# Notes API **(FREE)**
Notes are comments on:
- Snippets
- Issues
- Merge requests
- Epics **(PREMIUM)**
This includes system notes, which are notes about changes to the object (for example, when an
assignee changes, GitLab posts a system note).
## Resource events
> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/38096) in GitLab 13.3 for state, milestone, and weight events.
> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/40850) in GitLab 13.4 for iteration 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](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](../user/admin_area/settings/rate_limit_on_notes_creation.md).
## Issues
