Hi Team,

I was running the below command to get all the snapshots which was taken by me:

 curl -username:password -X GET "ES Server IP:9200/_snapshot/reponame?v&s=id&pretty" -k

{
  "error" : {
    "root_cause" : [
      {
        "type" : "illegal_argument_exception",
        "reason" : "request [/_snapshot/repo name] contains unrecognized parameters: [s], [v]"
      }
    ],
    "type" : "illegal_argument_exception",
    "reason" : "request [/_snapshot/repo name] contains unrecognized parameters: [s], [v]"
  },
  "status" : 400
}

But if I run the below command, I get response:

curl -u username:password -X GET "ES SERVER IP:9200/_snapshot/repo Name/_all" -k

Regards
Dev

```

Try with `ES Server IP:9200/_snapshot/reponame?pretty` instead.

This gives only Repo name and bucket settings not snapshot.

And what would you like to do? I mean where did you see that you can use "v&s=id" parameters?

I can't see that in [the documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.7/snapshot-restore-apis.html).

Here ,[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/cat-snapshots.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/cat-snapshots.html)

I missed the cat

```auto
curl -username:password -X GET "ES Server IP:9200/_cat/_snapshot/reponame?v&s=id&pretty" -k

```

It same error with cat command as well.

This is incorrect. See [the documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/cat-snapshots.html). There is this example at the end.

```auto
GET /_cat/snapshots/repo1?v&s=id

```

So it should be:

```auto
curl -username:password -X GET "ES Server IP:9200/_cat/snapshots/repo1?v&s=id"

```

Okie, so when I copy the command copy as curl it gives me 

curl -X GET "localhost:9200/_cat/snapshots/repo1?v&s=id&pretty"
 
The issue is with "&pretty".

```

I meant it was issue with command from doc, so if you copy from(https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/cat-snapshots.html) it gives you an option "copy as curl" and if you do that you will get the command as below:

curl -X GET "localhost:9200/_cat/snapshots/repo1?v&s=id&pretty" and same when I ran encounter issue having "pretty ".

```
