import random


api_key = 'REPLACE_API'


manager = digitalocean.Manager(token=api_key)


my_droplets = manager.get_all_droplets()

zmayDroplet=my_droplets[0]
zmayDroplet.take_snapshot('snapshot-'+str(random.randint(1,10000))) #this makes a snapshot
print "snapshot made"

snapshots=manager.get_all_snapshots()

if len(snapshots)>1:

	print "no snapshots to delete"

Thanks a lot code is working perfect..i need one more help
I am trying to create Loadbalancer from lastr two days but i can't able to do ,I am trying below code but no luck can you guide me how to create LoadBalancer and how can we add and remove the droplets from `LB?
import digitalocean
lb = digitalocean.LoadBalancer(token="api_token",
name= 'test',
region= 'BLR1',
forwarding_rules= ["entry_protocol::http"])

lb.create()
print('LB is Created')```

sorry but I have no experience with loadbalancer whatsoever. Maybe there's something useful at the documentation of the library which you import at the beginning of the script.

Ok thanks no worries
