<p>In 2014 I created <a href="https://pokeapi.co/">PokeAPI</a> to demonstrate good HTTP API design. At the time, nothing like <a href="https://www.openapis.org/">OpenAPI</a> existed. PokeAPI was supposed to be a &quot;pure&quot; HTTP API with hyperlinks to other resources.</p>

<p>However, it got more popular due to the subject of it's data - Pokemon. It now has well over <strong>10 billion</strong> API calls a month. I'm not kidding! Over the years the project has grown and a whole community of volunteers help keep it up to date.</p>
