Hello all! I have noticed that some of our available animals do not return via the v5 api (either by ID directly or by search), but they do appear in the RescueGroups console and on the website via the toolkit. I was wondering if anyone has seen this before, and if there is some configuration that we are missing on certain animals but not others. For example,

This dog appears on our website (via the toolkit)

https://www.oaklandanimalservices.org/adopt/dogs/#action_0=pet&animalID_0=18169997&petIndex_0=6

But requesting via the API returns no results:

curl "https://api.rescuegroups.org/v5/public/animals/18169997" \
-H 'Authorization: REDACTED'

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Actually, looks like I'm able to get results for this animal in the V2 api- so must be something with V5!

Hi Richard,

I believe that I am having a similar issue with the OP. I have been experimenting with the API but the results are not matching what is displayed on the adoption toolkit on our website. When I investigated further it seems the following animal IDs are not returning any results when searching individually (or even in other search endpoints where they should be returned). I compared two listings in the admin portal to ensure there wasn't something I missed.

I've tried both endpoints (test and PROD) as follows, and still get zero results for the following animalIDs (18029117, 18029120, 18038129, 18038132, 17927576, 18377960)

{API HOST}/v5/public/orgs/3189/animals/{ID}
{API HOST}/v5/public/animals/{ID}

Thanks,
Josh

Hello Josh,

We have been experiencing an issue with data updates with our production v5 API. I'm checking this account right now (3189) to be sure the pets are updated.
