UCSF Profiles JSON API

Open JSON API from the CTSI-operated UCSF Profiles research-networking platform, providing data on 8,000+ UCSF researchers, faculty, and postdocs: name, school, department, title, ORCID, education, research interests, publications, grants, and more. GET requests return JSON (v2), with CORS and JSONP support. A source parameter identifying the calling application is required; no advance permission is needed to begin, but developers are asked to contact UCSF before production use and to refresh cached data weekly.
