>>> print john.family_name
wilbanks
What if you'd like to see an author's works or areas of interest? ::
>>> print john.keywords
[]

[]
Hm, let's try another author. ::
>>> alfonso = orcid.get('0000-0001-8855-5569')
>>> print alfonso.keywords
[u'computer science', u' bioinformatics', u' computational biology']
>>> print alfonso.publications[0]
<Publication "A note about norbert wiener and his contribution to harmonic analysis and tauberian theorems">
Maybe you'd like to read about Mr. Wiener's contributions? ::

If you'd rather search for authors, try ORCID's search functionality using its API specification :
>>> #do a simple author search for john
>>> authors = orcid.search('family-name:wilbanks+AND+given-names:john')
>>> print next(authors).family_name
wilbanks
