ORCID
Number of APIs: 7
ORCID offers two APIs. The Member API which allows writing and reading limited access information and is available to organizations who are members of ORCID, and the Public API which allows reading public access information and is available for anyone to use. Both APIs use the same workflow for requesting access and making calls.
Environments
In addition to the production environment at https://orcid.org, ORCID offers a developers sandbox at https://sandbox.orcid.org/ for testing, you do not need to be an ORCID member to test on the Member API on the sandbox.
