Hi,
Am experiencing an issue with a snapshot that i created via the API, when i try to spin up another droplet using it as an image, it fails. when i try to get the image by the slug via the API, I get The resource you were accessing could not be found
But when i get another snapshot image which was not created by the API, it responds without fail What could be the problem ? Thanks

Could you provide more details of the API calls you were making? Generally the error:
{"id":"not_found","message":"The resource you were accessing could not be found."}
is only returned if you are trying to access an endpoint that does not exist. It’s likely there is a typo in the URL. For most image related problems, you get a more specific error message.
If the image doesn’t exist, you get:
{"id":"unprocessable_entity","message":"You specified an invalid image for Droplet creation."}
If it’s not available in the region you are trying to launch it in, you get:
{"id":"unprocessable_entity","message":"The image you specified is not available in the selected region, you can transfer it to this region from the images pages."}
