Orange Business

Orange Business is the B2B, telco-cloud, and developer arm of Orange S.A. — France's leading telecommunications group operating across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. The company markets itself as "an operator, integrator, and platform player" and serves 30,000+ enterprise customers across 65 countries with cloud, cybersecurity, SD-WAN/SASE, 5G, IoT, data, AI, and digital-workplace services. Orange's developer surface is split across two tracks. The Orange Developer portal (developer.orange.com) publishes the Orange Open Gateway — Orange's implementation of GSMA Open Gateway / CAMARA standardised network APIs (Number Verification, SIM Swap, Device Swap, KYC Match, Device Location, Geofencing, Device Status, Quality on Demand, Population Density Data) — alongside Orange-specific APIs for IoT (Live Objects, IoT Global Connectivity), payments (Orange Money WebPay, Pay With Orange Bill, carrier billing across Orange Africa), communications (Voice, SMS MEA, Business Talk, Contact Everyone), cloud (Cloud Avenue sovereign IaaS, Evolution Platform), and identity (Live Identity Verify, Live Identity Captcha). The Orange Business Services portfolio adds a B2B TM Forum–aligned API track for ordering, billing, incident management, eligibility, and order tracking. The Orange-OpenSource GitHub org backs the developer ecosystem with 427+ repos including Hurl (the popular Rust HTTP testing CLI with 18K+ stars), the Boosted accessible Bootstrap framework, the OUDS Orange Unified Design System for iOS / Android / Flutter, and 5G Kubernetes Helm charts. Orange has also stood up Orange LiveNet, a business unit dedicated to commercialising programmable network capabilities, and is one of the founding operators of the GSMA Open Gateway initiative with the CAMARA Linux Foundation project.

agent aware

Limited machine-readable signal and partial portal coverage — documentation a human can read, but little a machine or agent can consume without scraping.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Orange Business the way a machine reads it — 53 machine-readable artifacts across 38 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Orange Business scores 40.2/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 41/100 (agent aware). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Orange Business

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Orange Business. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 38
