PokéAPI (GraphQL) API
Overview
PokéAPI GraphQL is an unofficial GraphQL wrapper around the popular PokéAPI REST service, letting you query Pokémon data using GraphQL syntax. It allows you to request only the specific fields you need in a single query, which can be more efficient than multiple REST calls. No API key is required to use it.
Beginner Tip
If you are new to GraphQL, use the built-in GraphiQL playground at the endpoint URL to explore the schema and test queries interactively before writing code. Start with a simple query to fetch a single Pokémon by name.
