How this service works
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.
Output
Returns a JSON object with the researcher's given and family name, ORCID iD, ORCID profile URL, current and past affiliations (with type and organization name), a list of works (title, DOI, year) up to the requested limit, total works count, and data source attribution.
Example use cases
Example prompt
“Look up the ORCID profile for researcher 0000-0002-1825-0097 and give me their name, current affiliations, and up to 20 of their published works.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://2s.io/api/research/authorWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you have a known ORCID iD and need authoritative, structured data about an academic researcher — their name, institutional affiliations, and publication list. Prefer this over general web search when you need ground-truth researcher identity data sourced directly from ORCID. Ideal for academic due diligence, citation enrichment, researcher verification, or building publication graphs.
Side effects
- Invalid or malformed ORCID iD returns an error or empty result
- ORCID iD does not exist in the registry — empty or 404-style response
- Researcher profile is set to private — limited or no data returned
- worksLimit out of range (must be 1–50) causes validation error
- Network timeout or upstream ORCID API unavailability
