└── readme.md /readme.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | ## pokego-scan 2 | 3 | Node package to scan pokemon through PokeVision's API. 4 | 5 | This package uses PokeVision's internal API to query the location 6 | of pokemon close to the given coordinates. As [PokeVision's service](https://pokevision.com/), 7 | no authentication is required. 8 | 9 | This project is not endorsed in any way by PokeVision or Niantic, 10 | use it at your own risk. 11 | 12 | ### CLOSED PROJECT DISCLAIMER 13 | 14 | I'm closing this project, since PokeVision has kept asking me to do so. I built it for fun, and since they are against people using their internal API this way, I don't feel comfortable making it publicly available anymore. Apologies to everyone using it. 15 | 16 | I'm not sure about the proper etiquette for deleting active projects from GitHub, so I'm leaving this readme to let everyone using it know. 17 | 18 | ### Alternatives to PokeVision 19 | 20 | If you would like to look for alternatives to PokeVision's API, you can take a look at the [tobiasbueschel/awesome-pokemon](https://github.com/tobiasbueschel/awesome-pokemon) list. A great self-hosted Pokemon GO map that may match your needs is [AHAAAAAAA/PokemonGo-Map](https://github.com/AHAAAAAAA/PokemonGo-Map). And if you are looking for a Pokemon GO API made for Node, [Armax/Pokemon-GO-node-api](https://github.com/Armax/Pokemon-GO-node-api) appears to stand out. 21 | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
