# Read a deal (`mergers_get`)

One deal by its id, as mergers_search returns it, with its source and license.

One deal by the id mergers_search gave it: its parties and roles, dates, status, the value where a filing states one with the sentence quoted, and its source with the license.

Price: $0.01 a call. A call that fails costs nothing.

## Use it when

To read again a deal a search returned, from its id.

- For deals matching a company or words, use [mergers_search](https://conecto.chat/tools/mergers/mergers_search.md).

## Say this to your agent

> Show me the Ali Group and Welbilt case again, with its source.
