# Retrieve In-Memory DB Snapshots

You can retrieve a list of In-Memory DB snapshots. The number of results displayed on each page depends on the `limit` and `offset` values. While `limit` limits the number of response elements, `offset` specifies the starting point within the collection of resource results returned from the server. 

Additionally, you can also use a response filter (`filter.name`) to list only the In-Memory DB snapshots that contain the specified `displayName`.

## Endpoint

Use a [<mark style="color:blue;">region-specific endpoint</mark>](https://docs.ionos.com/sections-test/guides/databases/in-memory-db/api-howtos/..#endpoints) from the list to retrieve all In-Memory DB snapshots: `https://in-memory-db.{region}.ionos.com/snapshots`
