# The live feed

> Watch matches arrive in real time in the dashboard, review them as they stream in, then save the ones that matter and export your selection for later.

The **feed** is the dashboard view of a tap's stream. It's the same matches you'd receive over
[`GET /v1/stream`](/stream/streaming), rendered live as cards so you can monitor a tap without
writing any code.

## What you see

Each card shows the matched page's title, URL, domain, language, category labels, and publish time,
plus the content **diff** that triggered the match. You can:

- **Search and filter** the feed by text to focus on a subset.
- **Open a match** to read its full diff.
- **[Save](#saving-matches)** a match so it doesn't roll off the live view.

## Reviewable matches

Each plan includes a monthly allowance of **reviewable matches** — how many the feed surfaces in the
dashboard each calendar month. Once that allowance is used up, the feed waits until the next month to
show new cards; the [SSE stream](/stream/streaming) is unaffected and keeps delivering every match.
See [plans](/billing/plans) for the per-tier numbers.

<Callout type="info">
  The feed is for monitoring and triage in the browser. For programmatic ingestion at volume, use
  the [SSE stream](/stream/streaming) directly.
</Callout>

## Saving matches

The live feed is a rolling window. To keep a match around, **save** it — pinning it to a persistent
list scoped to your organization. A saved match stores the full event: URL, title, the originating
tap and rule, language, category and type labels, publish time, and the matched content. You can
attach a **note** to capture why it mattered.

- **Deduplicated by URL** — saving the same URL twice is a no-op, so re-saving is safe.
- **Shared within the org** — saved matches are visible across your organization, with the saver recorded.
- **Searchable** — find saved matches by text from the [Saved](https://firehose.com/saved) page.

<Callout type="info">
  Saving matches requires a paid plan. The Free and API-only tiers don't include the saved list —
  see [plans](/billing/plans).
</Callout>

## Exporting matches

Saved matches can be exported to **CSV** from the [Saved](https://firehose.com/saved) page — useful
for reporting, sharing, or loading into a spreadsheet or BI tool. The export includes,
per saved match:

- `matched_at`, `saved_at`
- `url`, `title`, `domain`, `language`
- `page_category`, `page_types`, `publish_time`
- the originating `tap` and `rule`
- your `note` and the `saved_by` user

<Callout type="tip">
  For continuous, programmatic delivery rather than a point-in-time export, consume the
  [SSE stream](/stream/streaming) and write matches to your own store.
