Thanks for the responses so far.
One thing that I forgot to mention is that the authors I'm going to be
needing data for are faculty, librarians and technologists at liberal
arts universities. So there's not a whole lot of medicine; which is
unfortunate as they seem to have robust APIs in place.

It's been super useful for my purposes, though I've been searching based on
article DOIs, not on authors. You might need to do a bit more parsing of
the results to make sure you don't have false hits with author names.

Subject: [CODE4LIB] API to retrieve scholarly publications by author
Hi list,
What are some good API options for retrieving a list of scholarly
publications by author?
I would like to be able to grab them and display them on a website along
with other information about each author.
Google Scholar does not have a public API as far as I can tell.
CrossRef metadata search does not allow to search by author.
Orcid seems promising. I would have to ask the users I have in mind to
add
or import their publications to Orcid, as most of them are not on there
already. That's doable, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to do what I
described above with their public (as opposed to their member) API.
Any other ideas or thoughts?
Best,
Alex Armstrong
