+module: digital_ocean_snapshot_facts
+short_description: Gather facts about DigitalOcean Snapshot
+description:
+    - This module can be used to gather facts about snapshot facts based upon provided values such as droplet, volume and snapshot id.
+author: "Abhijeet Kasurde (@akasurde)"
+version_added: "2.6"
+options:
+  snapshot_type:
+    description:
+     - Specifies the type of snapshot facts to be retrived.
+     - If set to C(droplet), then facts are gathered related to snapshots based on Droplets only.
+     - If set to C(volume), then facts are gathered related to snapshots based on volumes only.
+     - If set to C(by_id), then facts are gathered related to snapshots based on snapshot id only.
+     - If not set to any of the above, then facts are gathered related to all snapshots.
+    default: 'all'
+    choices: [ 'all', 'droplet', 'volume', 'by_id']
+    required: false
+  snapshot_id:
+    description:
+     - To retrieve information about a snapshot, please specify this as a snapshot id.
+     - If set to actual snapshot id, then facts are gathered related to that particular snapshot only.
+     - This is required parameter, if C(snapshot_type) is set to C(by_id).
+    required: false
+requirements:
+  - "python >= 2.6"
