In April 2024, the ROR (Research Organization Registry) released version 2 of the ROR API and schema. What is the timeline of transition to version 2?
Week of July 28, 2025
ROR API requests with no version in the path will default to v2 instead of v1
This may be a breaking change for applications that use the ROR API with the expectation of a version 1 response, so ROR highly recommends reviewing your ROR API requests and making any necessary updates.
You can continue to retrieve version 1 responses by specifying “v1” in the request:
- No version in the path: https://api.ror.org/organizations
- Version in the path: https://api.ror.org/v1/organizations
Early or mid-December 2025
- V1 documentation will no longer be available
- 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
