# List All Snapshots

`GET /v2/snapshots`

To list all of the snapshots available on your account, send a GET request to
`/v2/snapshots`.

The response will be a JSON object with a key called `snapshots`. This will be
set to an array of `snapshot` objects, each of which will contain the standard
snapshot attributes.

### Filtering Results by Resource Type

It's possible to request filtered results by including certain query parameters.

#### List Droplet Snapshots

To retrieve only snapshots based on Droplets, include the `resource_type`
query parameter set to `droplet`. For example, `/v2/snapshots?resource_type=droplet`.

#### List Volume Snapshots

To retrieve only snapshots based on volumes, include the `resource_type`
query parameter set to `volume`. For example, `/v2/snapshots?resource_type=volume`.
