Get request queue head

Changed on Oct 27, 2026

Returns given number of first requests from the queue.

The response contains the hadMultipleClients boolean field which indicates that the queue was accessed by more than one client (with unique or empty clientKey). This field is used by Apify SDK to determine whether the local cache is consistent with the request queue, and thus optimize performance of certain operations.

get/v2/request-queues/{queueId}/head

Request

Base URL
https://api.apify.com
Auth
- HTTP bearer
- or API key in query parameter token

Path parameters

queueIdstring required

Example:WkzbQMuFYuamGv3YF

Queue ID or username~queue-name.

Query parameters

limitnumber double

Example:100

How many items from queue should be returned.

clientKeystring

Example:client-abc

A unique identifier of the client accessing the request queue. It must be a string between 1 and 32 characters long. This identifier is used to determine whether the queue was accessed by multiple clients. If clientKey is not provided, the system considers this API call to come from a new client. For details, see the hadMultipleClients field returned by the Get request queue head endpoint.
