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}/information-requests/{requestId}/comments`, which supports `changedSinceDate` and returns soft-deleted comments for delta sync. Comments remain fetchable when the parent information request has been soft-deleted, so delayed webhook consumers can still resolve a comment ID after the request is deleted. Rate limit: 50 requests / minute. ## OpenAPI ````yaml https://spec.speakeasy.com/vanta/vanta/conduct-an-audit-with-code-samples get /audits/{auditId}/information-requests/{requestId}/comments/{commentId} openapi: 3.0.0 info: title: Conduct an audit version: 1.0.0 description: >- The Auditor API lets audit firms conduct audits from a tool outside of Vanta.
