PokéAPI

If you were using v1 of this API, please switch to v2 (this page). Read more…

Quick tip: Use your browser's "find on page" feature to search for specific resource types (Ctrl+F or Cmd+F).

Information

This is a consumption-only API — only the HTTP GET method is available on resources.

No authentication is required to access this API, and all resources are fully open and available. Since the move to static hosting in November 2018, rate limiting has been removed entirely, but we still encourage you to limit the frequency of requests to limit our hosting costs.

Fair Use Policy

PokéAPI is free and open to use. It is also very popular. Because of this, we ask every developer to abide by our fair use policy. People not complying with the fair use policy will have their IP address permanently banned.

PokéAPI is primarily an educational tool, and we will not tolerate denial of service attacks preventing people from learning.

Rules:

  • Locally cache resources whenever you request them.
  • Be nice and friendly to your fellow PokéAPI developers.
  • If you spot security vulnerabilities act and report them responsibly.

Slack and community

Currently no maintainer has enough free time to support the community on Slack. Our Slack is in an unmaintained status. You can still sign up right here then visit our Slack page.

Resource Lists/Pagination (group)

Calling any API endpoint without a resource ID or name will return a paginated list of available resources for that API. By default, a list "page" will contain up to 20 resources. If you would like to change this just add a 'limit' query parameter to the GET request, e.g. ?limit=60. You can use 'offset' to move to the next page, e.g. ?limit=60&offset=60. characteristic, contest-effect, evolution-chain, machine, super-contest-effect endpoints are unnamed, the rest are named.
