GET
Get an affiliation

Path parameters

string
required
Affiliation type: institution, faculty, department or group.
string
required
Affiliation identifier. Examples: 03bp5hc83 (institution), 03bp5hc83_20 (faculty), 03bp5hc83_2_21620003_3154 (department), COL0001262 (group).

Query parameters

string
default:"full"
Level of detail of the response. full returns every field. summary returns only the entity’s main fields and, for products, patents and projects, cuts the author list to 10. Any other value returns 400.
max, page and sort do not apply.
The API does not validate affiliation_type: it returns the affiliation that matches affiliation_id with any type, even if it doesn’t match or doesn’t exist. For example, /affiliation/faculty/03bp5hc83 returns the institution, without an error. Use the right type: the parent affiliations included in affiliations depend on it.

Response

object
The requested affiliation.
object
Query metadata, with the same shape as in lists: count and size are 1, page is 1, cursor.next and cursor.previous are null, and db_response_time_ms is the database response time.
The identifier comes in _id, not in id as in the other entities. With view=summary, fields without data are left out.
