# List column lineage

> Lists column-to-column lineage edges, one record per edge (mirroring the asset-lineage shape). Full scan by default; the `synced_since` / `deleted_since` feeds filter on the downstream column's timestamps.



## OpenAPI

````yaml api-reference/beta/openapi.json get /public/beta/{env_id}/column-lineage
openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  description: >
    The Elementary Public API is a REST interface for programmatically reading

    Elementary's assets, columns, and lineage for one environment.


    **Authentication.** Send a bearer token (personal or account token) in the

    `Authorization` header. The token resolves to an account; results are scoped
    to

    the environments that token may view.


    **Environment scope.** Every resource lives under `/{env_id}`. Call

    `GET /environments` first to discover the ids you can access.


    **Pagination.** List endpoints are keyset-paginated: pass `limit` (default
    500,

    max 2000) and follow `next_cursor` until `has_more` is `false`. Cursors are
    opaque

    and bound to the filters that produced them — reusing a cursor with
    different

    filters returns `400`.


    **Incremental sync.** Every dataset supports a full scan (default). Assets
    and

    columns also expose two incremental feeds: `synced_since` (upserts) and

    `deleted_since` (soft-delete tombstones).


    **Rate limiting.** Requests are rate-limited per account; responses carry

    `RateLimit-*` headers and `429` responses include `Retry-After`.


    _Beta: the shape may change while we co-design with early adopters._
