Restore a new sandbox from a previously created snapshot.

​
Endpoint

POST /sandboxes
To restore from a snapshot, call the standard create sandbox endpoint and include snapshot_id in the request body. Tensorlake restores the captured filesystem and memory state, and reuses the image, resources, entrypoint, and secrets from the snapshot unless you explicitly override them.

​
Example Request

curl -X POST https://api.tensorlake.ai/sandboxes \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TENSORLAKE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "snapshot_id": "<snapshot-id>"
  }'
You can also override image, resources, timeout_secs, entrypoint, network, allow_unauthenticated_access, exposed_ports, template_id, and name when booting from a snapshot. For the full request and response schema of POST /sandboxes, see Create Sandbox. For the end-to-end snapshot workflow, see Snapshots.
