How MCC does the integration?
Application Programming Interface (API) is use to access resources - biographies, publications
Two kind of APIs:

Member (requires owner’s authorization)
ORCID API
Member
Requires access token resources - granted by the owner thru OAuth
Once granted, we can access API endpoints authorized by the owner - which include reading and updating resources
Development
Sandbox - Test ORCID APIs
Challenges

Many IDs available for researchers – Scopus, ReseacherID etc
How we overcome:
Outreach program – workshops, meetings
Social media
