{{< details >}}

- Tier: Free, Premium, Ultimate
- Offering: GitLab.com, GitLab Self-Managed, GitLab Dedicated

{{< /details >}}

The Notes API manages comments and system records attached to GitLab content.
The Notes API:

- Creates and modifies comments on issues, merge requests, epics, snippets, and commits.
- Retrieves [system-generated notes](../user/project/system_notes.md) about object changes.
- Provides options for sorting and pagination.
- Controls visibility through confidential and internal flags.
- Supports rate limiting to prevent abuse.

Some system-generated notes are tracked as separate resource events:

- [Resource label events](resource_label_events.md)
- [Resource state events](resource_state_events.md)
- [Resource milestone events](resource_milestone_events.md)
- [Resource weight events](resource_weight_events.md)
- [Resource iteration events](resource_iteration_events.md)

By default, `GET` requests return 20 results at a time, because the API results are paginated.
For more information, see [Pagination](rest/_index.md#pagination).

## Resource events

Some system notes are not part of this API, but are recorded as separate events:

- [Resource label events](resource_label_events.md)
- [Resource state events](resource_state_events.md)
- [Resource milestone events](resource_milestone_events.md)
- [Resource weight events](resource_weight_events.md)
- [Resource iteration events](resource_iteration_events.md)

## Notes pagination

By default, `GET` requests return 20 results at a time because the API results
are paginated.

Read more on [pagination](rest/_index.md#pagination).

## Rate limits

To help avoid abuse, you can limit your users to a specific number of `Create` request per minute.
See [Notes rate limits](../administration/settings/rate_limit_on_notes_creation.md).

## Epics

{{< details >}}

- Tier: Premium, Ultimate
- Offering: GitLab.com, GitLab Self-Managed, GitLab Dedicated

{{< /details >}}

{{< alert type="warning" >}}

The Epics REST API was [deprecated](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/460668) in GitLab 17.0
and is planned for removal in v5 of the API.
From GitLab 17.4 to 18.0, if [the new look for epics](../user/group/epics/_index.md#epics-as-work-items) is enabled, and in GitLab 18.1 and later, use the
Work Items API instead. For more information, see [migrate epic APIs to work items](graphql/epic_work_items_api_migration_guide.md).
This change is a breaking change.

{{< /alert >}}

### List all epic notes

Gets a list of all notes for a single epic. Epic notes are comments users can post to an epic.

{{< alert type="note" >}}

The epics notes API uses the epic ID instead of epic IID. If you use the epic's IID, GitLab returns either a 404
error or notes for the wrong epic. It's different from the [issue notes API](#issues) and
[merge requests notes API](#merge-requests).

{{< /alert >}}

GET /groups/:id/epics/:epic_id/notes
GET /groups/:id/epics/:epic_id/notes?sort=asc&order_by=updated_at
