Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

Require this package with composer. It is recommended to only require the package for development.

Laravel uses Package Auto-Discovery, so doesn't require you to manually add the ServiceProvider.

Laravel without auto-discovery:

If you don't use auto-discovery, add the ServiceProvider to the providers array in config/app.php

You can also set in your config with Petfinder API key, API secret and organization ID with .env vars.

Using in Laravel Project

You can implement the requests using the following instructions.

Update .env

Append the following to the end of your .env file. You can find the API access information in the Developer Settings of your Petfinder account.

You can fetch your organization ID in several ways. Look at the animal shelter and rescue page and search for your organization. In the "shelter search results", hover over the search icon in the "Pet List" column. Your organization ID is the value after shelter_id=.

For example, if you hover over and see the following URL https://www.petfinder.com/pet-search?shelter_id=MN452, your organization ID is MN452.

Create a new controller for making the API requests. Our example we have created a controller PetfinderApiController.

The next step is to generate a new controller for fetching the animals data. We created a controller AnimalController.

*Note: The controller will extend the PetfinderApiController.

The AnimalController has the methods necessary to find all the animal information currently available through the Petfinder API. Be sure to check out all the query parameters available.

You have the option to generate a new controller for fetching the organizations data. We created a controller OrganizationController.
