# Cleanshelf

> Cleanshelf was a San Francisco enterprise SaaS management platform — SaaS
> application discovery, license optimization, subscription spend tracking and
> shadow-IT detection. It was acquired by LeanIX on 24 March 2021 and relaunched
> on 1 May 2021 as LeanIX SaaS Intelligence. LeanIX was subsequently acquired by
> SAP. **Cleanshelf publishes no API today.** This file exists so an agent
> looking for a Cleanshelf API stops here instead of guessing.

## Status

- Status: acquired, retired
- Acquirer: LeanIX (24 March 2021)
- Successor product: LeanIX SaaS Intelligence (from 1 May 2021); SaaS discovery and cataloging also shipped inside the LeanIX Application Portfolio Management module
- Current operator of cleanshelf.com: SAP SE, via LeanIX — TLS certificate subject `O=SAP SE, CN=leanix.info`, nameservers `nsp1.sap.de`, `nsp3.sap.net`, `nsp4.sap.asia`

## APIs

None. Cleanshelf has no public API, developer portal, OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, GraphQL SDL, MCP server, A2A agent card, SDK or package in any public registry. Do not construct a Cleanshelf endpoint; there is nothing to call.

## Successor

- LeanIX (SAP LeanIX) — https://www.leanix.net/en/
- LeanIX developer documentation — https://help.sap.com/docs/leanix
- LeanIX profile in this catalog — https://apis.io/providers/leanix/

## Correction notice

An earlier version of this profile attributed the Cleanshelf acquisition to Zylo and listed two "Zylo API" entries. That was wrong: Zylo is a competitor in the same market, not the acquirer. The acquirer is LeanIX. Corrected 2026-09-05.
