Get Snapshot Collections By Criteria
Base URL
To retrieve all snapshots, use a URL in the form:
http://app-server:port/presto/edge/api/rest/snapshots
In most cases, you should add
Parameters to filter the response to a specific set of snapshots. You can also use these parameters to sort the snapshot references in the response See
Snapshot Collection Query Examples for some common combinations.
The response when you find a collection of snapshots contains a link with the URL to retrieve each matching snapshot. See
Snapshot Collection Responses for an example.
Parameters
You can add any combination of the following parameters to queries for snapshot collections except that you must specify service if you specify operation.
Parameter | Req? | Description |
name | | A full or partial snapshot name. Snapshots whose name begins with this value are included. |
tag | | A tag to match. |
service | | The name of the mashable or mashup that this snapshot was generated from. You can use this parameter by itself or in conjunction with the operation parameter. The name is case sensitive. You can also use partial artifact names. This matches artifacts whose name begins with the value you specify. |
operation | | The operation for the mashable or mashup that this snapshot was generated from. You must use this parameter in conjunction with the service parameter. |
createdby | | The name of the user who generated this snapshot. |
fromdate | | The first scheduled execution date to include in the form: YYYY-MM-DD |
todate | | The first scheduled dateto exclude in the form: YYYY-MM-DD |

sortdir | | The sort order to use, if you use the sortby parameters. This can be ascending (default) or descending. |

Snapshot Collection Responses
Snapshot collections contain metadata for matching snapshots but no snapshot data. This metadata includes the snapshot ID as well as the full URL (in content/@href) that you can use to retrieve individual snapshots.
