Here I talk about the first public API for the PoGoAPI.net<\/a> website and what it does.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

First Public API and Documentation<\/h2>\n

Today I have launched the first public API for PoGoAPI.net<\/a> and the associated (short) documentation for it. Earlier I talked about launching the domain and some of the plans for it<\/a>\u00a0and here is the first simple API.<\/p>\n

This will act as a beginning to a series of API’s that I will publish. As noted on the previous blog post I am looking to publish a number of API’s to allow people to easily create new tools and scripts for Pokemon Go.<\/p>\n

When publishing the data I am bearing in mind the open data principles. For PoGoAPI.net I am going to be publishing the data in at least a 3-star open data format<\/a>. This requires the data be freely available in a non-proprietary\u00a0format. This is why I am using JSON for this data.<\/p>\n

Get Pokemon Go Names and ID’s<\/h2>\n

The first API is a simple one to just get a list of all pokemon, their names and ID’s. This can be combined with other API’s to turn the pokemon ID into a human-readable label.<\/p>\n

GET\u00a0\/api\/v1\/pokemon_names.json<\/code><\/h3>\n

Returns a json dict with the keys being the pokemon ID, the values is an array containing the pokemon name and id.<\/p>\n

Example data<\/h3>\n

{ 1: { id: 1, name: \"Bulbasaur\" }, 2: { id: 2, name: \"Ivysaur\" }, 3: { id: 3, name: \"Venusaur\" }, ... }<\/code><\/p>\n

The full documentation\u00a0is available on the PoGoAPI.net documentation\u00a0page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you have any questions about this API, or suggestions for other API’s contact me here below or on Twitter!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
