# Poll the episode feed

> Resumable, strictly-ordered poll of episodes as they are ingested — the all-plans pull alternative to the Enterprise stream. Subscribe to a milestone (default transcribed); each call returns episodes that reached it since your cursor, in ingestion order, with a cursor to poll again. Optionally filter by podcast_ids, topic_ids, and/or popularity_threshold.
