How this service works
X402 micropayments server — AI agents pay USDC for OFAC screening, rates, and billing verification.
Output
A JSON object with a success flag and a result containing ranked author profile candidates. Each profile typically includes the author's name, ORCID identifier, institutional affiliation, and publication metadata. For ORCID-based lookups, returns a single resolved profile; for name-based lookups, returns up to the requested number of ranked candidates (default 10, max 25).
Example use cases
Resolve researcher identity by ORCID
“I have an ORCID — 0000-0001-2345-6789 — can you pull the full author profile for that researcher?”
Find author candidates by name and university
“Search for all academic profiles matching 'Carlos Rivera' at Stanford University, show me up to 10 ranked results.”
Verify co-author identity for citation
“I'm building a bibliography and need to confirm whether 'Sarah Chen' at Harvard is the correct author — can you find her scholar profile and show me her institutional affiliation?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://x402helper.xyz/89e509/scholar/author?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to resolve or disambiguate academic researcher identities by name or ORCID, especially when institution filtering is helpful. It is well-suited for citation verification, co-author identification, and bibliography enrichment workflows. Prefer this over generic web search when structured, ranked author profile data with ORCID resolution is needed.
Side effects
- Author name too common — returns many low-confidence candidates with no clear match
- ORCID not found — result may be empty or error if identifier is invalid or unregistered
- Institution name misspelled — narrows results incorrectly or returns no matches
- Exceeding limit of 25 candidates — rejected at schema validation
- Payment failure via x402 protocol — endpoint returns 402 and no data is provided
- Network timeout — server unreachable
