Usage

Use this object to query and retrieve record changes tracked in a user profile feed. Note the following when working with user profile feeds:

This object is read only in the API.
Queries retrieve feed items that include mentions from other users.
Use this object to query and retrieve lead feed items that were associated with a converted lead record.
Include a WITH clause and specify the UserId of the user whose profile you want to query. The WITH clause must come after a WHERE clause.

Users that do not have the “View All Data” permission have the following limitations when querying records:

Must specify a LIMIT clause and the limit must be less than or equal to 1000.
Can include a WHERE clause that references UserProfileFeed fields, but cannot include references to fields in related objects. For example, you can filter by CreatedDate or ParentId, but not by Parent.Name.
Can include an ORDER BY clause that references UserProfileFeed fields, but cannot include references to fields in related objects. For example, you can ORDER BY CreatedDate or ParentId, but not by Parent.Name.

To query for the most recent feed items, you should ORDER BY CreatedDate DESC, Id DESC.
