# Award Emoji API
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/merge_requests/4575) in GitLab 8.9. Snippet support added in 8.12.
An [awarded emoji](../user/award_emojis.md) tells a thousand words.
Emoji can be awarded on the following (known as "awardables"):
- [Issues](../user/project/issues/index.md) ([API](issues.md)).
- [Merge requests](../user/project/merge_requests/index.md) ([API](merge_requests.md)).
- [Snippets](../user/snippets.md) ([API](snippets.md)).
Emoji can also [be awarded](../user/award_emojis.html#award-emoji-for-comments) on comments (also known as notes). See also [Notes API](notes.md).
## Issues, merge requests, and snippets
See [Award Emoji on Comments](#award-emoji-on-comments) for information on using these endpoints with comments.

## Award Emoji on Comments
Comments (also known as notes) are a sub-resource of issues, merge requests, and snippets.
NOTE: **Note:**
The examples below describe working with award emoji on comments for an issue, but can be
easily adapted for comments on a merge request or on a snippet. Therefore, you have to replace
`issue_iid` either with `merge_request_iid` or with the `snippet_id`.
