PetPoint Web Services

Is anyone familiar with the use of PetPoint's Web Services to pull animal listings to Squarespace? The only things I can find are wordpress plugins.

Hi @colinsteinke Unfortunatley they don't have any integration/Service for squarespace yet 😞 Also there is no way around to get it done.

I thought that might be the case, unfortunately. Looking through the Wordpress plugin code and inspecting pages that are using the Web Services currently told me it probably wasn't do-able, but figured I'd ask. 

This is what we're trying to do: https://boulderhumane.org/cats/

I can provide other examples, but that one is nice. 

This is what we currently are able to do: https://www.madisoncatproject.org/browse-indoor

I'm unclear if we can actually add the XML to our page and get it to parse the records correctly. PetPoint itself is unaware of anyone with a Squarespace site who has successfully done it...but you'd think there would be SOME way, correct? 

Ultimately, we're trying to parse individual records by a specific animal stage, so it pulls everyone who has that animal stage to the website for browsing, without having to use an iframe. We'd like to be able to control picture size and font and such and just have it look much nicer. 

I can share their web services guide if that's helpful.

Hi Colin, could you provide any documentation you can find on PetPoints Web Service Guide or other tools? We’re trying to build a custom report and wondering they have any resources/APIs I could use. Otherwise I’m thinking of maybe developing some sort of selenium based script

Hey @colinsteinke! 

We're actually looking to integrate PetPoint to display shelter animal listings on our custom website as well. Could you share the web services guide? Thanks!
