# Sources

Sources are the starting points of a data element in a data flow. This includes places like user inputs, database queries, or API collections.

A source result consists of the following structure:

```json
{
    "sources": {
        "sourceType": "string",
        "id": "string",
        "name": "string",
        "category": "string",
        "sensitivity": "string",
        "isSensitive": "boolean",
        "tags": [
            {
                "key": "value"
            }
        ]
    }
}
```

The parameters are explained below:
