ORCID Public API

The ORCID Public API enables you to do the following things:

• Sign in with ORCID / Get a user's ORCID identifier (these two functions follow the same process)
• Retrieve public data from a user's ORCID record
• Search public ORCID registry data

Using the Public API requires a set of credentials consisting of a Client ID and a Client Secret. You can configure credentials for the Public API from your personal ORCID account.
