PokéApi V2 Java Wrapper

The most robust PokéApi client. Written in Java with caching 🤖 and love 😍.

Install

Maven:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.github.oscar0812</groupId>
  <artifactId>pokeapi</artifactId>
  <version>1.0.0</version>
</dependency>

Examples

A simple example to get information on beautiful milotic

Pokemon milotic = Client.getPokemonByName("milotic");

Any client call can be converted to a call to the direct object, for example

// using client to call methods
Pokemon milotic = Client.getPokemonByName("milotic");

// using the Pokemon class directly
Pokemon milotic = Pokemon.getByName("milotic");

All method calls return the referenced object, allowing the chaining of method calls

Pokemon milotic = Pokemon.getByName("milotic");
System.out.println(milotic.getSpecies().getColor().setId(2).getId());

Cache

To speed up calls to online resources a local sqlite database is created to cache the responses. If a local copy of the API responses is not wanted, the feature can be disabled

Client.CACHE = false;
// ... etc ...

Cache can be set (or unset) even when using direct objects, and not the Client class

API List Limitations

All list methods (getXlist) return NamedAPIResourceList or APIResourceList instances by design. They do not return the information of each element in the list, just the name and the url. To overcome this you can fetch the API for each object.

NamedAPIResourceList list = Client.getMoveCategoryList(10, 0);
for (NamedAPIResource nar:list.getResults()) {
    // get the object information from API
    MoveCategory mc = MoveCategory.getByName(nar.getName());
    
    // getMoves() returns an ArrayList. The api does not return the complete 
    // information per object, but does set the url. The get function 
    // uses the url and fetches its information
    for(Move move: mc.getMoves()) {
        System.out.println(move.get());
    }
}
