```

## Authentication

## Path parameters

<ParamField path="id" type="string" required>
  The web source ID.
</ParamField>

## Response

<ResponseField name="success" type="boolean" />

<ResponseField name="webSource" type="object">
  The web source with updated status (set to `scraping`).
</ResponseField>

</ResponseField>

## Example

```bash theme={null}
curl -X POST https://api.mind-e.co/web-sources/ws-id-here/train \

  Training is asynchronous. The web source status progresses through `scraping` → `chunking` → `completed`. Check the web source status using [Get Web Source](/api-reference/web-sources/get).
