## GET /api/v2/vps/{id}/snapshots

**List VPS snapshots**

Return snapshots for a VPS, snapshot quota, feature availability, and create/restore action gates. Get `{id}` from `GET /api/v2/vps` `data[].id`. Snapshot `{snapshotId}` path parameters use the natural `data[].name` value, not a public ID. Snapshots are short-lived local block-on-write restore points for fast rollback, not offsite backups; each item exposes `expiresAt` and snapshots are automatically retained for about 24 hours. If `available` is false or `limits.totalSnapshots` is 0, snapshots are not included on the current plan. To buy or increase snapshot capacity, call `GET /api/v2/vps/{id}/actions/upgrade`, find `configurableOptions[].key === "snapshotSlots"`, then preview/commit `POST /api/v2/vps/{id}/actions/config` with `resources.snapshotSlots`, or change to a plan that includes snapshots. Use VPS backups for offsite, longer-term recovery; backup create/restore can take longer than snapshot rollback.
