=== Snapshots Status API

The Snapshots Status API allows to retrieve detailed information about snapshots in progress.

[[java-rest-high-snapshot-snapshots-status-request]]
==== Snapshots Status Request

A `SnapshotsStatusRequest`:

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests}/SnapshotClientDocumentationIT.java[snapshots-status-request]
--------------------------------------------------

==== Required Arguments
The following arguments must be provided:

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests}/SnapshotClientDocumentationIT.java[snapshots-status-request-repository]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> Sets the repository to check for snapshot statuses

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests}/SnapshotClientDocumentationIT.java[snapshots-status-request-snapshots]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> The list of snapshot names to check the status of

==== Optional Arguments
The following arguments can optionally be provided:

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests}/SnapshotClientDocumentationIT.java[snapshots-status-request-ignoreUnavailable]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> The command will fail if some of the snapshots are unavailable. The `ignore_unavailable` flag
set to true will return all snapshots that are currently available.

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests}/SnapshotClientDocumentationIT.java[snapshots-status-request-masterTimeout]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> Timeout to connect to the master node as a `TimeValue`
<2> Timeout to connect to the master node as a `String`

[[java-rest-high-snapshot-snapshots-status-sync]]
==== Synchronous Execution

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests}/SnapshotClientDocumentationIT.java[snapshots-status-execute]
--------------------------------------------------

[[java-rest-high-snapshot-snapshots-status-async]]
==== Asynchronous Execution

The asynchronous execution of retrieving snapshot statuses requires both the
`SnapshotsStatusRequest` instance and an `ActionListener` instance to be
passed to the asynchronous method:

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests}/SnapshotClientDocumentationIT.java[snapshots-status-execute-async]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> The `SnapshotsStatusRequest` to execute and the `ActionListener`
to use when the execution completes

The asynchronous method does not block and returns immediately. Once it is
completed the `ActionListener` is called back using the `onResponse` method
if the execution successfully completed or using the `onFailure` method if
it failed.

A typical listener for `SnapshotsStatusResponse` looks like:

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests}/SnapshotClientDocumentationIT.java[snapshots-status-execute-listener]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> Called when the execution is successfully completed. The response is
provided as an argument
<2> Called in case of a failure. The raised exception is provided as an argument

[[java-rest-high-snapshot-snapshots-status-response]]
==== Snapshots Status Response

The returned `SnapshotsStatusResponse` allows to retrieve information about the
executed operation as follows:

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests}/SnapshotClientDocumentationIT.java[snapshots-status-response]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> Request contains a list of snapshot statuses
<2> Each status contains information about the snapshot
<3> Example of reading snapshot statistics about a specific index and shard
