[Feature Request] A Mini (maps) endpoint of pokemon world locations

Open eduardoconde-bit opened this issue 3 years ago • 9 comments

[Feature Request] I think everyone would like one of a pokemon world map endpoint (from the game obviously), ie. The endpoint would return in the request a minimap of the meeting place or habitat of a given pokémon by id or name, I believe it is quite interesting for projects, including mine (lol), I would be very grateful, and I believe that everyone who uses pokeAPi too

Thank you!

Um endpoint de Mini Mapa para exibir a região de um determinado pokémon

Are those in Nintendo games?

YES @Naramsim

@Naramsim A Mini Map endpoint to display the region of a given pokémon, I believe it's pretty cool, the request occurs through the pokémon's ID or name and brings in the request a minimap of the habitat or region of the pokémon in question

We already have locations for pokemons.

So we could link these locations to some images. That would work fine. But someone needs to scrape the images and link them

Might be near impossible to include anything for gen-8.

@Naramsim

would be perfect, is it feasible, hey man, will you include this functionality?

This is hardly feasible and should fall outside the responsibilities of the API itself, you'll need a client that processes the data to generate the image, these images should not be part of the API as they would have little connection to the rest of the data and is able to be calculated with already available data. something similar to this functionality exists already for most generations at https://simplyblgdev.github.io/Pokemon/ which uses PokeAPI data to generate that info. @The-Programador @Naramsim I suggest we close this issue.

I tend to agree, it feels like something you'd build on top of data we supply.
