Collect works metadata from ORCID.org
Adapted from a gist by @JasonGush, this is a Python script that collects works on ORCID from their API from a list of users affiliated with an institution on the NZ ORCID Hub and outputs them to a CSV file.
You'll need Python 3.6+ (and pip).
You'll need to obtain credentials from both the ORCID.org API and the NZ ORCID Hub API. For the latter, choose "Hub API Registration" from the "Settings" menu.
ℹ We suggest using the ORCID.org sandbox and Test Hub first. (See "Configuration" below.)
Install dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txtRename .env.sample to .env, and copy and paste your access keys and secrets into it at the appropriate lines. (.env is included in .gitignore, so it won't be committed.)
Run getORCIDToken.py to acquire a token. This will log to getORCIDtoken.log.
You should now be able to run the main script, getworks.py. (In VSCode, press F5.)
Set testing to True in getworks.py to have the script use the ORCID.org sandbox and test.orcidhub.org.nz.
The script uses python-decouple to maintain separation of settings (API keys and secrets) from code, in .env.
