Get a List of Sources biconnector.source.list
Choose a tool for developing with an AI agent:
- use Alaio Vibecode to build an app for Bitrix24 from a task description without knowing any programming language. The agent writes the code and deploys the app to a server, with no manual hosting setup
- use the MCP server to develop a REST API integration in your own project. The agent refers to the official REST documentation
Scope:
biconnectorWho can execute the method: A user who has both the "Access to BI Builder" and "Access to Analytics Hub" permissions
The biconnector.source.list method returns a list of sources by filter.
The method works only in the context of an application and returns only the sources that the application created itself. When called via a webhook, the method returns the ACCESS_DENIED error
The result page size is 50 records. The method returns neither the total number of sources nor a link to the next page, so list traversal is built on the page number: the selection has ended when fewer than 50 records arrive in the response.
Method Parameters
All parameters are optional: the method can be called with an empty request body.

Without this parameter, no sorting is applied and the order of records in the selection is not guaranteed. The direction value is case-insensitive, but the field accepts no other values. An empty string, a number, or any word other than Sorting, like the filter, does not work by the |

Error Handling
HTTP status: 200
{
"result": {
"error": {
"error": "VALIDATION_SELECT_TYPE",
"error_description": "Parameter \"select\" must be array."
}
}
}
The method returns an error inside the result field and with HTTP status 200. Check result.error: the SDK wrappers parse only the top level of the response and treat such an error as a success
One error of the method arrives differently. If the order parameter receives a sorting direction other than ASC and DESC, the request breaks off at the ORM level: the response gets HTTP status 400, and the error code is in the root rather than inside result.
{
"error": "ERROR_ARGUMENT",
"error_description": "Invalid order \"UPWARDS\""
}

String error code. It consists of digits, Latin letters, and underscores. It may arrive empty — in that case only |

Statuses and System Error Codes
HTTP Status: 4xx, 5xx
The errors described below are returned by the REST API itself, not by the logic of a specific method. They can arrive in response to any method.
|
Status |
Code |
Description |
|
|
|
An internal server error has occurred. Retry the call, and if the error persists, contact the server administrator or Bitrix24 technical support |
|
|
|
The server returned an unexpected response. Retry the call, and if the error persists, contact the server administrator or Bitrix24 technical support |
|
|
|
The request intensity limit has been exceeded |
|
|
|
The method is blocked because the request resource intensity limit has been exceeded. The block is lifted automatically once the accumulated execution time of the method no longer exceeds the limit |
|
|
|
The request contains no authorization data: neither an access token nor a webhook code was passed |
|
|
|
Methods are called over the HTTPS protocol only |
|
|
|
The REST API is blocked due to overload. This is a manual individual block. To have it lifted, contact Bitrix24 technical support |
|
|
|
REST API access is not active for this account. In Bitrix24 Cloud, check the current plan or trial status: Vibe+ plans include REST API access, while Essentials plans do not. A webhook receives a different error message — |
|
|
|
No active webhook with the specified user identifier and secret code was found |
|
|
|
No method with this name was found. The name is misspelled, the method does not exist in the REST API, or it is unavailable without the required scope |
|
|
|
The request requires broader permissions than the token has: for a webhook these are the permissions granted to it, for an application it is the scope. For an application, the error message ends with |
|
|
|
The access token has expired |
|
|
|
The application is installed, but the Bitrix24 administrator has granted access to it only to specific users |
