Request Public API Credentials from ORCID
A public API can be requested from ORCID: https://info.orcid.org/documentation/features/public-api/
Requesting the public API credentials from ORCID requires the user to define the integration also on ORCID's side as well.
Inside the ORCID profile, users need to define the URI of Alma that will be creating the requests to ORCID.
In the personal profile, under "developers tools" the following needs to be defined:
- Application Name
- Application URL
- Application description
- Redirect URI - this needs to be the base URI of the institution's Alma (XXX.alma.exlibrisgroup.com)
The user needs to add the Public API credentials into the integration profile.
Once the credentials are added, the user has the option to select ORCID in Alma Refine.
ORCID matching options are retrieved while displaying the current affiliation in parentheses.
Once a profile is selected and saved, the URI is added to the relevant subfield in the record.
