How this service works
Resolve a research organization via the Research Organization Registry (ROR). Pass id (a ROR id like 056y0v115 or its full URL) to fetch one org, or name to search by free text. Returns the canonical ROR id and name, organization type, status, founding year, location (city, country, GeoNames coordinates), website, Wikipedia link, external identifiers (GRID, ISNI, Wikidata, Crossref Funder), parent/child relationships, and aliases/acronyms. Data: ROR, free and CC0. The canonical institution key in scholarly metadata — pair with /api/papers/search and /api/paper/doi-lookup (author affiliations) and /api/research/author (ORCID). Use to disambiguate an institution name to a stable id before joining datasets.
Output
Returns a list of matching organizations with their canonical ROR IDs, display names, organization types (e.g. company, education, government), and location details (city and country code), plus the total count of matches and the data source (ROR).
Example use cases
Example prompt
“Can you look up 'Stanford University' in the Research Organization Registry and tell me its official ROR ID, type, and location?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://2s.io/api/research/orgWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to resolve a research institution, university, company, hospital, or government body to its canonical ROR identifier, or when you need verified metadata (type, location) about a known organization. Prefer this over general web search when you need structured, authoritative, deduplicated organizational identity data from the open scholarly infrastructure.
Side effects
- No matching organization found for the given name — returns empty organizations array with total=0
- Invalid ROR ID format — may return no results or an error
- Name query too broad — may return up to 'limit' results but many may be irrelevant
- Rate or payment failure — 402 response if payment not provided
- Network timeout for slow upstream ROR queries
