I’m using a non-certified service provider system, how do I get Production Member API credentials?
Member organizations request ORCID Member API credentials on the production (live) server by completing the Production Member API client application form. If you are using a vendor system that is not on the list of ORCID Certified Service Providers, your integration will need to undergo a review process to guarantee that the minimum requirements for integration and best practices are met.
You can contact your non-certified Service Provider and obtain evidence directly from them that the minimum criteria are met. You will need to send this evidence to the ORCID Engagement team or your Consortia Lead.
There are a few ways to share this evidence:
- Screencast or screenshots: Send a recording or a set of screenshots with descriptions clearly explaining and demonstrating how your integration works at each step, including what happens if a user denies access or disconnects their iD. Be sure to provide additional documentation to verify anything we would not be able to see from the user end, such as API version used and how data is stored.
- Publicly available integration documentation: Submit a publicly accessible and up-to-date link that includes a clear description of how the integration works at each step. As in option 1, be sure to provide additional documentation to verify anything we would not be able to see from the user end, such as API version used and how data is stored.
