How to restore the last on demand snapshot taken via api? - mongodb-atlas

Question

I took the backup of the database using below command
CODE=`curl --user "${{ secrets.PUBLIC_KEY }}:${{ secrets.PRIVATE_KEY }}" \
--digest --include \
--header "Accept: application/json" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--request POST "https://cloud.mongodb.com/api/atlas/v1.0/groups/${{ secrets.PROJECT_ID }}/clusters/cluster-1/backup/snapshots?pretty=true" \
--data '{ "description" : "On Demand Snapshot", "retentionInDays" : 3 }'`
Now I am looking for a way to use the above snapshot the restore back the database using the curl command

First you need to get the snapshot ID of the last snapshot like this:
echo "Get the snapshots list from ${ATLAS_SOURCE_CLUSTER}"
curl --user "${ATLAS_USER}:${ATLAS_KEY}" \
--output atlas-list-snaps.json \
--digest \
--silent \
--header "Accept: application/json" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--request GET "https://cloud.mongodb.com/api/atlas/v1.0/groups/${ATLAS_SOURCE_GROUPID}/clusters/${ATLAS_SOURCE_CLUSTER}/backup/snapshots/shardedClusters?pretty=true"
#cat atlas-list-snaps.json
echo "Get the last snapshot from the list"
LAST_SNAPSHOT_ID=$(cat atlas-list-snaps.json | jq -r '.results[0].id')
echo "> ${LAST_SNAPSHOT_ID}"
Then, create a json payload describing your import job and then trigger the restore job:
echo "Restore job payload generation"
RESTORE_JOB_PAYLOAD=$(cat <<RESTORE_JOB_JSON
{
"deliveryType": "automated",
"snapshotId": "${LAST_SNAPSHOT_ID}",
"targetClusterName": "${ATLAS_TARGET_CLUSTER}",
"targetGroupId": "${ATLAS_TARGET_GROUPID}"
}
RESTORE_JOB_JSON
)
echo "${RESTORE_JOB_PAYLOAD}"
echo "Submitting restore job request to cluster ${TARGET_ATLAS_CLUSTER}"
curl --user "${ATLAS_USER}:${ATLAS_KEY}" \
--digest \
--header "Accept: application/json" \
--silent \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--output atlas-restore_job.json \
--request POST "https://cloud.mongodb.com/api/atlas/v1.0/groups/${ATLAS_SOURCE_GROUPID}/clusters/${ATLAS_SOURCE_CLUSTER}/backup/restoreJobs?pretty=true" \
--data "${RESTORE_JOB_PAYLOAD}"
echo "Submitted restore job"
