What is Orthogonal?
Orthogonal is an agent gateway platform providing unified access to 800+ endpoints from 50+ verified data providers (people data, web search, scraping, enrichment, etc.) through a single SDK, MCP, or REST API integration. It simplifies agent development by handling provider discovery, standardized API calls, and consolidated billing across multiple third-party services.
