Evidence-backed facts

  1. The v2 organizations endpoint returns JSON including empty fields. Responses default to active records; ?all_status includes inactive and withdrawn records. Null values and empty arrays or objects mean a field has no available value. informative
  2. At the recorded review, the client-ID page says new registrations are temporarily paused and rate limits are not differentiated by client-ID presence. A Client-Id identifies an API user; it is not authentication or authorization. informative
  3. The documented retrieval ceiling is 10,000 results. For the complete registry, the guide directs users to the data dump instead of paging beyond that ceiling. informative
  4. Use the query parameter for organization names or external identifiers, advanced query for fields such as domain or relationship, and affiliation for matching unstructured organization text to ROR IDs. informative
