# Price extraction

> Discover price column structure and extract underlying source data with filtering, sorting, pagination, and cache-backed snapshots.

## Overview

The Price Extraction endpoints let you discover how price columns are structured and read the underlying source data that drives prices in the system. Together they provide a controlled way to extract price data with support for filtering, sorting, pagination, and cache-backed snapshots that guarantee consistent results across pages.

**Required permission:** `Get Prices Data From API - Price Columns (api-prices-extraction)`

## Endpoints

| Method | Endpoint                             | Description                                             |
| ------ | ------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------- |
| `GET`  | `{api_url}/api/prices`               | List all price columns and their source table metadata. |
| `POST` | `{api_url}/api/prices/{priceColumn}` | Read records from a price column's source table.        |

## Typical workflow

1. Call **GET** `/api/prices` to discover available price columns, source tables, and filterable fields.
2. Call **POST** `/api/prices/{priceColumn}` with filters, field selection, and sorting to extract data.
3. For large datasets, use **cache-backed pagination** to page through a stable snapshot without missing or duplicating rows.
4. Optionally, configure a **webhook with cache enabled** to receive a `cacheKey` automatically when the source changes. See [Webhook cache snapshot](/api-reference/webhooks/webhook-cache).
