It looks like the describe_snapshots method returns the newest one first but you really shouldn't count on that.
I think you can safely rely on the StartTime field, looking for the greatest value for all snapshots returned.
Snapshots occur asynchronously; the point-in-time snapshot is created immediately
Because of that the "largest" StartTime will be the latest snapshot
I wrote this bit of code to print the snapshot_id with the latest snapshot start time. My python-fu is not the greatest but this works.
import boto3
import datetime
import pytz
utc = pytz.UTC
starttime=datetime.datetime(1,1,1,tzinfo=utc)
snap_id = ""
volume_id = "<put your volume id here or write something more elegant to pass it in>"
region = 'us-east-1'
session = boto3.Session(profile_name='default')
ec2 = session.client('ec2', region_name=region)
response = ec2.describe_snapshots(Filters=["Name":"volume-id","Values":[volume_id]])
# print(response['Snapshots'])
for snap in response['Snapshots']:
if snap['StartTime'] > starttime:
snap_id = snap['SnapshotId']
starttime= snap['StartTime']
print(snap_id)
