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 19 more developer resources.
