# An item's content as numbered lines

`GET /boards/{boardId}/items/{itemId}/text`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.mockflow.com/v1`
- URL: `https://api.mockflow.com/v1/boards/{boardId}/items/{itemId}/text`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

The whole content of one item, paged by line, the way the product's own read tool hands it to an agent. Cheaper than `data` for a long document.

## Query parameters

- `offset` integer
- `limit` integer

## Response `200`

OK

- object
  - `itemId` string
  - `type` 'artifact' | 'audio' | 'calendar' | 'chart' | 'checklist' | 'cloud_architecture' | 'code_block' | 'comment' | 'connector' | 'customer_journey' | 'data_simulator' | 'database_diagram' | 'design' | 'floorplan' | 'flowchart' | 'gantt' | 'image' | 'kanban' | 'knowledge_graph' | 'map' | 'map_regions' | 'markdown' | 'mindmap' | 'model_3d' | 'mood_frame' | 'poll' | 'prototype' | 'reaction' | 'section' | 'shape' | 'spinning_wheel' | 'spreadsheet' | 'sticky_note' | 'storyboard' | 'strategy_map' | 'swimlane' | 'table' | 'text' | 'timeline' | 'tree_diagram' | 'upvote_ideas' | 'video' | 'whiteboard' | 'whiteboard_frame' | 'wireframe': Item types, generated from the MockFlow component registry. Primitive types are drawn by the editor; frame types are rich components whose `data` schema is the same one the MCP `render_*` tool accepts.
  - `totalLines` integer
  - `offset` integer
  - `lines` object[]
    - `n` integer
    - `text` string
  - `hasMore` boolean
