DigitalOcean API and CLI (doctl)

Hello,

I was wondering if there is a way to list all snapshots which are currently in progress. I’ve tried doctl compute action list But it lists only completed tasks in there and I can see in the GUI that the snapshots are still in progress.

Hey @lyubo83,

I’ve tried a couple of things like:

https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/snapshots?status=in-progress

doctl compute snapshot list --no-header --format Name,Status | grep 'in-progress'

However the snapshot command supports only 3 options:

Usage:
  doctl compute snapshot [command]

Aliases:
  snapshot, s

Available Commands:
  delete      Delete a snapshot of a Droplet or volume
  get         Retrieve a Droplet or volume snapshot
  list        List Droplet and volume snapshots

Having said that, I think this is a great idea, sounds like it’d be super useful!

The best thing to do to get your voice heard regarding this would be to head over to our Product Ideas board and post a new idea, including as much information as possible for what you’d like to see implemented.
