Pokemon Data Scraper

I wanted to make different Pokemon projects, so I scraped the data. Here it is, have fun!

• pokedex_raw.json and pokedex.json have same data
• Just that pokedex_raw.json is all in one line
• Whilst I've properly formatted pokedex.json

Brief Explanation

• First of all, requests and json already come with python, so there is no need for requirements.txt
• I've added comments and that cover everything in detail

How code works

1. A request is sent to Pokemon API followed by pokemon's id

2. Then convert the response to json

3. poke{} dictionary/map holds data for current pokemon

   • id
   • name
   • height
   • weight
   • xp
   • image_url Pokeres

4. abilities[], stats[] and types[] hold data of abilities, stats and types of current pokemon and then, assigned to current pokemon

   • poke['abilities'] = abilities
   • poke['stats'] = stats
   • poke['types'] = types

5. Then, the current poke{} is assigned to pokemons{} with the key of pokemon's name

   • pokemons[poke['name']] = poke

6. Finally, pokemons{} is converted to json and stored in a .json file
