FAQ

Questions PokéAPI owners ask.

  • 01

    Do I need a Pokémon Trainer Club account or API key?

    No! PokéAPI is a completely free, open-source project. No authentication, no rate limits, no registration required.

  • 02

    Can I look up Pokémon by name or ID number?

    Yes! Both work perfectly. Use get_pokemon with either the Pokédex number (e.g., "25") or the name (e.g., "pikachu").

  • 03

    Can I see a Pokémon's full evolution chain?

    Yes! Use get_pokemon_species to get the species data which includes the evolution chain ID, then use get_evolution_chain to see the full family tree with all evolution conditions and requirements.
