Getting Data

Once a ROM has been uploaded, the data is now queryable.

To get a Pokémon's name, send a request to the GET /v1/pokemon/names/:pokedex_id endpoint:

bash

curl \
    -H 'Authorization: Bearer <access_token>' \
    https://api.pkmnapi.com/v1/pokemon/names/1

const xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();

xhr.addEventListener('load', () => {
    console.log(xhr.response);
});

xhr.open('GET', 'https://api.pkmnapi.com/v1/pokemon/names/1', true);
xhr.setRequestHeader('Authorization', 'Bearer <access_token>');
xhr.send(null);

Here is the result:

{
    "data": {
        "id": "1",
        "type": "pokemon_names",
        "attributes": {
            "name": "BULBASAUR"
        },
        "links": {
            "self": "https://api.pkmnapi.com/v1/pokemon/names/1"
        }
    },
    "links": {
        "self": "https://api.pkmnapi.com/v1/pokemon/names/1"
    }
}
