Just wanted to leave a note that it looks like this was removed for custom request handlers as part of migration efforts in our visualization infrastructure, but I don't believe we did this intentionally (in short: it's a bug). There has been a lot of churn in our visualizations which I explain in more detail in [Request/Response handlers in visualizations](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/request-response-handlers-in-visualizations/221727/2) and the corresponding Github issue. At the moment I believe this would affect any plugins in 7.5-7.7 registering visualizations which are also using a custom requestHandler that needs access to aggs. I'm working to get this re-added soon... Here's the Github issue if you'd like to follow along: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/67916](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/67916) --- _[View the full topic](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/how-to-access-aggregations-from-within-custom-request-handler/226445)._
