Orbit API Overview

View as Markdown

Orbit helps agents discover public API endpoints, evaluate their suitability, and understand how to use them. The typical flow is search → evaluate → integrate.

The /v1/search operation handles search and evaluation. It finds endpoints that match a plain-language goal and explains what each endpoint does, when to use it, and its limitations. After the agent selects the best fit, /v1/integrate returns the authentication requirements, base URL, steps, and other details needed to call it.

For example, an agent can search for APIs to build a feature to post current weather to Slack, evaluate the results, and then generate integration instructions for the selected endpoints.

Orbit does not require authentication. APIs discovered through Orbit may require their own credentials.

POST /v1/integrateTurn one or more results into a task brief for calling them
1  {

3      "resources": [

5              "id": "1446534-36e04f24-1a4e-4546-83c4-59049ae23f1b",
6              "type": "endpoint"
7          },
8          {
9              "id": "1037136-ac3a9a57-549d-4b73-b9fe-228aa65f75ab",
10              "type": "endpoint"
11          }
12      ]
13  }

Both calls use public content only and need no authentication. Rate limits apply; exceeding them returns 429.
