GraphQL Pokemon API
Overview
GraphQL Pokemon API is a fully-featured GraphQL endpoint covering all Pokemon data through Generation 8, including abilities, moves, evolutions, and type matchups. No API key is required, making it approachable for beginners. If you have never used GraphQL, this is an excellent hands-on API to learn query syntax with a fun, familiar dataset.
Beginner Tip
Unlike REST APIs, GraphQL requires you to send a POST request with a JSON body containing your query string. Use the GraphQL Playground at the API URL to test queries interactively before writing code.
