How this service works
Name, biography, employments and educations for an ORCID iD, with an optional capped list of the most recent publications.
Output
A structured profile including the researcher's name, biographical text, list of employments (institutions and roles), list of educational credentials, and optionally a capped list of their most recent publications sorted by date.
Example use cases
Vetting a grant applicant
“I need to verify the academic credentials and employment history for a grant applicant — their ORCID iD is 0000-0003-1234-5678. Can you pull their profile including their last 5 publications?”
Populating an author bio page
“We're adding an author page for Dr. Jane Smith — her ORCID is 0000-0001-2345-6789. Can you fetch her biography, education, and current institution from her ORCID profile?”
Identifying recent publications of a collaborator
“I want to see what papers my collaborator has published recently — their ORCID iD is 0000-0002-9876-5432. Grab their profile and show me their 20 most recent works.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://fittings.sh/v1/orcid/researcher-profileWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you have an ORCID iD and need structured researcher profile data including biography, employment, and education in a single call. Prefer this over scraping ORCID.org directly or calling the ORCID public API yourself, as it handles authentication, parsing, and optionally bundles recent publications. Ideal for enriching author records, verifying academic credentials, or populating researcher directories.
Side effects
- Invalid or malformed ORCID iD returns an error response
- ORCID iD not found in ORCID registry returns empty or 404-style error
- works parameter outside 0-100 range may be rejected or clamped
- ORCID profile is private or restricted, returning partial or empty data
- Upstream ORCID API unavailability causes service errors
