# Minimized public source metadata

`GET /api/v1/sources/status`

Return only public catalog metadata and a coarse data date/freshness. Its ETag is bound to the shared asv1 stats generation and uses 60-second must-revalidate caching. This endpoint is not an operator health probe and does not expose connector status, errors, schedules, source URLs or item counts.

## Headers

- `If-None-Match` string

## Other responses

- `304` — The minimized source-status representation and shared stats generation have not changed
