| Method | Path | Description |
|---|---|---|
| POST | / | Cancels a cluster job. You can only cancel a cluster job while it's in the AwaitingQuorum status. You'll have at least an hour after creating a cluster job to cancel it. |
| POST | / | Cancels the specified job. You can only cancel a job before its JobState value changes to PreparingAppliance. Requesting the ListJobs or DescribeJob action returns a job's JobState as part of the response element data returned. |
| POST | / | Creates an address for a Snow device to be shipped to. In most regions, addresses are validated at the time of creation. The address you provide must be located within the serviceable area of your region. If the address is invalid or unsupported, then an exception is thrown. If providing an address as a JSON file through the cli-input-json option, include the full file path. For example, --cli-input-json file://create-address.json. |
| POST | / | Creates an empty cluster. Each cluster supports five nodes. You use the CreateJob action separately to create the jobs for each of these nodes. The cluster does not ship until these five node jobs have been created. |
| POST | / | Creates a job to import or export data between Amazon S3 and your on-premises data center. Your Amazon Web Services account must have the right trust policies and permissions in place to create a job for a Snow device. If you're creating a job for a node in a cluster, you only need to provide the clusterId value; the other job attributes are inherited from the cluster. Only the Snowball; Edge device type is supported when ordering clustered jobs. The device capacity is optional. Availability of device types differ by Amazon Web Services Region. For more information about Region availability, see Amazon Web Services Regional Services. Snow Family devices and their capacities.

| POST | / | Creates a job with the long-term usage option for a device. The long-term usage is a 1-year or 3-year long-term pricing type for the device. You are billed upfront, and Amazon Web Services provides discounts for long-term pricing. |
| POST | / | Creates a shipping label that will be used to return the Snow device to Amazon Web Services. |
| POST | / | Takes an AddressId and returns specific details about that address in the form of an Address object. |
| POST | / | Returns a specified number of ADDRESS objects. Calling this API in one of the US regions will return addresses from the list of all addresses associated with this account in all US regions. |
| POST | / | Returns information about a specific cluster including shipping information, cluster status, and other important metadata. |
| POST | / | Returns information about a specific job including shipping information, job status, and other important metadata. |
| POST | / | Information on the shipping label of a Snow device that is being returned to Amazon Web Services. |
| POST | / | Returns a link to an Amazon S3 presigned URL for the manifest file associated with the specified JobId value. You can access the manifest file for up to 60 minutes after this request has been made. To access the manifest file after 60 minutes have passed, you'll have to make another call to the GetJobManifest action. The manifest is an encrypted file that you can download after your job enters the WithCustomer status. This is the only valid status for calling this API as the manifest and UnlockCode code value are used for securing your device and should only be used when you have the device. The manifest is decrypted by using the UnlockCode code value, when you pass both values to the Snow device through the Snowball client when the client is started for the first time. As a best practice, we recommend that you don't save a copy of an UnlockCode value in the same location as the manifest file for that job. Saving these separately helps prevent unauthorized parties from gaining access to the Snow device associated with that job. The credentials of a given job, including its manifest file and unlock code, expire 360 days after the job is created. |
| POST | / | Returns the UnlockCode code value for the specified job. A particular UnlockCode value can be accessed for up to 360 days after the associated job has been created. The UnlockCode value is a 29-character code with 25 alphanumeric characters and 4 hyphens. This code is used to decrypt the manifest file when it is passed along with the manifest to the Snow device through the Snowball client when the client is started for the first time. The only valid status for calling this API is WithCustomer as the manifest and Unlock code values are used for securing your device and should only be used when you have the device. As a best practice, we recommend that you don't save a copy of the UnlockCode in the same location as the manifest file for that job. Saving these separately helps prevent unauthorized parties from gaining access to the Snow device associated with that job. |
| POST | / | Returns information about the Snow Family service limit for your account, and also the number of Snow devices your account has in use. The default service limit for the number of Snow devices that you can have at one time is 1. If you want to increase your service limit, contact Amazon Web Services Support. |
| POST | / | Returns an Amazon S3 presigned URL for an update file associated with a specified JobId. |
| POST | / | Returns an array of JobListEntry objects of the specified length. Each JobListEntry object is for a job in the specified cluster and contains a job's state, a job's ID, and other information. |
| POST | / | Returns an array of ClusterListEntry objects of the specified length. Each ClusterListEntry object contains a cluster's state, a cluster's ID, and other important status information. |
| POST | / | This action returns a list of the different Amazon EC2-compatible Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) that are owned by your Amazon Web Services accountthat would be supported for use on a Snow device. Currently, supported AMIs are based on the Amazon Linux-2, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS - Focal, or Ubuntu 22.04 LTS - Jammy images, available on the Amazon Web Services Marketplace. Ubuntu 16.04 LTS - Xenial (HVM) images are no longer supported in the Market, but still supported for use on devices through Amazon EC2 VM Import/Export and running locally in AMIs. |
| POST | / | Returns an array of JobListEntry objects of the specified length. Each JobListEntry object contains a job's state, a job's ID, and a value that indicates whether the job is a job part, in the case of export jobs. Calling this API action in one of the US regions will return jobs from the list of all jobs associated with this account in all US regions. |

| POST | / | While a job's JobState value is New, you can update some of the information associated with a job. Once the job changes to a different job state, usually within 60 minutes of the job being created, this action is no longer available. |
