PyORCIDator is a wrapper for ORCID data for integration to Wikidata.

It currently only tries and import for each ORCID:

• Employment data (without titles and start and end date)
• Educational data (with titles and start and end date)

It generates a quickstatement with a standard English description of "researcher" and a occupation --> researcher statement.

The current features are on the development list:

• Adding authorship (P50) statements for all listed articles.
• Extract Google Scholar and Twitter IDs

To install PyORCIDator, run the easiest way is to clone the repository with:
