Installation
------------

[](#installation)

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

```
composer require albawebstudio/petfinder-api
```

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

### Laravel without auto-discovery:

[](#laravel-without-auto-discovery)

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

```
albawebstudio\PetfinderApi\ServiceProvider::class,
```

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

#### Copy the package config to your local config with the publish command:

[](#copy-the-package-config-to-your-local-config-with-the-publish-command)

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="albawebstudio\\PetfinderApi\\ServiceProvider"
```

Using in Laravel Project
------------------------

[](#using-in-laravel-project)

You can implement the requests using the following instructions.

### Update .env

[](#update-env)

Append the following to the end of your `.env` file. You can find the API access information in the [Developer Settings](https://www.petfinder.com/user/developer-settings/) of your Petfinder account.

You can fetch your organization ID in several ways. Look at the [animal shelter and rescue](https://www.petfinder.com/animal-shelters-and-rescues/search/)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`.

```
# PETFINDER

PETFINDER_API_KEY=
PETFINDER_API_SECRET=
PETFINDER_ORGANIZATION_ID=
```

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

```
