PokéAPI

PokéAPI (pokeapi.co) is a free, open-source RESTful and GraphQL API serving comprehensive Pokémon data — including Pokémon species, abilities, moves, items, types, locations, evolution chains, encounters, berries, contests, games, and machines. Built as an educational tool licensed under BSD-3-Clause, it is community-funded via Open Collective and GitHub Sponsors, requires no authentication, and is hosted with a fair-use policy encouraging clients to cache responses locally. The API powers tutorials, fan apps, machine-learning experiments, and game tooling worldwide and consistently serves one billion-plus requests per month.

PokéAPI publishes 11 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Berries API, Contests API, Encounters API, and 8 more. Tagged areas include Pokémon, Open Source, Open Data, REST, and GraphQL.

The PokéAPI catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.

PokéAPI’s developer surface includes developer portal, getting-started guide, pricing, support, Stack Overflow tag, changelog, tooling, and 13 more developer resources.

GRAPHQL

Features 10

Notable capabilities this provider offers.

No Authentication

All endpoints are publicly accessible without API keys, tokens, or signup.

REST and GraphQL Interfaces

Choose REST under /api/v2 or GraphQL at beta.pokeapi.co/graphql/v1beta — same dataset, two access patterns.

Comprehensive Pokémon Dataset

Roughly 60 endpoints covering Pokémon, species, moves, abilities, items, berries, types, locations, encounters, evolution chains, contests, games, and machines.

Multi-Generation Coverage

Data spans every released generation of Pokémon games with version-specific and version-group-specific resource variants.

Multi-Language Localization

Names, flavor text, and descriptions are returned in multiple languages selectable via the Language utility resource.

Cacheable Resources

Resources are immutable game data — responses are highly cacheable, and the fair-use policy actively encourages clients to cache locally.

Pokémon Sprites Library

Companion sprites repo (PokeAPI/sprites) provides every official artwork, sprite, and shiny variant referenced by the REST responses.

Static Data Dump

PokeAPI/api-data publishes a static JSON snapshot of every resource for offline / build-time use cases.

Self-Hostable

Docker image, Kubernetes Kustomize manifests, and Firebase deployment scripts let teams run a private mirror.

Open Source (BSD-3-Clause)

Source code, sprites, GraphQL schema, and client wrappers are open source.
