Packet Host

Packet Host, Inc. (packet.com / api.packet.net) was a New York-based bare-metal cloud provider, backed by Battery Ventures, that let developers provision dedicated single-tenant servers on demand through a REST API, CLI, and Terraform. Equinix acquired Packet in 2020 and rebranded the service Equinix Metal, moving the API to api.equinix.com/metal/v1. Equinix Metal was fully retired: End-of-Sale was announced 2024-11-07 and the service was sunset 2026-06-30. This profile captures the Metal API surface (220 operations across 40 tags) and the Packet-to-Equinix-Metal lineage.

Packet Host publishes 40 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Authentication API, Batches API, BGP API, and 37 more. Tagged areas include Company, Bare Metal, Cloud Infrastructure, Infrastructure-as-a-Service, and Servers.

Packet Host’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, authentication, CLI, and 20 more developer resources.

Kin Score Kin Score How this is scored →
scored 2026-09-08 · rubric v0.20.0
Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/packet-host: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

  name: Packet Host Authentication API
  description: "Nearly all of the endpoints in the API require authentication. Authentication is performed by providing an\
    \ authentication token (interchangeably referred to as an API key) in the `X-Auth-Token` HTTP request header.\n\n<!--\
    \ ReDoc-Inject: <security-definitions> -->\n\nUser API keys can be obtained by creating them in the Equinix Metal Portal\
    \ or by using the [Create a User API Key](#operation/createAPIKey) endpoint.\n\nProject API keys can also be obtained\
    \ by creating them in the Equinix Metal Portal or by using the [Create a Project API Key](#operation/createProjectAPIKey)\
    \ endpoint. Project API keys are scoped to a single project and can only be used to access resources within that project.\n\
    \nFor example, to use an authenticated API token, you would make a request like the following:\n\n```bash\ncurl -H 'X-Auth-Token:\
    \ my_authentication_token' \\\n  https://api.equinix.com/metal/v1/user/api-keys\n```\n\nApplications can take advantage\
    \ of the Equinix Metal API and API keys to perform any of the actions that can be performed in the Equinix Metal Portal.\
    \ For example, you can use the API to create and manage devices, projects, and other resources.\n\nAPI keys can be deleted\
    \ without affecting any of the resources created with them. Access to applications using the API can be revoked by deleting\
    \ the API key used to authenticate the application."
