Get a snapshot's status and sizes

GET 
/snapshots/:uuid

Returns one snapshot by UUID, including its progress code and description, failure flag, stored size in bytes, and original disk size in GB. The response is a single object, with the same fields as each entry in the snapshot list endpoints.

Poll this endpoint using the UUID returned by snapshot creation. Creation is complete when provisioned is true and failed is false. While creation is in progress, size_bytes may be zero or null. disk_size_gb records the source disk capacity at snapshot creation.

Snapshots remain accessible after their source instance is deleted. Returns 404 if the snapshot is unavailable or deleted.

Required scope: snapshot:read.
