Re: [EP-tech] report on how many users with ORCIDs in our repository, but limited by year/date.

CAUTION: This e-mail originated outside the University of Southampton.
I was able to construct an SQL query that does the job, it's this:

SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM user
WHERE orcid IS NOT NULL
  AND orcid != ''
  AND orcid_token_expires_year IS NOT NULL
  AND orcid_token_expires_year <= 2044;

Then I spent the rest of the day trying to extract this same info using the EPrints API / Perl script, and I just couldn't get it to work!   One error after another after another...  defeat after defeat.  AI coding bots had equally little success.  I think the info is in a field in the user object called orcid_token_expires, but how to extract the info to get that same information proved too much.  I will try again, just because now I have to get it, but if anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated!

Sorry Tomasz,

To my understanding, the token is valid for 20 years, so it should be before 1/1/2045, (epoch time 2366841600)  but my fingers apparently couldn’t type the right date in the email last week…

 

Alan.

Thank you Alan!  That's clever, but I'm not if I understand.  The reason why it's before 01/01/2046 is because of the default length of time that the ORCID token is valid for? How do I go from "up to the end of 2024" to 01/01/2046 ?  

I suppose there is no date recorded in EPrints when the ORCID was synched/added to the repository?

Possibly extract from the user table by token expiry date before 1/1/46 ? (epoch 2366841600)

Hi everyone!  

 

I need to extract how many users have synched/added an ORCID in our repository, which the ORCID plugin already provides, but I need to have that limited by date.  So, I need to report how many ORCIDs up until the end of 2024.  Next year, I will need up until 2025, etc.  Any suggestions on how I can get that data out of our repo?
