Slide

Slide is a modern, security-first Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BCDR) platform built exclusively for Managed Service Providers (MSPs). Founded by Datto creator Austin McChord, Slide pairs on-premise Slide Box appliances with the Slide Cloud to deliver always-encrypted, block-level backup, snapshot management, file and image restores, and virtualization. Its open REST API (api.slide.tech) gives MSPs full programmatic control to integrate, extend, and automate agents, devices, backups, snapshots, restores, networks, clients, users, alerts, and audit logs within their existing tooling. The platform uses AES-256 and ZFS native encryption, offers month-to-month subscriptions, and is SOC 2 Type 1 certified.

Slide publishes 14 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Accounts API, Agents API, Alerts API, and 11 more. Tagged areas include Company, Backup, Disaster Recovery, Business Continuity, and BCDR.

Slide’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, changelog, and 20 more developer resources.

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/slide: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
