Restore One Snapshot of One Cluster
Restores one snapshot of one cluster from the specified project. Atlas takes on-demand snapshots immediately and scheduled snapshots at regular intervals. If an on-demand snapshot with a status of queued or inProgress exists, before taking another snapshot, wait until Atlas completes completes processing the previously taken on-demand snapshot.
To use this resource, the requesting API Key must have the Project Owner role.
Path parameters
-
Unique 24-hexadecimal digit string that identifies your project. Use the /groups endpoint to retrieve all projects to which the authenticated user has access.
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.
Minimum length is
24
, maximum length is24
. Format should match the following pattern:^([a-f0-9]{24})$
. -
Human-readable label that identifies the cluster.
Minimum length is
1
, maximum length is64
. Format should match the following pattern:^[a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9-]*$
.
Query parameters
-
Flag that indicates whether Application wraps the response in an
envelope
JSON object. Some API clients cannot access the HTTP response headers or status code. To remediate this, set envelope=true in the query. Endpoints that return a list of results use the results object as an envelope. Application adds the status parameter to the response body.Default value is
false
. -
Flag that indicates whether the response body should be in the prettyprint format.
Default value is
false
.
Body
Required
Restores one snapshot of one cluster from the specified project.
-
Human-readable label that categorizes the restore job to create.
Values are
automated
,download

. -
Oplog operation number from which you want to restore this snapshot. This number represents the second part of an Oplog timestamp. The resource returns this parameter when
"deliveryType" : "pointInTime"
and oplogTs exceeds0
.Minimum value is
1
. -
Date and time from which you want to restore this snapshot. This parameter expresses this timestamp in the number of seconds that have elapsed since the UNIX epoch. This number represents the first part of an Oplog timestamp. The resource returns this parameter when
