Pokemon Rest/GraphQL API

šŸ—£ General Discussion

Hey everyone!

Recently Iā€™ve been trying to brush up on my knowledge of Postman and also learn some GraphQL. Iā€™ve always felt the best way to learn things like this is to do lots of little projects and so I found a cool little API that has a whole bunch of data on PokĆ©mon.

Iā€™ve worked with a similar API in the past in making a Discord bot, but nothing with Postman.

Hereā€™s a simple little collection I made that gets a PokĆ©mon by name or randomly by ID both through a RESTful API and a GraphQL endpoint.

What are some fun little APIs like this that you think are worth sharing with the community?

Hey @kcorb95! Iā€™m the same way, I love learning just by doing little projects :slight_smile:

I also love the collection you made! Well documented, easy to use, clear goal. Well done!

If youā€™re looking for more APIs to explore and practice, we have quite a few examples! Hereā€™s a public workspace with a list of Public REST APIs and for anyone specifically looking to explore more with GraphQL, I highly recommend this ā€œGraphQL examplesā€ public workspace as well! I particularly love the Rick and Morty API just because there are so many zany characters :laughing:

Itā€™s impressive how much has been collected there :laughing:
