Evidence-backed facts

  1. Public v3.0 search uses pub.orcid.org in production or pub.sandbox.orcid.org in the sandbox. Basic search returns matching public-record IDs; expanded-search can return public metadata including names, email and institution. informative
  2. Programmatic public/member search uses client-credentials OAuth with /read-public. The tutorial separately documents public CSV search in a browser without API credentials. informative
  3. Public API search is capped at 10,000 results. Both public and member searches default to 1000 results per page and allow at most 1000 per page; start and rows select the offset and page size. informative
  4. Queries use Solr syntax: field:value narrows a field and uppercase AND/OR combines keywords; lowercase and/or are ordinary search terms. XML and JSON responses are supported. informative
