This seems overly simplified and I don't see how to exclude categories, templates or other configurations of PetScan. How about making all parameters optional and adding a PSID field that would run a more complex query?

Relying on the PSID would also help with support for when PetScan changes, queries shouldn't break if the PSID has a permalinked behavior. Wolfgang8741 says: If not you, then who?
