Each row carries citation, mention, brand-mention, and impression metrics for the requested date range, plus a `default_source_type` classification (`owned` / `competitor` / `partner` / `third_party`). Companion to [POST /api/v1/source-pages](/api-reference/sources/list-source-pages), which returns the same data grouped per URL (one row per cited page) instead of per root domain. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /api-reference/openapi.json post /api/v1/sources openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: AthenaHQ API description: >- AthenaHQ API provides programmatic access to manage your websites and prompts for AI-powered content optimization. version: 1.0.0 contact: email: support@athenahq.ai servers: - url: https://api.athenahq.ai description: Production server security: - apiKey: [] tags: - name: Basics description: Core API operations for managing websites and prompts - name: Metrics description: Metrics and analytics endpoints for tracking AI visibility - name: Billing description: Billing and credits endpoints for managing usage - name: Team Management description: Endpoints for managing team members and invitations - name: Groups description: Endpoints for managing groups of websites - name: Content description: >- Endpoints for accessing Content Hub data — tabs, tracked URLs, and per-URL prompt breakdowns. - name: Pitch Workspace description: >- Endpoints for accessing pitch workspace reports — org-scoped pitch runs with competitors, prompts, attributes, and aggregate metrics. - name: Knowledge Base description: >- Endpoints for reading the brand Knowledge Base — approved brand facts and the pillars that organize them. paths: /api/v1/sources: post: tags: - Sources summary: List Sources (by root domain) description: >- Returns the top cited sources for a website, grouped by root domain.
