==== Get Model Snapshots

The get model snapshots API enables you to retrieve information about model snapshots.

===== Request

`GET _xpack/ml/anomaly_detectors/<job_id>/model_snapshots` +

`GET _xpack/ml/anomaly_detectors/<job_id>/model_snapshots/<snapshot_id>`
////
===== Description

////
===== Path Parameters

`job_id`::
  (+string+) Identifier for the job.

`snapshot_id`::
  (+string+) Identifier for the model snapshot. If you do not specify this optional parameter,
  the API returns information about all model snapshots that you have authority to view.

===== Request Body

`desc`::
  (+boolean+) If true, the results are sorted in descending order.

`description`::
  (+string+) Returns snapshots that match this description.
//TBD: I couldn't get this to work. What description value is it using?
NOTE: It might be necessary to URL encode the description.

`end`::
  (+date+) Returns snapshots with timestamps earlier than this time.

`from`::
  (+integer+) Skips the specified number of snapshots.

`size`::
  (+integer+) Specifies the maximum number of snapshots to obtain.

`sort`::
  (+string+) Specifies the sort field for the requested snapshots.
//By default, the snapshots are sorted by the xxx value.

`start`::
  (+string+) Returns snapshots with timestamps after this time.

===== Results

The API returns the following information:

`model_snapshots`::
  (+array+) An array of model snapshot objects. For more information, see
  <<ml-snapshot-resource,Model Snapshots>>.

===== Responses

200
(EmptyResponse) The cluster has been successfully deleted
404
(BasicFailedReply) The cluster specified by {cluster_id} cannot be found (code: clusters.cluster_not_found)
412
(BasicFailedReply) The Elasticsearch cluster has not been shutdown yet (code: clusters.cluster_plan_state_error)
////

===== Examples

The following example gets model snapshot information for the
`it_ops_new_logs` job:

[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
GET _xpack/ml/anomaly_detectors/farequote/model_snapshots
{
  "start": "1491852977000"
}
--------------------------------------------------
// CONSOLE
// TEST[skip:todo]

In this example, the API provides a single result:
