What This Skill Does
Orthogonal is an API marketplace providing access to 100+ third-party APIs through a single interface. You can search with natural language, inspect parameters, and call endpoints using account credits or direct USDC payments via the x402 protocol.
Searching and calling 100+ APIs through one unified endpoint removes the overhead of managing separate accounts, keys, and SDKs for each provider.
When to use it
- Finding a web scraping API without managing separate provider accounts
- Getting ready-to-paste code snippets for a third-party API integration
- Calling a paid data API using a single unified credit balance
- Discovering what APIs exist for a specific task like geocoding or OCR
- Paying for API calls with USDC instead of a credit card subscription
Example Workflow
Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.
User asks: Scrape the content of https://example.com using an available API
- 1Search for matching APIs via POST /v1/search with prompt 'scrape websites'
- 2Review the returned list of endpoints with names, methods, and prices
- 3Fetch full parameter details for the chosen endpoint via POST /v1/details
- 4Call the endpoint via POST /v1/run with the api slug, path, and target URL in the body
JSON response containing the scraped page content and the per-call price charged
Requirements
Accounts, API keys, or tools you or your AI assistant may need to set up while using this skill.
