Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A server-side API for searching normalized interests across games, anime, films, series, music, and books.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-17 issue.

Field notes

Orbit presents a shared data model for six cultural categories, with examples ranging from Zelda and Minecraft to Frieren, Dune, Taylor Swift, and romance or science-fiction books. Its documented workflow is deliberately small: search by label, optionally filter by category, then persist the returned UUID rather than free text. The page describes a server-only integration using a bearer key, with curl and native Node.js examples, and says public opening is still being prepared.
