All eVTR software applications must meet specific technical requirements. Use this section to obtain information on eVTR format and content required by developers for building software.
This document provides the technical information that you need to satisfy the programming requirements for electronic reporting.
Guide documents the process for software development organizations to obtain certification to offer eVTR services to the fishing industry.
MS Excel file contains sample eVTR trips with data sets that test both typical and atypical scenarios. GARFO maintains an identical set of sample eVTR trips in our automated test system, so that we can verify how our API has managed them. This eliminates uncertainty both for developers and for GARFO personnel. Contact Lindsey Bergmann, Analysis and Program Support, (978) 282-8418 for Test Trips specific to lobster and Jonah crab reporting.
NOTE: Contact Lindsey Bergmann, (978) 282-8418, with questions about specific API implementations before committing organization resources to those implementations.
