## Synopsis

- This module can be used to gather facts about snapshot facts based upon provided values such as droplet, volume and snapshot id.

## Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

- python >= 2.6

## Parameters

Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments
--- | --- | ---
oauth_token string |  | DigitalOcean OAuth token. There are several other environment variables which can be used to provide this value. i.e., - 'DO_API_TOKEN', 'DO_API_KEY', 'DO_OAUTH_TOKEN' and 'OAUTH_TOKEN' aliases: api_token
snapshot_id - |  | To retrieve information about a snapshot, please specify this as a snapshot id. If set to actual snapshot id, then facts are gathered related to that particular snapshot only. This is required parameter, if `snapshot_type` is set to `by_id`.
snapshot_type - | Choices: all ← droplet volume by_id | Specifies the type of snapshot facts to be retrived. If set to `droplet`, then facts are gathered related to snapshots based on Droplets only. If set to `volume`, then facts are gathered related to snapshots based on volumes only. If set to `by_id`, then facts are gathered related to snapshots based on snapshot id only. If not set to any of the above, then facts are gathered related to all snapshots.
timeout integer | Default: 30 | The timeout in seconds used for polling DigitalOcean's API.
validate_certs boolean | Choices: no yes ← | If set to `no`, the SSL certificates will not be validated. This should only set to `no` used on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates.
