# Quote Spot bids

> Previews what identical bids placed now would fill at, one after another, without placing anything. Each fill shows the price you would pay and when spot on its node is next scheduled to end. Your own organization's asks are skipped. The book can move before you bid; the quote is not a reservation of capacity.

A quote places nothing. Read it immediately before [placing bids](/api-reference/spot/place-bid) to check the price and the estimated interruption time.

info:
  title: Ornn compute API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >-
    Customer HTTP API for Ornn GPU capacity. It covers reserved capacity and
    nodes, VM and Bare Metal access, Kubernetes and Slurm clusters, SSH keys,
    storage volumes and GitHub repositories, private networks, monitoring,
    buying and selling capacity (Reserve, Market, Spot, and Relist), and
    billing. API keys are scoped to one organization and act with their
    creator's access there; account, team, and API-key management stay in the
    console. Most operations require an approved organization. See
    https://docs.ornn.com/api-keys to create a key and
    https://docs.ornn.com/guides/kubernetes-api for an end-to-end Kubernetes
    integration. Examples use fictional IDs and credentials. The info.version
    field identifies the contract revision, not a shared API path version.

    description: >-
      Register public keys for your organization, choose which keys a VM or Bare
      Metal reservation uses, and queue key delivery to machines. Slurm clusters
      take organization key IDs at launch. Kubernetes API access does not use
      SSH keys.

    description: >-
      Sell whole nodes from a reservation you hold at your asking price, and
      manage those listings.
  - name: Storage
    description: >-
      Managed volumes, their files, and GitHub repository pulls. Volumes belong
