# List research snippet types

GET https://api.aventure.vc/v1/entities/research/snippets/types

Lists the recognized research snippet types. A textType in this list is validated against its length and paragraph rules on write and defaults to visible; a textType not in this list is still saved but defaults to visible=false (hidden from default reads). The per-row visible flag overrides the default either way. The curated and analysisRenderable flags mark public Analysis-page eligibility, not snippet display.

Reference: https://docs.aventure.vc/api-reference/a-venture-api/entity-research/research-snippet-types

## Authentication

- `X-Client-Secret` header (required) — Client secret for read-only service-to-service access (no writes)

## Response

### 200

OK

- `list of object`
  - `analysisRenderable` (boolean, required) — Whether curated rows of this snippet type can make the public company Analysis page eligible.
  - `curated` (boolean, required) — Whether the type is curated; with analysisRenderable this gates public Analysis-page eligibility. It does not gate snippet display — every type listed here is recognized and defaults to visible, and the row-level visible flag controls display.
  - `defaultVisible` (boolean, required) — Default visible flag when a write omits visible; true for recognized snippet types even when curated=false.
  - `label` (string, required) — Human-readable label.
  - `recognized` (boolean, required) — Whether this textType is recognized by the research contract catalog; true for every row returned by this endpoint.
  - `targetPath` (string, required) — Dotted research section path the snippet attaches to.
  - `typeValue` (string, required) — Canonical snippet type token used on the wire.
  - `minLength` (integer, optional, nullable) — Minimum total text length in characters; null = no minimum.
  - `paragraphShape` (object, optional, nullable) — Per-paragraph shape rule that write requests must satisfy; null = no paragraph rule.
    - `maxChars` (integer, required) — Maximum characters per paragraph (inclusive).
    - `maxSentences` (integer, required) — Maximum sentences per paragraph (inclusive).
    - `minChars` (integer, required) — Minimum characters per paragraph (inclusive).
    - `minParagraphs` (integer, required) — Minimum paragraph count (inclusive).
    - `minSentences` (integer, required) — Minimum sentences per paragraph (inclusive).
    - `maxParagraphs` (integer, optional, nullable) — Maximum paragraph count (inclusive); null means unbounded.
