Scripts

Python Libraries Used

• Pykemon (PokeAPI)
• Requests
• json
• tweepy
• BeautifulSoup
• re (regex)
• MySQLdb
• urllib

from __future__ import print_function
import os
import requests
import json
from pprint import pprint

if not os.path.exists("data/pokedex.json"):
	f = open("data/pokedex.json", "w")
	pokedex = requests.get("http://pokeapi.co/api/v1/pokedex/1/")
	pokejson = pokedex.json()
	with f as output_file:
		json.dump(pokejson, output_file)
	print("Called the API")
else:
	print("Reading from file")
	with open("data/pokedex.json") as data_file:
		jdata = json.load(data_file)
		pprint(jdata['pokemon'][0])
	print("... and many more")

Next Steps:

• Insert JSON data into DB
• Represent critical effects
• Restructure moves / pokemon / types relationship
• Randomize Pokemon Interactions
