Every Institution Has An Id Screensaver
The Every Institution Has An Id screensaver shows institutions from the Research Organization Registry, key-less. The v2 schema is not the one most examples show: there is no name field and no country field — names are a list of objects where the display name is tagged ror_display, and the country sits under locations geonames details. Reading v1 field names against a v2 response yields null everywhere rather than an error. It's free, runs in your browser, and ESC exits.
How the Every Institution Has An Id screensaver works
The saver reads the source described above and draws it on a canvas — no account, no tracking.
