Right now I have the ORCiD plugin configured in config.inc.php site-wide like this:

;;;;;;;;;
; ORCID ;
;;;;;;;;;

[orcid]

api_url = https://orcid.org/
client_id = APP-myappid
client_secret = mysecret

It works correctly, although I had to manually disable it on the “main” site, and then enable it on each journal page, as it would otherwise break the site-wide registration page.

Hi @SquishyLeaf,

The api_url setting needs to be one of the following (exactly):

  • https://pub.orcid.org/ (public API, production)
  • https://orcid.org/ (public API, production)
  • https://pub.sandbox.orcid.org/ (public API, sandbox)
  • https://sandbox.orcid.org/ (public API, sandbox)
  • https://api.orcid.org/ (member API, production)
  • https://api.sandbox.orcid.org/ (member API, sandbox)

Hi Alec,

Thanks. I tried both https://orcid.org/ (as mentioned in my original post), and https://pub.orcid.org/ and both resulted in the same error.

I looked at the apiUrlToApiType(string $apiUrl): string function mentioned in the error, and when it’s called, the $apiUrl is an empty string. I could hardwire it to return 'publicProduction', but I’m not sure if this wouldn’t cause some issues later.
