      The Orbital Query API allows developers to submit TaxiQL queries to the
      Orbital data gateway for integrating, transforming, and discovering data
      across APIs, databases, event streams, and other data sources. Queries are
      submitted to the /api/taxiql endpoint and results can be returned as JSON
      or streamed via Server-Sent Events. The API also provides endpoints for
      managing connections and caches.

      The Orbital Schema Management API provides endpoints for managing schemas,
      types, and data source definitions within an Orbital workspace. It allows
      developers to register, update, and remove Taxi schemas and type
      definitions that Orbital uses to understand the semantic relationships
      between data across connected services. Schemas can originate from OpenAPI
      specs, Protobuf definitions, database schemas, or Taxi projects.

  Orbital is a data gateway and integration platform that connects APIs, databases,
  event streams, and other data sources without requiring glue code or manual integration
  maintenance. The platform delivers self-repairing integrations through instant,
  on-the-fly orchestration that automatically adapts as APIs and schemas evolve, eliminating
  the need to write resolvers, generate API clients, or maintain YAML mapping files.
