Introduction

Orbbit’s Data API answers two kinds of questions about a business: what its inputs cost, and what it makes and sells. It’s one read-only REST API. Every endpoint takes an Authorization: Bearer <key> header, answers in JSON, and starts with /v1.

How the data is organized

Market data

Prices that apply to any industry. Today: Commodities, dairy and chicken prices published by the USDA, from daily to annual.

Industry data

Data about the companies and products inside one industry. Today: CPG (consumer packaged goods).

Industry data is grouped by industry first, then by kind of data:

Industry	Data set	What it tells you
CPG	Branded food	What’s in a packaged food: ingredients, nutrition, serving, barcode, maker.
