# PASnapshot- Scoped

The PASnapshot API enables you to query information about Performance Analytics snapshots. Snapshots are the lists of records \(sys\_ids\) that are collected at the time that the scores for those records are collected. A snapshot is made only for automated indicators with **Collect records** selected.

You can query information about a snapshot at a certain date using the indicator sys\_id and date, and perform comparisons between snapshots for an indicator at different dates.

## PASnapshot - getCompareIDs\(String sys\_id, Number date1, Number date2, String type\)

Compares records in snapshots for a specified indicator at multiple dates, such as to identify records included in one snapshot but not the other.

gs.info(snapshot2);
