Getting Started with Pet Adoptions
Getting Started with the Pet Adoptions API Workflow
This pet adoption workflow provides a comprehensive process to search for, select, and adopt a pet. Utilizing two APIs, it starts by searching for available pets based on location, then moves to adopt a selected pet, confirm the adoption, update the pet's status to adopted, and finally confirm the pet's status update. The workflow is designed to be both developer and user-friendly, providing clear steps and expected outcomes.

Developer Integration Guidance
Developers integrating this workflow should note:
- Authentication is crucial at each step, requiring a valid token.
- The sequence of steps must be followed precisely for successful execution.
- Proper error handling should be implemented to handle unsuccessful API calls or unmet success criteria.
- Developers must ensure the correct mapping and passing of parameters between steps, especially for dynamically derived values like
petId.
