# Get Expert Computer

`GET /api/experts/{expert_id}/computer`

The expert's own computer: its box as E2B lists it, and whether its
screen is on. E2B knows nothing about the screen; that flag is ours,
kept beside the box id, because asking the box would wake it.

Listing never wakes a paused box, so the Computer tab can refresh freely.

## Path parameters

- `expert_id` string, required

## Response `200`
