GraphQL Query to Run

you can visit /api/graphql on your running NextJS instance to see everything available to you through the GraphQL implementation we setup.

You can run this query to get a list of Pokemon in the System.

{
    listPokemon(itemsPerPage: 3, pageNo: 1) {
        id
        name
        height
        weight
        species {
            habitat {
                name
            }
            color {
                name
            }
        }
        sprites {
            official_artwork_front_default
        }
        types {
            name
        }
        abilities {
            name
            is_hidden
        }
    }
}

Note

To make this api more responsive, we have setup an SQLite3 Database to cache responses from the RestfulAPI. The means that the first time you call an endpoint with a set of parameters, the response may be slow, but subsequent requests to the same endpoint with the same parameters will be quick.
