README

ORCID's public API for omniscient/omnischolar: who a researcher says they are - names, biography, keywords, pages - their CV - employments, education, qualifications, invited positions, distinctions, memberships, services - and the works on their record, each in the version they prefer, with its contributors. No key.

$orcid = (new OrcidSourceFactory($http))->create();
$author = $orcid->author('0000-0002-1825-0097');
$author->affiliations(Affiliation::EMPLOYMENT);          // the CV
$orcid->works('0000-0002-1825-0097');
