Production Member API credentials are available to ORCID members only but anyone can apply for Sandbox Member API credentials.
If you are using an ORCID certified service provider system that already supports ORCID or your integration has been reviewed by the ORCID team then you can apply for Production Member API credentials by completing the client application request form.
You will need to fill in the form to register a client application. Below is a quick overview of the requested fields:
Name of organization: Your ORCID member organization name
Primary contact email address for credentials: We will use this email address to send you the credentials in an encrypted email, and to contact you if any questions or errors come up with your integration
Secondary email for password: An email address that we can send your encrypted email password to.
Name of your client: This will be your ORCID member organization name. If you have more than 1 integration then we will append the application to the name.
URL of the homepage of your application: Displayed as a link on the list of trusted organizations within the users ORCID trusted parties page. This should be a link back to your organization or the main page of your application.
Short description of your client application: This text will be displayed on the authorization screen with the question mark icon to your integration users. A short description of your integration is required
Redirect URIs: Once the user has authorized your application, they will be returned to a URI that you specify. You must provide these URIs in advance or your integration users will experience an error.
