PokeAPI
PokeAPI is a free, open-source API that provides structured Pokémon game data via REST and GraphQL. It includes endpoints for species, moves, items, abilities, evolution chains, types, locations, and more. The REST v2 API is stable and requires no authentication, while the GraphQL beta has limited hourly usage.
