To restore a snapshot using the API, find the snapshot ID for the snapshot you want to restore, then

Prerequisites

You must have API access. To learn how to get access, see Configure Public API Access.

To find and download the snapshot, your API Key needs read access to snapshots in the desired Project. Grant the API Key the Project Read Only role on the Project that relates to that snapshot.

Procedure

Retrieve the snapshot ID.

Call the Get All Snapshots resource to find the ID for the desired snapshot. Issue the following command, replacing:

Name Type Description
PUBLIC-KEY string Your public API Key for your API credentials.
PRIVATE-KEY string Your private API Key for your API credentials.
<OpsManagerHost>:<Port> string URL of your Ops Manager instance.
GROUP-ID string Unique identifier of your Project from your Project Settings.
CLUSTER-ID string Unique identifier of your cluster.

Create a restore job for the snapshot.

Call the Get One Restore Job resource to request a snapshot restore.
