[[get-snapshot-status-api-request]]
==== {api-request-title}
`GET /_snapshot///_status`
[[get-snapshot-status-api-desc]]
==== {api-description-title}
Use the get snapshot status API to retrieve detailed information about snapshots currently running in the cluster.
If you specify both the repository name and snapshot, the request retrieves detailed status information for the given snapshot, even if not currently running.
include::{es-ref-dir}/snapshot-restore/monitor-snapshot-restore.asciidoc[tag=get-snapshot-status-warning]
[[get-snapshot-status-api-path-params]]
==== {api-path-parms-title}
``::
(Required, string)
Snapshot repository name used to limit the request. Wildcard (`*`) expressions are supported.
+
Use `_current` after the repository name to limit the request only to the currently running snapshots. This usage is preferred to return only snapshots that are currently running and not degrade response time.
``::
(Required, string)
Comma-separated list of snapshot names to retrieve status for.
+
To retrieve a list of all snapshots in a specified repository, omit this parameter.
+
NOTE: Wildcard (`*`) expressions are not supported for ``.

`ignore_unavailable`::
(Optional, boolean)
If `false`, the request returns an error for any snapshots that are unavailable. Defaults to `false`.
+
If `true`, the request ignores snapshots that are unavailable, such as those that are corrupted or temporarily cannot be returned.
