LeapYear

LeapYear Technologies built an enterprise platform for differentially private analytics and machine learning, letting organizations run statistics, SQL-style queries, feature engineering, and supervised and unsupervised model training against their most sensitive data while a mathematically provable privacy guarantee bounds what any single record can leak. The product shipped as a self-hosted server, LeapYear Core, driven by a first-party Python client library that exposes databases, tables, views, users, groups, permissions, privacy profiles, and per-database privacy budgets as programmable resources. Snowflake announced its intent to acquire LeapYear in February 2023 and closed the acquisition for $62.0 million in cash, folding the differential privacy technology and team into the Snowflake Data Cloud clean-room capabilities. The standalone company surface is now retired: leapyear.io no longer answers on HTTPS. The surviving public developer surface is the hosted LeapYear Python client reference for version 4.1.1.

LeapYear publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Data Privacy, Differential Privacy, Machine Learning, and Analytics.

LeapYear’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, authentication, and 9 more developer resources.

  description: 'The first-party Python client library for LeapYear Core. The Client class opens an authenticated connection
    to a self-hosted LeapYear server and exposes administrative resources (databases, tables, column definitions, views, users,
    groups, permissions, privacy profiles) alongside the DataSet query builder, the analytics and model modules for differentially
    private statistics and machine learning, feature transformers, and an async jobs interface. There is no public multi-tenant
    endpoint: every deployment runs its own LeapYear Core server, so the client is pointed at a customer-operated host via
    the url argument or the LY_API_URL environment variable.'
