snapshot filter missing in API

[lma456]

In the CLI, I can create a filtered snapshot like this:

aptly snapshot filter -with-deps=false snap-all-20250618-01 snap-shared-20250623 'Name (= filter)'

But there’s no equivalent API endpoint (e.g. /api/snapshots//filter) to do the same.

Tried using PUT /api/snapshots/ with "Filter" in the body – has no effect.

Would be great to have full CLI parity here.

Thanks!

Yes, would be nice convenience function. Have a look at https://www.aptly.info/doc/api/snapshots/ As an alternative you could

1. get the packages of the source snapshot with "Show Packages/Search"
2. Remove the packages from output of 1. to your needs
3. create a new snapshot with "Create Snapshot from Package Refs" with output of 2.

Hope that helps while waiting
