How to setup ORCID site-wide?

[luizborges]

I’m on OJS 3.3.0.3 and trying to setup the ORCID plugin using this guide https://docs.pkp.sfu.ca/orcid/en/installation-setup#site-wide-setup, but have a few questions:

• We don’t have access to the Member API, can I use my ORCID ID for the Public API site wide?

• What is the api_url? https://orcid.org/ , https://api.orcid.org/ or something else?

Hi @luizborges,

According to the ORCID documentation, you can use your ORCID ID to access the Public API:

Public API - ORCID

• they also give some instructions here on how to go about testing within their Public API (some of this is also discussed in our documentation as well).

Thanks @rcgillis,

I got it working in a single journal selecting the Public API option in the Plugin configuration page. I think it is safe to say that I can use it site-wite too, my only question then, is what do I fill it the api_url setting in config.inc.php?

Hi @luizborges

I think the url is https://pub.sandbox.orcid.org/ for the public sandbox and https://pub.orcid.org/ for the public API

I believe that is the case, as @hilongo points out. Just to be sure, I might ask if @JAspler and/or @Dulip_Withanage can confirm.

Hi all! @luizborges Apologies for the late reply. Were you able to sort this out with @hilongo’s response?

I believe that https://pub.orcid.org/ is correct for your purposes; @Dulip_Withanage would know better, and if not I could reach out to folks at ORCID to confirm.
