How it works

Orbit Search exposes a simple REST API. You authenticate with a developer API key, send a natural language query, and receive ranked profile results. No query language to learn — just describe who you’re looking for.
1

Get an API key

Sign in to the Orbit developer dashboard and generate a developer API key with the scopes you need (search:read, profile:read).
2

Run your first search

Call POST /v2/developer/search with a natural language query like "founders in San Francisco".
3

Read profile details

Use profile IDs from search results to fetch full public profiles via GET /v2/developer/profiles/:id.
4

Build your integration

Add your own data with Search Directories, scope searches to explicit directory IDs, and manage access with organization API keys.
