What is the chemical that causes toads to lay eggs?

If I recall, an injection causes ovulation. Apparently the male does not require prompting. Where do you get it? Yes, I know Toads are not reptiles, but this looked like the best site.

human chorionic gonadotropin when injected into female African Clawed Frogs (Xenopus Laevis) causes the frogs to ovulate, this was used as a pregnancy test in the 1950’s before modern tests were available. So it’s not far-fetches that this same hormone could cause toads to ovulate as well.
