Function

This API is used to query the information of the original instance based on a specific point of time or a backup file. Before calling this API:

Learn how to authenticate this API.
Obtain the required region and endpoint.

Constraints

The restore_time and backup_id parameters cannot be both left blank.

If backup_id is not left blank, the query is performed based on backup_id.
If backup_id is left blank, the query is performed based on restore_time.
If restore_time and backup_id are both specified, the query is performed based on backup_id.

URI

GET https://{Endpoint}/v3/{project_id}/instance-snapshot?instance_id={instance_id}&restore_time={restore_time}&backup_id={backup_id}
