Get All Cloud Backups
On this page
Groups and projects are synonymous terms. Your {GROUP-ID} is the
same as your project ID. For existing groups, your group/project ID
remains the same. The resource and corresponding endpoints use the
term groups.
The Atlas Administration API authenticates using HTTP Digest Authentication. Provide a programmatic API public key and corresponding private key as the username and password when constructing the HTTP request. To learn how to configure API access for an Atlas project, see Get Started with the Atlas Administration API.

Path Parameters
Path Element | Type | Necessity | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
GROUP-ID | string | Required | Unique identifier of the project for the
Atlas cluster. |
CLUSTER-NAME | string | Required | Name of the Atlas cluster that contains the snapshots you
want to retrieve. |
Query Parameters
This endpoint may use any of the HTTP request query parameters available to all Atlas Administration API resources. These are all optional.
Name | Type | Necessity | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|---|
pageNum | integer | Optional | Page number, starting with one, that Atlas returns of the
total number of objects. | 1 |
itemsPerPage | integer | Optional | Number of items that Atlas returns per page, up to a maximum
of 500. | 100 |
includeCount | boolean | Optional | Flag that indicates whether Atlas returns the totalCount
parameter in the response body. | true |
pretty | boolean | Optional | Flag that indicates whether Atlas returns the JSON
response in the
prettyprint format. | false |
envelope | boolean | Optional | Flag that indicates whether Atlas wraps the response in an envelope. Some API clients cannot access the HTTP response headers or
status code. To remediate this, set Endpoints that return a list of results use the results object as an envelope. Atlas adds the status parameter to the response body. | false |
Body Parameters
This endpoint doesn't use HTTP request body parameters.

config server for a sharded cluster. Atlas returns this
parameter when "type": "shardedCluster". These identifiers
should match those given in the members[n].id parameters.
This allows you to map a snapshot to its shard or config server
name. |
snapshotType | string | Type of snapshot. Atlas can return onDemand or
scheduled. |
status | string | Current status of the snapshot. Atlas can return one of the following values:
|
storageSizeBytes | integer | Size of the snapshot in bytes. |
