Get employment, etc.

[rcpeters]

Everything you asked for is in both APIs curl -H'Accept: application/xml' http://pub.orcid.org/v1.2/0000-0002-0337-5997/orcid-profile

[sckott]

hey brian :) let me check - what exactly can you not get at?

[sckott]

Its a complicated set of APIs - it's possible that we need to use authencation to get that information. The docs seem to indicate that any public data is available in the API calls - but employment etc. stuff isn't there - I'll keep loolking

[bomeara]

I can get my works, and my email and url, but not employment history, funding, or education.

i.e., dput(orcid_id(orcid = "0000-0002-0337-5997", profile="bio")) shows all I get from bio, but doesn't include this, nor does the full dump of dput(orcid_id(orcid = "0000-0002-0337-5997", profile="profile")).

FWIW, this is my overall profile, which has this info: http://orcid.org/0000-0002-0337-5997 .

[bomeara]

And this is a "nice to have" sort of thing: obviously I can just write this info the old-fashioned way into a CV (and it hopefully won't change as fast as publications). Just seems logical to have a way to grab this from ORCID if it already exists.

[sckott]

And this is a "nice to have"

right, but needs to be sorted 🔧

[bomeara]

It may be that their 2.0 API has this, but not their 1.2. https://github.com/ORCID/ORCID-Source/tree/master/orcid-model/src/main/resources/record_2.0_rc1

[bomeara]

Thanks, @rcpeters. So it could just be a matter of having rorcid process this info (while not ruling out that it already does, and I just missed this somewhere in its output).

[sckott]

ah, looks like I was dropping orcid-activities

[sckott]

@bomeara reinstall devtools::install_github("ropensci/rorcid")

library(rorcid)
res <- orcid_id("0000-0002-0337-5997")
res$`0000-0002-0337-5997`$`orcid-activities`

[bomeara]

Perfect! Well done. Thanks, @sckott & @rcpeters!

[sckott]

glad it works.

[mfenner]

Great stuff. You might also consider pulling in info from some of the places that build profiles using ORCID, e.g. ImpactStory or Europe PMC (http://europepmc.org/authors/0000-0002-0337-5997). The latter has no API yet.

Something I am working on with ORCID is pushing (authenticated) GitHub usernames into the ORCID profile from DataCite, so in the future you will also fetch that info from ORCID and can build something nice around it. E.g. using Depsy.

[sckott]

Good ideas, but do want to stick to ORCID in this pkg - perhaps a different pkg could combine them
