# Take the rows from a source

`GET /v1/sources/{id}/rows`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://www.licium.ai`
- URL: `https://www.licium.ai/v1/sources/{id}/rows`
- Auth: one of:
  - none
  - HTTP bearer

Return the stored rows we already hold as JSON, CSV, a markdown row table, a parsed HTTP(S) link list, or a stored-row HTML table. The HTML representation is a table of stored row values, not the upstream page HTML. Up to eight rows are public without a key. More rows or a full stored-row export needs a free key from POST /v1/keys in an Authorization Bearer header. Each free key includes 1,500 rows per UTC day. At the limit, HTTP 402 carries usable x402 terms only when payment is configured; otherwise it states that payment is unavailable and gives the UTC reset and anonymous sample URL. Every row is dated and attributed. CSV exports prefix formula-like cells with a single quote and quote embedded line breaks, commas, and double quotes.

## Other responses

- `401`: A free key is required for the requested bulk read.
- `402`: Daily free stored-row allowance reached. PAYMENT-REQUIRED contains usable x402 terms only when payment is configured; otherwise the body explicitly says payment is unavailable and gives the UTC reset and anonymous sample URL.
