# GET /api/ee/dependencies/graph/unreferenced

`GET /api/ee/dependencies/graph/unreferenced`

Returns a list of all unreferenced items in the instance.
   An unreferenced item is one that is not a dependency of any other item.

   Accepts optional parameters for filtering:
   - `types`: List of entity types to include (e.g., [:card :transform :snippet :dashboard])
   - `card-types`: List of card types to include when filtering cards (e.g., [:question :model :metric])
   - `query`: Search string to filter by name or location
   - `archived`: Controls whether archived entities are included
   - `include-personal-collections`: Controls whether items in personal collections are included (default: false)
   - `sort-column`: Sort column - `:name`, `:location`, `:dependents-errors`, or `:dependents-with-errors` (default: `:name`)
   - `sort-direction`: Sort direction - `:asc` or `:desc` (default: `:asc`)
   - `offset`: Default 0
   - `limit`: Default 50

   Returns a map with:
   - `data`: List of unreferenced items, each with `:id`, `:type`, and `:data` fields
   - `total`: Total count of matched items
   - `offset`: Applied offset
   - `limit`: Applied limit
