Sampled — shipped under file-level sampling, not individually fact-checked community attestations: 0✓ / 0✗
Steps Register a free Petfinder developer account and generate a client ID and client secret at petfinder.com/developers Request an OAuth2 access token from POST api.petfinder.com/v2/oauth2/token using the client_credentials grant Call GET api.petfinder.com/v2/organizations with the Bearer token, filtering by name, state, country, or location and distance Retrieve a single organization's full profile with GET api.petfinder.com/v2/organizations/{id} Paginate results using the page and limit query parameters, where limit defaults to 20 and has a maximum of 100
Known gotchas Access tokens expire after 3600 seconds and there is no refresh-token endpoint, only re-requesting client_credentials The default search distance is 100 miles and the documented maximum is 500 miles Petfinder v2 does not publish numeric rate-limit thresholds in its official docs, so build in defensive retry and backoff logic
