# Get comment settings

> The owner, anyone the computer is shared with and, when the computer is public, any signed-in person (a person's own sign-in, not an organization API key or the computer's runtime token). Reports whether notes are on for the computer. They are off until the owner switches them on.

  title: Cool Computers API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >-
    Create and operate reachable Linux computers. Each computer keeps a stable
    name.cool.computer address, persistent files, and agent-ready command
    execution. REST requests use UTC-aligned one-minute limits: 600 requests per
    account identified by a recognized valid account bearer credential, a
    separate 600-request budget per computer-scoped credential, or 60 requests
    per source IP otherwise. Read-only GETs answered from API state spend a
    separate read budget reported as account-read or computer-read, so status
    polling cannot exhaust the budget that protects work and mutations. To bound
    authentication-provider traffic, at most 60 first-seen bearer values are
    checked per source IP in a minute; recognized valid credentials use their
    account or computer policy. Successful bearer authentication is reused for
    at most five seconds; transient provider failures are not cached. Revoking a
    credential through this API (POST /api/auth/logout or DELETE
    /api/api-keys/{id}) drops that reuse in every serving process, so the
    revoked credential is refused from the next request on; only if that
    announcement fails does another process keep admitting it, for at most five
    seconds. JSON request bodies must be sent with Content-Type:
    application/json; any other body answers 415 unsupported_media_type. Every
    error is an application/problem+json object whose type links to
    https://cool.computer/docs/api-reference/errors; a malformed body names the
    unknown field, the wrong type, or the byte where the JSON breaks. Non-exempt
    API responses include the structured RateLimit and RateLimit-Policy fields;
    request admission 429 responses use code api_request_rate_exceeded and also
    include Retry-After. Health, OpenAPI, webhooks, callbacks, SSE, and
    WebSocket endpoints are exempt from the REST request budget. Authenticated
    SSE connection attempts remain subject to the authentication safeguards and
    can receive the same typed 429 response.
