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.

agent aware

More than an index entry, but the surface is still mostly links rather than artifacts — the cohort most likely to move a full band from modest, well-targeted work.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles LeapYear the way a machine reads it — 3 machine-readable artifacts across 1 API, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — LeapYear scores 16.7/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 17/100 (agent aware). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile LeapYear

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for LeapYear. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 1

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

LeapYear Python Client

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...

Security Posture 2

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
