Petfinder_Ruby

Test Gem that assists with interacting with the Petfinder REST API. For a more robust gem, see here.

To install to a gemfile:

gem 'petfinder_ruby'

And then bundle:

bundle

Or to install manually:

gem install petfinder_ruby

Create a file in your config/initializers directory:

# config/initializers/petfinder_ruby.rb
Petfinder.configure do |config|
  config.client_id = "your_client_id"
  config.client_secret = "your_client_secret"
end

This will configure Petfinder using your client ID and client secret (both of which can be obtained here. It's recommended to secure your client ID and client secret by hiding them as environment variables. See the Figaro Gem for assistance with that.

Gem currently supports two different requests for the Petfinder API.

Get Organization Info:

Petfinder::Client.get_organization("your_org_id")

Get Adoptable Animals from an organization:

Petfinder::Client.get_adoptable_animals_by_organization("your_org_id")
