Data sources & the licence ledger

Every source StatCite serves — and every source it evaluated and refused — with the licence verdict, the basis for it, and the date it was last checked against the source's own terms. A source enters the indicator registry only after its ledger entry exists with a "served" verdict. This page renders live from /v1/sources, so it cannot drift from what the API actually reports.

How to read the verdicts

served StatCite serves this source's data under the stated licence, and every response carries the required attribution.  flow_through an aggregator — each served series inherits its underlying provider's licence, and the citation names that provider.  refused evaluated and deliberately not served; the entry says exactly why. Declining a source for licensing reasons is product information, not an internal detail.

Licence positions are re-verified when sources are added or terms change; each entry carries its own verified-on date. If you believe a verdict is wrong, or a refused source's terms have changed, email hello@statcite.com — corrections are welcome and acted on.
