Methods

The following methods are available for this resource:

Name	Accessible by	Required Params	Optional Params	Description
snapshots_get	select	snapshot_id		To retrieve information about a snapshot, send a GET request to /v2/snapshots/$SNAPSHOT_ID. The response will be a JSON object with a key called snapshot. The value of this will be an snapshot object containing the standard snapshot attributes.
snapshots_list	select		per_page, page, resource_type	To list all of the snapshots available on your account, send a GET request to /v2/snapshots. The response will be a JSON object with a key called snapshots. This will be set to an array of snapshot objects, each of which will contain the standard snapshot attributes. ### Filtering Results by Resource Type It's possible to request filtered results by including certain query parameters. #### List Droplet Snapshots To retrieve only snapshots based on Droplets, include the resource_type query parameter set to droplet. For example, /v2/snapshots?resource_type=droplet. #### List Volume Snapshots To retrieve only snapshots based on volumes, include the resource_type query parameter set to volume. For example, /v2/snapshots?resource_type=volume.
snapshots_delete	delete	snapshot_id		Both Droplet and volume snapshots are managed through the /v2/snapshots/ endpoint. To delete a snapshot, send a DELETE request to /v2/snapshots/$SNAPSHOT_ID. A status of 204 will be given. This indicates that the request was processed successfully, but that no response body is needed.

Parameters

Parameters can be passed in the WHERE clause of a query. Check the Methods section to see which parameters are required or optional for each operation.

Name	Datatype	Description
snapshot_id		Either the ID of an existing snapshot. This will be an integer for a Droplet snapshot or a string for a volume snapshot. (example: 6372321)
page	integer	Which 'page' of paginated results to return. (example: 1)
per_page	integer	Number of items returned per page (example: 2)
resource_type	string	Used to filter snapshots by a resource type. (example: droplet)

SELECT examples

snapshots_get

To retrieve information about a snapshot, send a GET request to
/v2/snapshots/$SNAPSHOT_ID.

The response will be a JSON object with a key called snapshot. The value of
this will be an snapshot object containing the standard snapshot attributes.

SELECT
id,
name,
resource_id,
created_at,
min_disk_size,
regions,
resource_type,
size_gigabytes,
tags
FROM digitalocean.compute.snapshots
WHERE snapshot_id = '{{ snapshot_id }}' -- required;

snapshots_list

To list all of the snapshots available on your account, send a GET request to
/v2/snapshots.

The response will be a JSON object with a key called snapshots. This will be
set to an array of snapshot objects, each of which will contain the standard
snapshot attributes.

### Filtering Results by Resource Type

It's possible to request filtered results by including certain query parameters.

#### List Droplet Snapshots

To retrieve only snapshots based on Droplets, include the resource_type
query parameter set to droplet. For example, /v2/snapshots?resource_type=droplet.

#### List Volume Snapshots

To retrieve only snapshots based on volumes, include the resource_type
query parameter set to volume. For example, /v2/snapshots?resource_type=volume.

SELECT
id,
name,
resource_id,
created_at,
min_disk_size,
regions,
resource_type,
size_gigabytes,
tags
FROM digitalocean.compute.snapshots
WHERE per_page = '{{ per_page }}'
AND page = '{{ page }}'
AND resource_type = '{{ resource_type }}';

DELETE examples

snapshots_delete

Both Droplet and volume snapshots are managed through the /v2/snapshots/
endpoint. To delete a snapshot, send a DELETE request to
/v2/snapshots/$SNAPSHOT_ID.

A status of 204 will be given. This indicates that the request was processed
successfully, but that no response body is needed.

DELETE FROM digitalocean.compute.snapshots
