++++
<titleabbrev>Get model snapshots</titleabbrev>
++++

Retrieves information about model snapshots.

[[ml-get-snapshot-request]]
==== {api-request-title}

`GET _ml/anomaly_detectors/<job_id>/model_snapshots` +

`GET _ml/anomaly_detectors/<job_id>/model_snapshots/<snapshot_id>`

[[ml-get-snapshot-prereqs]]
==== {api-prereq-title}

* If the {es} {security-features} are enabled, you must have `monitor_ml`,
`monitor`, `manage_ml`, or `manage` cluster privileges to use this API. See
{stack-ov}/security-privileges.html[Security privileges].

[[ml-get-snapshot-path-parms]]
==== {api-path-parms-title}

`<job_id>`::
  (Required, string) Identifier for the {anomaly-job}.

`<snapshot_id>`::
  (Optional, string) Identifier for the model snapshot. If you do not specify
  this optional parameter, the API returns information about all model snapshots.

[[ml-get-snapshot-request-body]]
==== {api-request-body-title}

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

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

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

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

`sort`::
  (Optional, string) Specifies the sort field for the requested snapshots. By
  default, the snapshots are sorted by their timestamp.

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

[[ml-get-snapshot-results]]
==== {api-response-body-title}

The API returns the following information:

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