List snapshots

GET /api/v1/servers/{vmid}/snapshots

operationIdgetSnapshots

Required level
Read only
Rate limit
read, 3,600 calls per hour

Your snapshots, from newest to oldest. The list is not paginated: meta reflects the number returned.

with_memory indicates a snapshot taken while the machine was running: it includes the RAM, and restoring it brings the machine back up in the exact state it was in.

LWS takes its own snapshots for its internal backups: they are not listed, do not count toward your limit, and cannot be restored or deleted through the API.

Path parameters

vmid string required

Identifier of the VPS. It must belong to the account and be within the key's scope.
