==== 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:
