Has anyone been able to get MMM-PetFinder to work?

Has anyone been able to get MMM-PetFinder to work recently? I’m working on a gift for someone but it looks like the PetFinder API has changed since the last module update. Going through the documentation and I can’t get past the Token Request part. Has anyone else had any luck with this?

Do you use the fork fromPhantomOffKanagawa?
The module needs
request. Did you installed it vianpm install request? -
Hi @KristjanESPERANTO Yes, I tried both forks just to be sure. And going through the js files, everything looks like it should work fine. I think the issue might be with the API key/secret Petfinder game me, I can’t even get it to return token for me when testing in the terminal.
-
I just registered and got an API key. I entered it and the module works :-) I didn’t used the secret key.
I use the mentioned fork and installed
requestmanually. -
Ok, I must just be missing something then. I’ll try again. Thank you for checking.

Ok I’ve tried a couple installs starting completely over from scratch with fresh versions of Raspberry Pi OS, MagicMirror, Request, and MMM-PetFinder from PhantomOffKanagawa and I am still unable to get the module to work.
I am using a new Pi 5 and am installing MagicMirror using sdetweil’s script.
The only issues I see are related to Request. When I install it I get these issues below. But when searching on them I couldn’t find any solutions. Are these issues normal? Or is there anything else I’m missing?

@ChrisLeduex Never use sudo to install anything on your mirror. Ideally you want to be in the module folder that requires request, i…e
cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-PetFinder/. Once in the folder you want to then installrequest,npm i request. You can ignore the funding stuff. -
@ChrisLeduex you have to run
npm install requestin the module folder of the module missing it. not in the users hone folder
cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-PetFinder
also ignore the audit info, as there is more damage done trying audit fix

Awesome, thanks guys! It’s finally up and running.
One last question: Do you recommend updating npm?
Installing dependencies …

Since I prefer to have a somewhat up-to-date system, I make npm updates when I notice them. So far I haven’t had any problems with it.

@KristjanESPERANTO we dont test with uplevel npm. and try to stay in sync w the level of node we test on
this just adds to the complexity of support
