Function¶
This API is used to query the EVS snapshots.
URI¶
URI format
GET /v3/{project_id}/snapshots
Parameter description
Parameter
Mandatory
Description
project_id
Yes
Specifies the project ID.
For details about how to obtain the project ID, see Obtaining a Project ID.
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 /v3/xxx/snapshots?limit=50: Queries the 1-50 snapshots. GET /v3/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.
sort_dir
String
No
Specifies the result sorting order. The default value is desc.
desc: indicates the descending order.
asc: indicates the ascending order.
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.
name~
String
No
Specifies the fuzzy search by disk name. This parameter is supported when the request version is 3.31 or later.

volume_id~
String
No
Specifies the fuzzy search by the ID of the disk that corresponds to the snapshot. This parameter is supported when the request version is 3.31 or later.
sort_key

No
Specifies the sorting query by name (sort_key=name). This parameter is supported when the request version is 3.30 or later. The default sorting order is the descending order.
with_count
Boolean
No
Specifies to return parameter counts in the response. This parameter indicates the number of snapshots queried. This parameter is in the with_count=true format and is supported when the request version is 3.45 or later.
This parameter can be used together with parameters marker, limit, sort_key, sort_dir, or offset in the table. It cannot be used with other filter parameters.
