New major release coinciding with the release of v2.0 of the Petfinder API!
The legacy version of the Petfinder API, v1.0, will be retired in January 2020, therefore, the petpy library has
been updated almost from the ground up to be compatible as possible with the new version of the Petfinder API! The
new version of the Petfinder API is a huge improvement over the legacy version, with many changes and additions to
the design of the API itself.

Below is a summary of all the changes made in the release of petpy 2.0.

  • petpy now supports the latest release of Python 3.7
  • Support for Python 2.7 is discontinued as Python 2.7 will be officially discontinued in January 2020.
  • The following methods have been added to petpy to make it compatible with v2.0 of the Petfinder API.
    • animal_types() is used to getting animal types (or type) available from the Petfinder API. The release
      of v2.0 of the Petfinder API added several endpoints for accessing animal types in the Petfinder database.
      This method wraps both Petfinder API endpoints for getting animal types. More information on the animal type
      endpoints in the Petfinder API can be found in its documentation:
    • breeds() is the new method for getting available animal breeds from the Petfinder database. The API
      endpoint documentation is available on the Petfinder API documentation page.
    • animals() is the method for extracting animal data available on the Petfinder API and deprecates the
      pets() related methods. The method wraps both the animals and animal/{id} endpoints of the Petfinder API. The documentation for these endpoints can be
      found in the Petfinder API documentation:
    • organizations() is now the method for extracting animal welfare organization data available on Petfinder
      and deprecates previous shelter() related methods and endpoints. The organizations() method wraps both
      the Petfinder API organizations and organizations/{id} endpoints. The Petfinder API documentation for
      these two endpoints can be found below:
  • The following methods have been removed as they are no longer valid endpoints with the release of v2.0 of the
    PetFinder API.
    • pet_get_random()
    • shelter_list_by_breed()
    • shelter_get_pets()
  • General refactoring and code clean-up.
