Open Gaits now offers an open API you can use to build your stable or association website. You can find the documentation for it here (https://opengaits.com/api/api_guide.md).
Here is my api wrapper for anyone who wants to use it. :)
function og_api_wrapper($file, $filters = array()) {
if(in_array($file,array('horses', 'shows', 'members', 'studs'))) {
$api_url = 'https://opengaits.com/api/' . $file . '.php?per_page=100';
$response = file_get_contents($api_url);
$result = json_decode($response, true);
$data = array();
if ($result['ok']) {
$total_pages = $result['meta']['total_pages'];
for($page=1; $page <= $total_pages; $page++) {
$get_page = json_decode(file_get_contents($api_url . "&page=" . $page), true);
foreach ($get_page['data'] as $datum) {
if(!empty($filters)) {
$accept = false;
foreach($filters as $key => $value) {
if($datum[$key] == $value) {
$accept = true;
} else {
$accept = false;
break;
}
}
if($accept) { $data[] = $datum; }
} else {
$data[] = $datum;
}
}
}
return $data;
} else {
return false;
}
}
}

Super smooth and fast, she very very catty, and as her former trainer said "She'll cut a cow on a dime and toss you back 9 cents change!"
