# Dependency map for a curriculum

`GET /curriculums/{curriculumId}/dependency-map`

Returns the dependency relationships between lesson groupings within a curriculum.

Dependencies represent prerequisite relationships between lesson groupings (units, sections, modules).
A dependency from source → target means the target is a prerequisite — it should be taught before the source.

Use this endpoint when you need to:
- Visualize the dependency graph for a curriculum
- Understand prerequisite relationships between units or sections
- Build a dependency-aware course planner or sequencing tool

## Path parameters

- `curriculumId` 'im360', required — Unique identifier for the resource in Knowledge Graph

## Query parameters

- `limit` integer
- `cursor` string

## Response `200`
