export). For curated orientation and workflow guidance, start with [`/llms.txt`](https://www.socialfetch.dev/llms.txt); for agent onboarding and crawl rules, use [`/agents.txt`](https://www.socialfetch.dev/agents.txt); for the full endpoint list with links to pages like this one, use [`/llms-endpoints.txt`](https://www.socialfetch.dev/llms-endpoints.txt); for one platform's parameters and curls, use [`/llms-{platform}.txt`](https://www.socialfetch.dev/llms-tiktok.txt); use [`/llms.json`](https://www.socialfetch.dev/llms.json) when you need structured JSON for tool registration.

## API base URL and authentication

- **API origin (from OpenAPI `servers`):** `https://api.socialfetch.dev`
- **Authentication:** send `x-api-key: sfk_...` on `/v1/**` and `/v2/**` routes unless the operation is explicitly anonymous (check OpenAPI `security`, the [API reference hub](https://www.socialfetch.dev/docs/api.mdx), [`/llms.txt`](https://www.socialfetch.dev/llms.txt), or [`/llms.json`](https://www.socialfetch.dev/llms.json) for each route).
- **OpenAPI JSON:** <https://www.socialfetch.dev/openapi.json>

## Markdown docs convention

- Every docs page has a markdown twin: append **`.mdx`** to the docs pathname (for example `/docs/quickstart` → `/docs/quickstart.mdx`).
- Agents that send `Accept: text/markdown` on `/docs/**` HTML URLs may receive markdown directly (same URL, `Vary: Accept`).
- Published blog posts use the same convention: `/blog/{slug}` → `/blog/{slug}.mdx`, or `Accept: text/markdown` on the HTML URL (`Vary: Accept`).

# List a saved query's matches (https://www.socialfetch.dev/docs/api/v1/saved-queries/id/matches/get)

## Summary

List the posts a saved query matched, newest first.

**Tags:** `Saved queries`

## HTTP

- **Method:** GET
- **Path:** `/v1/saved-queries/{id}/matches`
- **Base URL:** `https://api.socialfetch.dev`

## Capability summary

- **SDK mapping:** HTTP only today
- **Accepted identifiers:** `id` (path), `author` (query)
- **Pagination:** cursor via `cursor`, next cursor: `data.page.nextCursor`, has more: `data.page.hasMore`

## Credits

- **Base:** 0 credits per successful lookup.
- **Maximum on success (200):** 0 credits.
- **Failed requests (`lookup_failed`, `503`):** not charged.
- **Authoritative field:** `meta.creditsCharged`.

## Authentication

- **`x-api-key`**: API key (`sfk_...`)

## Parameters

### `id` (path)

- **Required:** yes
- **Constraints:** type `string`; minLength: 1
- **Description:** The saved query's id.

### `since` (query)

- **Required:** no
- **Constraints:** type `string`
- **Description:** Only matches first seen at or after this time.

### `until` (query)

- **Required:** no
- **Constraints:** type `string`
- **Description:** Only matches first seen before this time.

### `platform` (query)

- **Required:** no
- **Constraints:** type `string`; enum: twitter, reddit, youtube, tiktok, linkedin, instagram, threads, hackernews
- **Description:** A platform a search runs on: `twitter` (X), `reddit`, `youtube`, `tiktok`, `linkedin`, `instagram` (searched by hashtag, so only posts that use the hashtag are found), `threads` (searched by plain words, one short page a search, so it can miss posts) or `hackernews` (stories and comments). More platforms follow.

### `sentiment` (query)

- **Required:** no
- **Constraints:** type `string`; enum: positive, neutral, negative
- **Description:** Only matches with this sentiment (a person's, where one was set, else the estimate).

### `relevance` (query)

- **Required:** no
- **Constraints:** type `string`; enum: relevant, about, passing, unrelated
- **Description:** Only matches with this relevance (a person's, where one was set, else the estimate); `relevant` is anything but `unrelated`. Matches without insights count as relevant.

### `attention` (query)

- **Required:** no
- **Constraints:** type `string`; enum: needs_reply, risk
- **Description:** Only matches insights flagged as needing a reply, or as a risk.

### `kind` (query)

- **Required:** no
- **Constraints:** type `string`; enum: complaint, question, praise, buying, promotion, news
- **Description:** Only matches insights judged to be this kind of post.

### `author` (query)

- **Required:** no
- **Constraints:** type `string`; minLength: 1; maxLength: 200
- **Description:** Only posts by this author: their handle as the post gives it (`author.handle`), without the `@`. Pair with `platform` when the same handle could be on several.

### `q` (query)

- **Required:** no
- **Constraints:** type `string`; minLength: 1; maxLength: 200
- **Description:** Only posts whose title or text contains this, ignoring case.

### `sort` (query)

- **Required:** no
- **Constraints:** type `string`; enum: posted, found
- **Description:** `posted` (default): the newest posts first, by when they were posted (or found, when the platform gave no time). `found`: the most recently found first, for keeping a copy in step.

### `limit` (query)

- **Required:** no
- **Constraints:** type `integer`; minimum: 1; maximum: 100
- **Description:** Matches a page, up to 100. Default 50.

### `cursor` (query)

- **Required:** no
- **Constraints:** type `string`; minLength: 1
- **Description:** The `nextCursor` of the previous page, with the same `sort`.

## Pagination

This endpoint uses **cursor-based pagination** via the `cursor` query parameter.

- Read **hasMore** from `data.page.hasMore`.
- When that value is `true`, read **nextCursor** from `data.page.nextCursor` and pass it as the `cursor` query parameter on the **next** request (URL-encode when building a query string).
- Omit `cursor` on the **first** request.
- Stop when **hasMore** is `false` or **nextCursor** is null (end of list).

## Responses (status codes)

- **200**: The saved query's matches, newest first.
- **400**: Invalid cursor, limit, time window or platform.
- **401**: Missing or invalid API key
- **403**: The caller's role in this workspace can't manage its saved queries.
- **404**: Saved query not found, or not owned by this workspace.
- **500**: Unexpected error

## Response body (200)

The saved query's matches, newest first.

### Machine-readable error codes

When an error JSON body is returned, it may include one of these `error.code` values (derived from the OpenAPI schemas for this operation; additional codes may exist at runtime):

- `bad_request`

## Error handling & retries

Interpret HTTP status codes using the descriptions below. Do not assume a JSON body unless the OpenAPI schema defines one for that status.

- **400**: Invalid cursor, limit, time window or platform. **Retry:** Fix the request; retrying the same invalid payload will not help.
- **401**: Missing or invalid API key **Retry:** Fix the API key first; retrying without changes will not help.
- **403**: The caller's role in this workspace can't manage its saved queries.
- **404**: Saved query not found, or not owned by this workspace.
- **500**: Unexpected error

### Suggested client defaults

- Send the API key using the `x-api-key` header on every request.
- On `503` (and sometimes `502`), retry with backoff; cap retries and surface a clear error to the user.
- On `402`, surface an actionable billing message rather than blind retries.
