# List source classification rules

`GET /api/mcp/projects/{projectId}/sources/rules`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://app.searchable.com`
- URL: `https://app.searchable.com/api/mcp/projects/{projectId}/sources/rules`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

The project's source classification rules: each names a subdomain or path of a cited domain (`business.linkedin.com`, `linkedin.com/help`) and the Source Type its citations take. `status` says whether the stored citation types reflect the rules yet: after a change, `status.applying` stays `true` until the numbers have refreshed, within a few minutes. Needs only the `read` scope.

## Path parameters

- `projectId` string, uuid, required

- `401`: Error response. `code` is the machine-readable reason — see the [error reference](/api/errors) for the full catalog and remediation per code.

- `429`: Rate limited. Usually the per-API-key REST limit (600 requests/minute); on Google-backed endpoints it can also relay an upstream Google rate limit. `Retry-After` (seconds) is present when the limit was applied by Searchable's own rate limiter; it may be absent when an upstream provider rate-limits.
- `504`: Error response. `code` is the machine-readable reason — see the [error reference](/api/errors) for the full catalog and remediation per code.
