# get_visual

> Get research visual

**Get research visual** · \$0.02 per call (x402, USDC)

Retrieves saved research charts and tables for one investment case or context assessment. Without visual\_id, returns available visual and region descriptors; with visual\_id, returns the selected visual's regions. Supply region\_id for available structured chart/table data, with bounded row pagination. Results preserve citations, recorded coverage, historical cutoffs and text-access restrictions.
