# Get head

`GET /v2/request-queues/{queueId}/head`

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](https://sdk.apify.com) to determine
whether the local cache is consistent with the request queue, and thus
optimize performance of certain operations.

## Path parameters

- `queueId` string, required

## Query parameters

- `limit` number, double
- `clientKey` string

## Response `200`

- HeadResponse — Response containing requests from the request queue head without locking.
  - `data` RequestQueueHead, required — A batch of requests from the request queue head without locking.
    - `limit` integer, required — The maximum number of requests returned.
    - `queueModifiedAt` string, date-time, required — The timestamp when the request queue was last modified. Modifications include adding, updating, or removing requests, as well as locking or unlocking requests in the request queue.

      - `id` string, required — A unique identifier assigned to the request.
      - `uniqueKey` string, required — A unique key used for request de-duplication. Requests with the same unique key are considered identical.
