Submitted by Martin Fenner on February 15, 2012 - 2:53pm

Version 1.0.3 of the ORCID Mock API was released today and can be downloaded at https://github.com/ORCID/ORCID-Mock-API-Web-Application. The biggest change is that the mime-types were changed to application/orcid+xml and application/orcid+json, the full list of changes can be found here.

The ORCID Mock API aims to provide an environment where developers can start to integrate ORCID into their systems before a release of the production environment. Like the production version, the mock supports tier 1 and tier 2 access. Tier 2 is protected using OAuth 2. Please note that searching has not been implemented in the Mock API.

The ORCID Mock API is a Java web application and is packaged as a 'war' file. Developers using over languages are also encouraged to install the Mock API, as installation is very easy using a Virtual Machine that includes Tomcat 7. Detailed instructions on installing and using the Mock API can be found here.
