GET/api/v1/researchers/:authorId

Researcher Profile

researchersNo success wrapper

Profile document for a researcher (principal investigator) resolved to an OpenAlex author. Use trial documents or pi_author_id results from the registry search to obtain an author id. The author id must come from a real source - there is no name-to-id resolution, so never invent one; invalid id formats return HTTP 400 and an id not in the resolved-researcher registry returns HTTP 404.

When to use it

  • profile for a principal investigator
  • metadata for an OpenAlex author id
