Resolve a researcher by ORCID iD
Resolve a researcher by ORCID iD. Pass orcid (e.g. 0000-0002-1825-0097, with or without the https://orcid.org/ prefix). Returns the researcher name, affiliations (employments and educations with organization, role, department, years, and a current flag), a total works count, and a works summary (title, type, year, DOI when present). Data: ORCID Public API, free and keyless; per-record visibility is set by the record holder. The canonical author key in scholarly metadata — pair with /api/papers/search, /api/paper/doi-lookup, and /api/research/org (ROR institutions). Use to verify an author identity, current institution, or publication record before citing.
Paid test badge: not yet. The checks above are free: we call the tool without paying and read the payment request it sends back. The Verified badge needs paid calls whose answers match the promised output, and nobody can buy a badge.
