API for determining which institution is using a DOI prefix (registrant code)

1

My understanding is that the “10.x” number associated with a DOI is a “prefix” or “registrant code”.

Given the following prefixes…

10.11587 10.11588 10.1313 10.14711 10.15139 10.15454 10.15787 10.17528 10.1813 10.18167 10.1817 10.1871 10.18738 10.21223 10.2141 10.21421 10.2195 10.21979 10.23685 10.23708 10.2534 10.25346 10.25545 10.25578 10.25625 10.26193 10.5064 10.5203 10.5683 10.7281 10.791 10.7939

… what can I learn about them using an API call? Can I learn which institution each prefix is associated with, for example?

I’m aware that there is an HTML landing page at https://dx.doi.org/10.11587 for example but it doesn’t tell me anything about the institution using that prefix (it’s used by https://aussda.at in case you’re wondering). Also, rather than scraping HTML, I would much rather have information in JSON or XML so I can easily parse it.

Use https://doi.org/ra/10.11587 to get the DOI registration agency. Then

Best,
