URI

  • URI format

    GET /v2/{project_id}/snapshots

  • Parameter description

    Parameter

    Mandatory

    Description

    project_id

    Yes

  • Request filter parameters

    Parameter

    Type

    Mandatory

    Description

    marker

    String

    No

    The ID of the resource from which the pagination query starts. It is the ID of the last resource on the previous page.

    offset

    Integer

    No

    Specifies the offset.

    Note

    This parameter is used when snapshots are queried by page and is used together with the limit parameter. For example, there are a total of 30 snapshots. If you set offset to 11 and limit to 10, the queried snapshot starts from the twelfth snapshot, and at most 10 snapshots can be queried at a time.

    limit

    Integer

    No

    Specifies the maximum number of query results that can be returned.

    The value ranges from 1 to 1000, and the default value is 1000. The returned value cannot exceed this limit.

    If the tenant has more than 50 snapshots in total, you are advised to use this parameter and set its value to 50 to improve the query efficiency. Examples are provided as follows:

    GET /v2/xxx/snapshots?limit=50: Queries the 1-50 snapshots. GET /v2/xxx/snapshots?offset=50&limit=50: Queries the 51-100 snapshots.

    name

    String

    No

    Specifies the snapshot name. This parameter does not support fuzzy search. The value can contain a maximum of 255 bytes.

    status

    String

    No

    Specifies the snapshot status. For details, see EVS Snapshot Status.

    volume_id

    String

    No

    Specifies the ID of the snapshot's source disk.
