Hi,

Could someone please tell me if you still support ftp and if you do what is the page url to support it? I would like to get daily ftp downloads of animals and organizations so I can use them for my app but can't seem to find the ftp server page. Also are there any special requirements to using it?

Thanks,

Greg

Greg,

Although we currently provide an FTP-based download of animal data, we strongly discourage developing an app using cached data. It's very likely in the near future we will deprecate the FTP-based downloads. We recommend using live queries against our API.

This is the documentation for the full download: https://userguide.rescuegroups.org/spaces/APIDG/pages/10813504/Complete+Adoptable+Pet+Data+Download+via+FTP
