Get All Snapshots

On this page

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.

Base URL: https://cloud.mongodb.com/api/atlas/v1.0

Syntax

copy 
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

The following query parameters are optional:

Name Type Description Default
pageNum integer Page number (1-based). 1
itemsPerPage integer Number of items to return per page, up to a maximum of 500. 100
includeCount boolean Specifies whether the response returns the totalCount field. true
pretty boolean Displays response in a prettyprint format. false
envelope boolean Specifies whether or not to wrap the response in an envelope. 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.
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

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.
