# Get the SSH connection target for a computer asset

GET https://api.athenaintel.com/api/v0/computer/{asset_id}/ssh-access

Return the SSH gateway host, port, username, and ready-made command for connecting to a computer with a registered SSH public key (see `add_ssh_key`). The username is the computer's asset id; the gateway authorizes the connection against your current edit permission on the computer and starts it if it is stopped. Unlike `create_ssh_access`, this mints nothing and never wakes the computer. `key_auth_enabled` is false where the environment's gateway accepts tokens only. Returns 409 when the computer's provider does not support SSH.

Reference: https://docs.athenaintel.com/api-reference/computer/get-ssh-access

## Authentication

- `X-API-KEY` header (required) — API Key authentication via header

## Request

### Path parameters

- `asset_id` (string, required)

## Response

### 200

Successful Response

- `command` (string, required) — Ready-to-run `ssh [-p <port>] <asset_id>@<host>`.
- `host` (string, required) — SSH gateway hostname for this environment.
- `key_auth_enabled` (boolean, required) — Whether this environment's SSH gateway accepts registered-key logins. When false, `command` is refused at the gateway; connect with a temporary token from `create_ssh_access` instead.
- `port` (integer, required) — SSH gateway port.
- `token_expiry_minutes_options` (list of integer, required) — Lifetimes, in minutes, this environment offers for a temporary token from `create_ssh_access`, ascending. The first is the default when none is requested; a request above the last is refused.
- `username` (string, required) — The SSH username — the computer's asset id, which selects identity (registered-key) authentication at the gateway.

## Errors

### 401 Unauthorized Error

Unauthorized

- `message` (string, required)

### 404 Not Found Error

Not Found

- `message` (string, required)

### 409 Conflict Error

Conflict

- `map from string to any`

### 422 Unprocessable Entity Error

Validation Error

- `detail` (list of ValidationError, optional)

## Types

### ValidationError

- `loc` (list of ValidationErrorLocItems, required)
- `msg` (string, required)
- `type` (string, required)
- `ctx` (ValidationErrorCtx, optional)
- `input` (any, optional)
