# AKC Reunite

> Check whether a microchip is enrolled with AKC Reunite, and enroll it, from the animal record.

AKC Reunite is used from the animal record, by hand. Nothing is sent on a schedule, and that is on purpose: **an enrollment can cost your rescue money**, so a person presses the button.

## What it does

| Button                     | What happens                                                                                       |
| -------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Check with AKC Reunite** | Asks whether the microchip is already enrolled, and what enrolling it would cost. Nothing is sent. |
| **Enroll**                 | Enrolls the chip, to your organization or to the adopter.                                          |

## What you need

* A **username and password** for AKC Reunite's enrollment service.
* Your **enrollment source ID**, the ID they gave your organization. It looks like `88a1dfdf-a621-472a-ae3e-42dd96dc3770`.
* The **server address** they give you.

Ask AKC Reunite for API access if you have none yet.

## Set it up

<Steps>
  <Step title="Ask AKC Reunite for access">
    They issue the username, password and enrollment source ID together, and tell you which server to use.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add the integration">
    In RescueConsole, open **Settings → Advanced & security → Integrations**, find **AKC Reunite** under *Microchip registries*, and add it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter what they gave you">
    Type the **username**, **password** and **enrollment source ID**, and press **Save it**. The password is stored and never shown again.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the server">
    The **Server** box starts on AKC Reunite's test server, which is the only one their documentation names. When they give you the live one, put it here.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Test the connection">
    **Test the connection** signs in and reports back in their own words.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  This is built from AKC Reunite's own document and has not yet been run against their servers, because they had not issued credentials when it was written. Check the first enrollment against their records before you rely on it.
</Warning>

<Note>
  The server box starts on their **test** server. A chip enrolled there is not enrolled in real life. Change it to the live address as soon as they give you one.
