How do I register a webhook?

March 3, 2020 By Paula Demain

Webhooks can be registered by premium members against any ORCID record in the registry. The steps are:

Encode the URL

URL-encode the URL that you want ORCID to call when the user’s record is updated. For example the following URL:

https://nowhere2.com/0000-0002-7465-2162/updated

becomes

https%3A%2F%2Fnowhere2.com%2F0000-0002-7465-2162%2Fupdated

Build the URL

Build the full URL for the ORCID API call starting with the URL of the ORCID record then adding “/webhook” and the URL you want called. So it should look like https://api.sandbox.orcid.org/{ORCID}/webhook/{URL-ENCODED-WEBHOOK-URL}

For example, using the webhook URL above and the ORCID iD 0000-0002-7465-2162, the full URL is:

https://api.sandbox.orcid.org/0000-0002-7465-2162/webhook/https%3A%2F%2Fnowhere2.com%2F0000-0002-7465-2162%2Fupdated

Register the webhook

Use your webhooks’ access token to register your webhook against the user’s ORCID record. You need to use an HTTP PUT request, but you should not include anything in the body of the request.

URL= https://api.sandbox.orcid.org/0000-0002-7465-2162/webhook/https%3A%2F%2Fnowhere2.com%2F0000-0002-7465-2162%2Fupdated
   HEADER: Accept: application/json
   HEADER: Authorization: Bearer [Your access token]
   HEADER: Content-Length: 0
   METHOD: PUT

The response should be a 201 Created, but if the callback already existed, then the response will be 204 No Content.

HTTP/1.1 201 Created
Server: nginx/1.1.19
Connection: keep-alive
Location: https://api.sandbox.orcid.org/0000-0002-7465-2162/webhook/https%3A%2F%2Frequestb.in%2Fz57lzcz5
