8. Aims of the support project
› Respond to technical support requests via phone, email, site visits and surgeries
from research information management practitioners and developers in ORCID
consortium member organisations building integrations using the ORCID API
› Gather technical interoperability requirements across UK universities and to,
where appropriate implement developments or help to guide developments in
key systems
› Design, organise and facilitate UK ORCID user community events to provide a
forum for networking, sharing of experiences and collaboration
› Design, organise and facilitate ORCID hack days to enable developers in
consortium member organisations to learn about ORCID development
resources, to collaborate and to create new ORCID tools
› Set up and manage online communication channels to facilitate sharing of
plans and coordination of implementation activities among group members
› Create documentation and other tools to inform users – where appropriate – or
refer them to existing documentation and resources provided by the ORCID
organisation.

25. ORCID PROVIDES
Persistent digital identifiers to distinguish researchers
from each other
Member-built integrations that connect researchers
and their activities/affiliations
A hub for synchronizing machine-readable connections
between identifiers for people, organizations, and
research activities
✔ Plumbing for research information
✔ Tools to build trust in digital information

26. REGISTRATION IS
SIMPLE
Register
Directly via the ORCID website
https://orcid.org/register
Or referred by an integration
from another site

27. REGISTRATION IS SIMPLE

37. THE ORCID API IN A NUTSHELL
• Permissions / scopes: your contract with the user
• The ORCID messages: format of the data
exchanged
• OAuth calls (the permission protocol): how you
execute the contract
• ORCID-specific calls: to provide & receive
information with the registry

38. API Workflow
A researcher is on your site and asked to link their
ORCID iD
Follow along at home: http://search.crossref.org/
http://dx.doi.org/10.2218/ijdc.v7i2.230

39. API Workflow
They are taken to the ORCID website and can
register or sign in at the same time as granting
access

40. API Workflow
The researcher is then returned to your site with
their ORCID iD and the permission they granted

41. API Technology
RESTful API interactions via HTTP calls
OAuth “3-legged” authorization process
XML/JSON data exchange

42. API Technology
Accessing the API:
1. Client Credentials
Client ID/Client Secret (ORCID provides)
2. Software tools capable of making/receiving
HTTP calls cURL, custom applications PHP,
Python, Ruby, Java, etc
OR
Systems with built-in ORCID API support
(repositories, research information systems, etc)

43. Vendor Systems Set up
1.Check your system’s documentation
for the redirect URIs you need
2.Complete the form at
https://orcid.org/content/register-
client-application-production-trusted-
party
3.Enter your credentials as directed

44. Vendor Systems Set up
Tell us which system you’re using
Who to send the credentials to
Select No

45. Vendor Systems Set up

46. Vendor Systems Set up
Check with the system you use for Redirect URIs

47. Technical steps to build an integration
1. Get credentials for the ORCID Sandbox
sandbox.orcid.org
2. Set up an integration on the sandbox using the
documentation at http://members.orcid.org/
3. Work with ORCID staff to test your sandbox
integration
4. Launch your integration in the live ORCID
Registry
Build it yourself

48. GET & USE PERMISSIONS
ORCID Record
Yes!
Do you have
permission to do
what you want to do?
Get the
permission; store
iD and “token”
Read the record
or update the
record
No
OAuth

49. TRANSFORM THE CODE INTO A TOKEN
Use the code to gain access using the ORCID API
https://sandbox.api.orcid.org/oauth/token
HEADER: accept:application/json
DATA:
client_id=APP-XT8FBKJRO3MR8WDR
client_secret=e285575c-4794-464b-a807-6f1c06b63
grant_type=authorization_code
code=htA3yE
redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fmy.URL.org
our API calls always look
like URLs (RESTful)
what format?
the auth code
confirming that you are
the right one to get this
information

50. STORE THE RESULT
The result of the call
"access_token":"6710dfee-6aab-445b-a266-205dd9085273",
"token_type" : "bearer",
"expires_in" : 631138518,
"scope" : "/read-limited /activities/update",
"orcid" : "0000-0002-0491-7882",
"name" : "Bob Researcher"
store the access token and iD
when permission expires (in seconds)
your permission – executed contract
iD & name for the person
who gave permission
what you can do
✔ iD Collected!

51. ENABLING SYNCHRONIZATION
ORCID API features & tips:
• Update notifications (webhooks)
• Your system registers iDs you’re watching
• ORCID notifies when changes happen
• Internal triggers
• Employment status change
• Publication acceptance
• Publication correction
• Funding award
