Get an audit evidence comment by ID
Retrieves a single comment on a classic audit evidence item by its ID.
Soft-deleted comments (where deletionDate !== null) are included in the
response. Clients should check deletionDate to determine whether the
comment has been deleted. This matches
GET /audits/{auditId}/comments, which supports changedSinceDate and
returns soft-deleted comments for delta sync.
Comments remain fetchable when the parent evidence item has been soft-deleted, so delayed webhook consumers can still resolve a comment ID after evidence deletion.
Rate limit: 50 requests / minute.
Authorizations
Bearer authentication header of the form Bearer <token>, where <token> is your auth token.
Response
Ok
The unique identifier for the comment
The unique identifier for the audit evidence related to the comment.
The comment message
When the comment was created
When the comment was updated
When the comment was deleted
The email of the comment author. This acts as a unique identifier to map users between Vanta and external systems.
Human-readable display name of the comment author. Null if the author's name is not available (e.g., user was deleted). This enables correct author attribution in integrations where users cannot be reliably matched across systems by email alone.
