Pokenode-tsA typed PokéAPI client with zero runtime dependencies

Built on native fetch, so it runs in Node, Deno, Bun, browsers, and edge runtimes.

Typed end to end

Every endpoint, every field, straight from the PokéAPI schema. A weekly job diffs those types against the live API and opens an issue when one drifts.

Get started

🔗

Links, followed

PokéAPI answers with { name, url } refs instead of data. resolve(pokemon.species) hands back the species, typed. resolveAll() takes the whole list, four requests at a time.

Walk a whole section

paginate('listPokemons') iterates all 1,351 of them and keeps track of the offset. Break out of the loop and it stops fetching.

Cached from the first call

The PokéAPI's fair-use policy asks you to cache. This does, in memory, out of the box. Swap in Redis, a KV namespace or localStorage, or switch it off.

Caching

🌐

Runs anywhere

Node, Deno, Bun, browsers, Cloudflare Workers. Native fetch, zero dependencies, ~11 kB gzipped.

Requirements

🛡️

Survives a bad network

Opt-in retries with jittered backoff that honors Retry-After. Timeouts and cancellation through with(), where a shared request lives until its last caller gives up.
