SnapRoute was a cloud-native networking startup, backed by Lightspeed Venture Partners and Norwest Venture Partners, that built a containerized, microservices-based network operating system (its FlexSwitch / Cloud-Native Network OS) aimed at running switch software with the same DevOps tooling used for application infrastructure. Its public GitHub organization (github.com/snaproute) reflects that focus — OpenConfig and YANG tooling (pyang/pyangbind), OpenNetworkLinux, netlink, sFlow, and a Docker-based training lab — but it has been dormant since 2020 and ships no published REST/OpenAPI interface, SDKs, or developer portal. The company no longer operates independently: the snaproute.com domain now 301-redirects to infoblox.com, so there is no live API surface to enrich. This profile records the verifiable remnants (GitHub organization, domain posture) rather than a working developer program.
Snaproute is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Networking, Network Operating System, Cloud-Native, and SDN.
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the
Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so
Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite.
If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your
provider repo — the
applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for
this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero:
never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and
several others — scorable at all.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them,
because the conditional facet above carries the other
15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped
maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal
weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
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/snaproute: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
