PHPokéAPI

A PHP7.1+ wrapper for PokéAPI. This package offers the possibility to query the majority of the PokéAPI endpoints (see exceptions below). It supports caching of responses and lazy-loading relations.

Installation

composer require lmerotta/phpokeapi

Basic Usage

UsePokeAPIClient to query the endpoints directly through the named methods.

<?php use PokeAPIClient; $client = new Client(); // Returns a PokeAPIPokemonSpecies instance $species = $client->species('bulbasaur'); // or $client->species(1);

You can then traverse the returned object. All its relations will be proxies, and won't make any new requests to the API except if you explicitly call one of their getters

<?php // ... $species->getName(); // 'bulbasaur' $growthRate = $species->getGrowthRate(); // A proxy of PokeAPIPokemonGrowthRate $growthRate->getName(); // Here the real API call to the GrowthRate endpoint is made

All the requests made are cached, so you won't have to query twice for the same dataset.

PokeAPIClient

The PokeAPIClient takes 3 optional parameters:
