Too Long; Didn't Read

As many of you have probably been seeing, there’s a whole raft of new 3rd party Pokemon Go related websites and apps debuting. Such as Pokemon maps, radars, bots and even dating sites. Most of these (maybe not the dating site) are actually making use of this Pokemon API, which mimics the server request information and responses sent by the actual app it self. This can get pinpoint locations of Pokemon, your own info on Pokemon and items carried, it can also capture Pokemon, spin PokeStops, and hatch eggs.I’ve been playing with <a href="https://github.com/Mila432/Pokemon_Go_API" target="_blank">one of these scripts</a> that allows a user to play with some of these functions. It is easy to install if you do software development or are very familiar with the ins and outs python. This is what I learned.
