Integration patterns
Built to disappear into your stack.
The VetVerifi API is headless infrastructure — no UI, no vendor lock-in, no opinionated workflow. You call an endpoint, we return structured data, you decide what to do with it. Whether you're verifying one pet at booking or sweeping 50,000 lease renewals overnight, the same API scales with you.
Pet owner books appointment in your CRM
Owner submits a reservation for their dog "Biscuit" for a bath & trim. Your system captures pet name, owner email, phone, and veterinarian contact on file.
Your system calls the VetVerifi API
Immediately on booking creation, your backend fires a verification request.
POST /v1/verifications
{
"pet_name": "Biscuit",
"owner_email": "owner@email.com",
"owner_phone": "615-555-0142",
"vet_name": "Green Hills Animal Hospital",
"required_vaccines": ["rabies", "bordetella", "dhpp"],
"appointment_date": "2025-06-14"
}VetVerifi returns verification status
The API checks against the VetVerifi clinic network and returns a structured response your system can act on immediately.
{
"verification_id": "vrf_a1b2c3d4",
"status": "verified",
"vaccines": {
"rabies": { "status": "current", "expires": "2026-03-10" },
"bordetella": { "status": "current", "expires": "2025-09-01" },
"dhpp": { "status": "current", "expires": "2026-01-15" }
},
"verified_by": "Green Hills Animal Hospital"
}Your system routes the booking based on result
Your CRM branches on the status field and takes the appropriate action automatically — no staff intervention needed for verified pets.
✓ Verified
Booking confirmed. Confirmation email sent to owner. Appointment added to schedule.
⚠ Pending / Unverified
Booking held. Owner notified to upload records or contact vet. 48h grace period.
✕ Expired
Booking blocked. Owner notified vaccines are overdue. Link to find in-network vet provided.
↻ Records Requested
VetVerifi sends automated outreach to the listed vet. Owner receives status update when records arrive.
For homegrown CRMs, call the API in your POST /reservations handler and store the verification_id on the reservation record. Webhook subscriptions (Growth tier+) can push status updates as records are resolved, removing the need to poll.

Build with an AI coding agent
Use your preferred AI coding agent to integrate the VetVerifi Partner API in an afternoon. Select your platform below to get the exact prompts.
4 prompts that get you from zero to a working vaccine verification integration in your pet care CRM.
Set up Claude with the right context
Before writing any integration code, give Claude Code a precise scope. These two prompts establish your stack and pull in the API spec.
PROMPT 1 — ESTABLISH SCOPE
"I'm integrating the VetVerifi Partner API into a [your CRM stack] pet care platform. The API base URL is api.vetverifi.com/v1. Help me scaffold a service module that handles vaccine record verification at booking time."
PROMPT 2 — FEED THE SPEC
"Here's the Partner API OpenAPI spec. Focus on the /verify and /status/:tagId endpoints. Generate a typed client with error handling for verified, pending, and expired states."
Pro tip: Drop your API key and base URL in a .env file first — ask Claude Code to wire it up via environment variables automatically.
Wire in the logic & ship the UI
Now that your client is scaffolded, use these prompts to build the booking-time verification flow and the status badge UI your staff will actually see.
Prompt 3 — Booking-time verification hook
"Add a verifyVaccinesOnBooking(petId, serviceType) function that calls the VetVerifi API, blocks the booking if status is expired, and triggers a records-request email if status is pending."
Prompt 4 — Status badge component
"Build a React component <VaccineStatusBadge /> that displays Verified ✓, Pending ⏳, or Expired ⚠ using the VetVerifi brand colors — green #9ec031, orange #ff9533, red #ef4444."
Bonus — Webhook listener
"Set up a POST /webhooks/vetverifi endpoint that listens for VetVerifi status-change events and automatically updates the pet record in my database when a vaccine record is verified."
A verified CRM in under an hour. Four prompts. One afternoon. Your platform goes from manually chasing vaccine records to real-time, automated compliance — powered by the VetVerifi network.
