Extending Core Snaps

[JoeRickard]

We are looking to build some custom snaps to implement a REST API including pulling back metadata to populate dropdowns etc.

Is it possible to extend for example the core REST Get Snaps, which already have much of the functionality we require, without having to build these from scratch and potentially introduce bugs?

Is this possible in a more general case to extend any core snaps?

We don't release the snaps as artifacts that you'd be able to extend from. But the REST Get Snaps leverage the jrest module at their core, so you could work with that to go through them.
