# Extracts Extracts represent the variables that can be extracted from a particular source or task. The extract is defined as the following: ```graphql extracts: [ { name: string, from: string } ] ``` Every source and task has a different set of extracts. Some, like the cronJobTriggered source, have only one Extract (`Timestamp`, which is provided for each source and task). Others, like the `Make HTTP Request` task, can extract arbitrary information from the body that was returned by an HTTP response. For a complete list of each sources/tasks extracts, view the page for the particular source/task. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.midpointapi.com/midpoint-documentation/core-concepts/midpoints/source-and-task-definitions/extracts.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
