Orbitlas

Developers

The public map API makes a hosted Orbitlas map from a prompt or a small table of places and numbers. It returns a permalink, an embed URL, a large-image card, and the labelled values and sources.Orbitlas is operated by an individual under the laws of the State of Delaware.

Free limit

An anonymous network can make 12 maps a day, the same limit as the globe. There is also a short burst limit. Paid API keys are not being issued yet. Sending x-orbitlas-api-key does not raise the limit. Nothing is charged.

Make a map

curl -s https://orbitlas.com/api/v1/maps \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{"prompt":"GDP per capita"}'

A dataset is {"dataset":{"title":"Coffee","rows":[{"name":"Brazil","value":10}]}}. Keep it to 80 rows. Do not send personal information. The figures are labeled User data and are not published by Orbitlas.

Assistants

Grok, Claude, ChatGPT, and other clients that speak Model Context Protocol can use the Streamable HTTP endpoint. The tools are create_map and get_map. They follow the same safety rules and the same free limit.

oEmbed

Map, time-lapse, and embed pages advertise https://orbitlas.com/api/oembed. A pasted Orbitlas link can unfurl as a rich embed.

Rules

The public map API and the assistant endpoint follow the same rules as the rest of Orbitlas. Do not request a military or weapons map, the location of a living person, or an insult or depiction of any religion, including Islam and the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Free calls are limited per network. Paid API keys are not sold on this page. Until a key is issued, nothing is charged. A small dataset you send is stored as a public share. Do not send personal information.
