How do I read an ORCID record?

This example call retrieves a summary of the full ORCID record in XML format using the member API on the sandbox server. You need an access token to make an API requests to the Public or Member API.

Method: GET
Accept: application/vnd.orcid+xml 
Authorization type and Access token: Bearer [Stored access token]
URL: https://api.sandbox.orcid.org/v3.0/[ORCID iD]/record

The API will return a 200 OK message, indicating that the request was received successfully, and the full summary of the ORCID record, including summaries of individual items

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
  <record:record path="/0000-0001-2345-6789" xmlns:internal="https://www.orcid.org/ns/internal" [...]>
     <funding:funding-summary put-code="4413" path="/0000-0001-2345-6789/funding/4413" visibility="public" display-index="0">
  [...] 
  </record:record>

Each item (work, funding, employment etc) has a put code. This can be used to obtain full details of the item if needed.
