Get a source

Full detail, same shape as the list rows. label is the workspace's primary-attribute value (render label ?? id); attributes is sparse — a missing key means unset or not-applicable (read attributes[key] ?? null). Narrow the returned keys with fields=<key>,<key>.

Scope: read:sources.

Query parameters

fieldsstring

Return only the attribute keys you name instead of every populated one. Useful when a workspace has hundreds of attributes and your integration reads a handful.

fields=sku,price (comma-separated) or fields=sku&fields=price (repeated param, same result). Omit it entirely to get every populated key.

Only the attributes map narrows. System fields (id, type, label, parent_id, created_at, updated_at) always come back, so naming one returns 400. label still resolves from the primary attribute whether or not you select it. pagination.total is unchanged. filter and sort are independent: filter on keys you did not select.

Sparse still means sparse. A selected key with no value stays absent. Keep reading attributes[key] ?? null.

Reference keys return {id, type, label} stubs as usual, but fields does not reach through them. fields=gallery_images.image_url is not supported. Select the reference key, then batch-fetch: GET /images?filter[id][in]=<ids>&fields=image_url.

Unknown keys return 400 with field_errors. Inverse-reference keys are rejected the same way. They are queries, not stored values. Read them via /{resource}/{id}/references?attribute=.

Selecting only non-reference keys skips the reference join entirely, which avoids loading every referenced entity just to attach its label.
