Configure the API keys required to make calls to the Petfinder API service, located under Configuration > System > Petfinder (admin/config/system/petfinder). If you don't already have API keys, they can be created by going to http://www.petfinder.com/developers and registering with the service.

Documentation

TODO

  • Build a companion module using Boxes (http://drupal.org/project/boxes) that can pull in animal and shelter records for use in pages
  • Work with Petfinder.com to see if I can add push capabilities to allow sites to upload new animal adoption listings to the service
  • Anything else that people suggest!
