This POST service will create a new snapshot with the same attributes as the given JSON object.

API URL

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/releases/{releaseId}/snapshot

Request

Attributes	Type	Required	Description
action	String	Yes	should be set to createSnapshot for this API.
description	String	No	The description of the snapshot
snapshotVersionInputs	List<SnapshotVersionInputPojo>	No	A list of project versions to be built or existing versions to be associated with new snapshot. If you do not provide projectVersionId, build will be initiated. If you do not supply specific project that is configured in release, it will be added for build. projectId and packageName is used to identify if project is configured in Release or not. If you supply projectId and packageName combination that is not part of release, exception will be thrown.

Elements of snapshotVersionInputs has following attributes:

Attributes	Type	Required	Description
