Get All Snapshots¶

Important

Legacy Backup Deprecated

MongoDB deprecated the Legacy Backup feature. Clusters that use Legacy Backup can continue to use it. MongoDB recommends using Cloud Backups. Effective 23 March 2020, all new clusters can only use Cloud Backups.

Note

Groups and projects are synonymous terms. Your {GROUP-ID} is the same as your project ID. For existing groups, your group/project ID remains the same. The resource and corresponding endpoints use the term groups.

The Atlas API authenticates using HTTP Digest Authentication. Provide a programmatic API public key and corresponding private key as the username and password when constructing the HTTP request.

To learn how to configure API access for an Atlas project, see Configure Atlas API Access.

Syntax¶

GET /groups/{GROUP-ID}/clusters/{CLUSTER-NAME}/snapshots

Request Parameters¶

Request Path Parameters¶

Path Element	Necessity	Description
`GROUP-ID`	Required.	The unique identifier of the project that owns the snapshots.
`CLUSTER-NAME`	Required	The name of the cluster that contains the snapshots that you want to retrieve.

Request Query Parameters¶

This endpoint may use any of the HTTP request query parameters available to all Atlas API resources. These are all optional.

Name	Type	Necessity	Description	Default
pageNum	integer	Optional	Page number, starting with one, that Atlas returns of the total number of objects.	`1`
itemsPerPage	integer	Optional	Number of items that Atlas returns per page, up to a maximum of 500.	`100`
includeCount	boolean	Optional	Flag that indicates whether Atlas returns the totalCount parameter in the response body.	`true`
pretty	boolean	Optional	Flag that indicates whether Atlas returns the JSON response in the prettyprint format.	`false`
envelope	boolean	Optional	Flag that indicates whether Atlas wraps the response in an envelope. Some API clients cannot access the HTTP response headers or status code. To remediate this, set `envelope=true` in the query. Endpoints that return a list of results use the results object as an envelope. Atlas adds the status parameter to the response body.	`false`

Request Body Parameters¶

This endpoint does not use HTTP request body parameters.

Response Elements¶

The HTTP response returns a JSON document that includes the following elements:

`results` Array¶

Name	Type	Description
`clusterId`	string	The unique ID of the cluster that the snapshot represents.
`complete`	boolean	Indicates whether the snapshot exists. This is `false` if the snapshot creation job is in progress.
`created`	Document	The components of a timestamp.
`created.date`	timestamp	The exact point in time when the snapshot was taken in ISO 8601 date and time format in UTC.
`created.increment`	integer	The operation order in which this snapshot took place at this exact point in time. To learn how timestamps work in MongoDB, see timestamp.
`doNotDelete`	boolean	Specifies whether the snapshot can be deleted.
`expires`	timestamp	The date in ISO 8601 date and time format in UTC after which Atlas deletes the snapshot. If `doNotDelete` is set to `true`, any value in `expires` is removed. If the `expires` value is earlier than the current date and time, the snaphot cannot be edited.
`groupId`	objectId	ID of the project that owns the snapshot.
`id`	objectId	ID of the snapshot.
`lastOplogAppliedTimestamp`	document	The components of the timestamp of the last oplog entry was applied.
`lastOplogAppliedTimestamp.date`	timestamp	The exact point in time when the last oplog was applied in ISO 8601 date and time format in UTC.
`lastOplogAppliedTimestamp.increment`	integer	The operation order in which the last oplog was applied at this exact point in time. To learn how timestamps work in MongoDB, see timestamp.
`links`	document array	One or more links to sub-resources and/or related resources. The relations between URLs are explained in the Web Linking Specification.
`parts`	document array	The individual parts that comprise the complete snapshot. For a replica set, this array contains a single document. For a sharded cluster, this array contains one document for each shard plus one document for the config server.
`parts.clusterId`	objectId	ID of the replica set.
`parts.compressionSetting`	string	Method of compression for the snapshot.
`parts.dataSizeBytes`	number	The total size of the data in the snapshot in bytes.
`parts.encryptionEnabled`	boolean	Indicates whether the snapshot is encrypted.
`parts.fileSizeBytes`	number	The total size of the data files in bytes.
`parts.masterKeyUUID`	objectId	The KMIP master key ID used to encrypt the snapshot data. Note This appears only if parts.encryptionEnabled is true.
`parts.mongodVersion`	string	The version of MongoDB that the replica set primary was running when the snapshot was created.
`parts.replicaSetName`	string	Name of the replica set.
`parts.storageSizeBytes`	number	The total size of space allocated for document storage.
`parts.typeName`	string	The type of server that the part represents: `REPLICA_SET` `CONFIG_SERVER_REPLICA_SET`

`links` Array¶

The links array includes one or more links to sub-resources and/or related resources. The relations between URLs are explained in the Web Linking Specification.

Relation	Description
`self`	The URL endpoint for this resource.

`totalCount` Document¶

This value is the count of the total number of items in the result set. totalCount may be greater than the number of objects in the results array if the entire result set is paginated.
