Query parameter
ROR REST API v2This page documents v2 of the ROR REST API. For v1 documentation of the ROR REST API, see https://ror.readme.io/v1/docs/api-query. You can also read more about ROR API versions and a summary of what's new in Schema 2.0 and Schema 2.1.
Version 1 of the ROR schema and API will be sunset in December 2025In December 2025, version 1 of the ROR schema and API will be sunset, meaning that ROR API requests with v1 in the path will no longer return a response, v1 files will no longer be included in the ROR data dump, and v1 documentation will no longer be available. Read more in our changelog.
About the query parameter
The query parameter is a "quick search" of only the names and external_ids fields in ROR. The query parameter works best for the following purposes:
- Keyword-based searching for organization names
- Form field auto-suggests / typeaheads
- Searching for exact matches of an organization name
- Searching for external identifiers
We recommend using the query parameter to build ROR-powered typeaheads in forms that suggest organization names to users. The ROR Web search interface at https://ror.org/search also uses the query parameter.
Search results from the query parameter can be paged and filtered.
Query parameter format
https://api.ror.org/v2/organizations?query=[value]
Formatting searches
All request strings must be URL-encoded.
Special characters
Some organization names contain characters like &, (), : and /, which have special meaning in URI syntax, Elasticsearch syntax or both. To avoid error responses or bad results:
- Be sure to URL-encode all query parameter values.
- Escape any Elasticsearch reserved characters in the organization name with a URL-encoded backslash \ character. Reserved characters include
+ - = && || > < ! ( ) { } [ ] ^ " ~ * ? : \ /
Spaces and quotation marks
Elasticsearch query string syntax will treat words separated by a space as separate parts of a query. It is therefore advisable to surround multi-word search terms of the ROR API with URL-encoded quotation marks.
Keyword searching
The query parameter can be used to search for relatively unique keywords in organization names.
Example
curl 'https://api.ror.org/v2/organizations?query=Bath' | json_ppAs with retrieving a list of ROR records, the response is a JSON object containing full records for the first 20 search results, but this search produces only 17 results, so only 17 items are returned.

Remember that the query parameter does not search all fieldsThe query parameter searches only the
namesfield, which includes acronyms, aliases, and the organization names in various languages, and theexternal_idsfield. Results from keyword searches using the query parameter do not include values from fields such aslinksandlocations, for instance. To find organizations by website, location, or other criteria, use Filtering or the Advanced query parameter.
Exact string searching
Keyword searches can produce hundreds or thousands of results, especially when the string contains common terms in research organization names such as "University," "Health," or "Ministry." Surrounding a string with quotation marks will reduce the number of results in the response, limiting the results to records with exact matches to that string. Quotation marks must be URL-encoded.
Example
Compare the following searches to see the difference quotation marks make for multiple-term search strings with spaces. The first example shows a search for Bath College.
curl 'https://api.ror.org/v2/organizations?query=Bath%20College' | json_ppThis search looks for both the term "Bath" and the term "College" and returns over 4800 results because the term "College" appears in many organization names. A search on the single term "Bath" produces only 17 results, because it is a much less common term in organization names. The organization record for Bath College is the first of over 4800 results, but many factors can affect the order of results, so we strongly recommend against automatically selecting the first item in any list of search results.

Don't automatically choose the first result in a listThe first item is often but not always the best match or desired result for a given search of the ROR API. We advise against building tools that automatically select the first result in a list of records.
Searching for the exact term "Bath College" retrieves only records that contain that precise phrase in the names field. Remember that the names field can include names in several languages, acronyms, and aliases.
curl 'https://api.ror.org/v2/organizations?query=%22Bath%20College%22' | json_ppThe response returns 2 records: the record for Bath College and the record for Bath Spa University, which has the alias "Bath College of Higher Education".

Remember to URL-encode and if necessary escape special characters in multi-term search strings, as when searching for "Franklin & all College". The single & character is not reserved in Elasticsearch and therefore is not escaped.
curl 'https://api.ror.org/v2/organizations?query=%22Franklin%20%26%20Marshall%20College%22' | json_ppWhen the & is URL-encoded, the response returns the single record for Franklin & Marshall College. When the & is not URL-encoded, the response is an error.

}Searching for identifiers
The query parameter searches the external_ids field and so can be used to search for ROR records that match an external unique identifier. Use URL-encoded quotation marks before and after the identifier search string for best results. This search will work for all identifier schemes supported in the external_ids field, including GRID, ISNI, Wikidata, and the Crossref Open Funder Registry.
Example
Search for a ROR record corresponding to the GRID ID for the U.S. Department of Energy.
curl 'https://api.ror.org/v2/organizations?query=%22grid.85084.31%22' | json_ppThe response returns a single record for the U.S. Department of Energy that contains the searched-for identifier in external_ids.

}Retrieve records with any status
By default, queries of the ROR API return only records with active status. The all_status parameter can be appended to query parameter searches in order to retrieve inactive and withdrawn records as well as active records.
Example
curl 'https://api.ror.org/v2/organizations?query=Harvard&all_status' | json_ppThe response returns the results of a keyword search for "Harvard" that includes records of all status types.

}Technical details
The query parameter searches abbreviated Elasticsearch documents (called names_ids) that combine all the values from each ROR record's names and external_ids fields. Only the values, not the language code or type, are included. Field names are removed, and each value is simply categorized as a "name" or an "id".
Example
Here is a truncated example of a names_ids document searched by the query parameter.
"names_ids" : [
{
"name" : "University of Wisconsin–Madison"
},
{
"name" : "Université du Wisconsin à Madison"
},
{
"name" : "Universidad de Wisconsin-Madison"
