How to create VM or Template from Snapshot using ovirt-shell or REST API?

Firework!
There is a small problem: I can't figure out how to create a new VM from a snapshot.
As I understand it, the procedure should be something like this:
1 Create a snapshot in the VM
2 Create a new, empty, VM with the same configuration as on the VM with the snapshot
3 Copy (clone) the snapshot to a new disk
4 Connect the new disk to the new VM
5 Make from a new VM what is needed
Create a VM with an identical configuration is not a problem: I just look through show vm vm_nameits configuration, and redirect the output (except for the name and id fields) to add vm. But I can't figure out how to connect a snapshot to it.
I can’t use python-api for some reason, although I would gladly use
Who worked with this, tell me, maybe there is another, more elegant solution?
