## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Pokemon Data — Stats, Types, Abilities & Sprites to JSON

**Get Pokemon data by name or Pokedex ID — as clean JSON.** Pass Pokemon names or IDs and get back a tidy row per Pokemon: types, abilities, base stats (HP, Attack, Defense, Speed…), height, weight, base experience, official artwork and cry. Powered by the public PokeAPI — no API key.

The easy way to build Pokemon datasets for games, apps, bots and fan projects.

### Who uses this

- 🎮 **Game & app developers** — power Pokedex apps, team builders and tools.
- 🤖 **Bots & Discord communities** — answer stats and type queries.
- 📊 **Data & AI hobbyists** — build datasets for analysis or ML.
- ✍️ **Content creators** — pull sprites, artwork and stats for pages.
- 🧑‍💻 **Learners** — a clean API-to-JSON example by name or ID.

### What you get — one clean row per Pokemon

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `name` + `id` | Name & Pokedex ID |
| `types` | Type(s) |
| `abilities` + `hiddenAbilities` | Abilities |
| `hp` `attack` `defense` `specialAttack` `specialDefense` `speed` | Base stats |
| `baseStatTotal` | Sum of base stats |
| `heightM` + `weightKg` | Size |
| `baseExperience` | Base XP |
| `sprite` + `artwork` | Images |
| `cry` | Cry audio URL |
| `order`, `input`, `scrapedAt` | Provenance |

### Example

**Input**

```json
{ "pokemon": ["pikachu", "charizard", "25"] }
```

**Output (one item)**

```json
{
  "id": 6, "name": "charizard",
  "types": ["fire", "flying"],
  "abilities": ["blaze"], "hiddenAbilities": ["solar-power"],
  "hp": 78, "attack": 84, "defense": 78, "speed": 100,
  "baseStatTotal": 534, "heightM": 1.7, "weightKg": 90.5,
  "artwork": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PokeAPI/sprites/.../6.png"
}
```

### Why this actor

- ✅ **Official source** — the public PokeAPI, always current.
- 🔤 **Name *or* ID** — look up however you have it.
- 📊 **Full base stats** — plus type, abilities and totals.
- 🖼️ **Artwork, sprites & cries** — ready for rich UIs.
- ⚡ **Fast & affordable** — pay only per Pokemon returned. No API key.

### Input options

- `pokemon` *(required)* — Pokemon names or Pokedex IDs (e.g. `pikachu`, `25`).

### FAQ

**Name or ID?** Either — pass names like `pikachu` or numeric Pokedex IDs like `25`.

**Do I get images?** Yes — `sprite`, official `artwork` and the `cry` audio URL.

**Are hidden abilities included?** Yes — `hiddenAbilities` is separate from regular `abilities`.

**How fresh is the data?** Live from the PokeAPI on every run.

**Can I export to CSV/Excel/Google Sheets?** Yes — the dataset exports to JSON, CSV, Excel and HTML, or pull it via the API.

**What does it cost?** Pay-per-Pokemon — you're only charged for Pokemon actually returned.

***

*Tip: pass a whole generation's IDs to build a complete Pokedex dataset with stats and artwork.*

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "pokemon": [
        "pikachu",
        "charizard",
        "25"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("omao/pokemon").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {

        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
