Using ORCID to obtain bibliographic data for coauthor network analysis
Unfortunately, you cannot directly obtain co-author data via ORCID's API alone.
But there is a workaround. You can make use of other Persistent Identifiers (PIDs) that you read out of ORCID's data (keyword &quot;linked open data&quot;). That is, using ORCID, you can first fetch the DOIs of an author's publications, and then, in a second step, use CrossRef's API (as in https://api.crossref.org/works/{doi}, here is an example) to save the names and ORCIDs of the co-authors of their publications.
