Orbit gives you two people APIs:
  • Search finds people from structured criteria or identity signals. It can return known matches, discover additional candidates, and build every result to a partial or full profile.
  • Enrich takes an existing Orbit profile ID and returns, upgrades, or regenerates that profile.
Both APIs return stable request resources that you can poll. The API base URL is https://api.orbitsearch.com.

Install the Orbit API docs skill

Install the Orbit API docs skill in a compatible AI agent:
The skill gives your agent the public v3 workflows, constraints, and source links. AI tools can also use the llms.txt documentation index directly.

Quickstart

Run a search and retrieve useful profiles in minutes.

Search

Find people and control discovery, profile depth, and response embedding.

Enrich

Read, upgrade, or regenerate a known Orbit profile.

Authentication

Create a scoped developer key and use bearer authentication.

​
The v3 model

Search separates three choices that your application can make independently:
  1. Set candidate_discovery to decide whether Orbit should only return known matches or also find additional people.
  2. Set profile_depth to partial or full to control how far Orbit builds every selected result.
  3. Set include_profile to decide whether profile objects are embedded in the response.
Enrich is level-aware. Asking for partial or full returns an existing profile immediately when it already satisfies the request; otherwise Orbit upgrades it. regenerate builds toward full for shallow profiles and rebuilds an existing full profile from scratch. v3 Search and Enrich do not consume credits. API-key rate limits still apply.
