I am trying to do as much of my DigitalOcean interactions as I can using the doctl command line utility. While I can create a snapshot using doctl, I realized I had to go to the UI to add the created snapshot to a new region.
Is there any way I can do it using the doctl command line? How about using the API?

You can type !ref in this text area to quickly search our full set of tutorials, documentation & marketplace offerings and insert the link!
You can do that with the doctl compute image-action transfer command. For a bit more detail, add --help to the end of that command.
The raw API call is described here in our API documentation.
