API Reference

SnapsVault will soon expose a public API that allows developers, validators, and monitoring tools to programmatically access up-to-date snapshot metadata across all supported networks.

Note: The API is read-only. Snapshot upload and verification are handled separately via the CLI and contributor workflow.
