Digital Ocean Snapshots API is one of 37 APIs that [Digital Ocean](https://apis.io/providers/digital-ocean/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include Snapshots. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification and API documentation.

[Snapshots](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/snapshots/) are saved instances of a Droplet or a block storage volume, which is reflected in the `resource_type` attribute. In order to avoid problems with compressing filesystems, each defines a `min_disk_size` attribute which is the minimum size of the Droplet or volume disk when creating a new resource from the saved snapshot. To interact with snapshots, you will generally send requests to the snapshots endpoint at `/v2/snapshots`.
