# Learning components by subject

`GET /learning-components`

Use this endpoint when you need to:
- Get all learning components available for a specific subject
- Browse the complete set of skills/concepts for curriculum planning
- Retrieve LCs for mapping to your own content or assessments
- Export learning component data for analysis or integration

The endpoint returns paginated results. Use the `limit` and `cursor` parameters to control the number of results returned and navigate through large result sets.
