Start with a working example

These sample requests use a curated public GET endpoint. Provider access, rate limits, and availability can change.

JavaScript Fetch

const response = await fetch("https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/pokemon/pikachu", {
  headers: { Accept: 'application/json' },
});
if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`HTTP ${response.status}`);
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);

PHP with cURL

<?php

$url = 'https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/pokemon/pikachu';
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt_array($ch, [
    CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
    CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 15,
    CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => ['Accept: application/json'],
]);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
if ($response === false) {
    $error = curl_error($ch);
    curl_close($ch);
    throw new RuntimeException($error);
}
$status = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_RESPONSE_CODE);
curl_close($ch);
if ($status >= 400) throw new RuntimeException("HTTP {$status}");
$data = json_decode($response, true, 512, JSON_THROW_ON_ERROR);
print_r($data);

Command line cURL

curl --fail --silent --show-error --get 'https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/pokemon/pikachu'
