API / integration status

No public partner API for automated filing from PetFit yet.

Dedicated MCD citizen web app; no published open partner API. Integration would require NIC/MCD partnership.

National municipal platform reference: UPYOG Pet Registration (NIUA) — Open-source municipal pet registration module for Urban Local Bodies. Deployed per state/ULB (not a single national public API for all cities).

Why a single record hub matters

  • • Municipal licences need the same ARV PDFs you already store in PetFit.
  • • City rules differ — pick your city once, then follow one checklist.
  • • Official portals remain the source of truth for fees and filing.
