@AryanXdProYT Hi.

I experienced also a slowdown followed by a 504. But that happened only once. Our monitoring page and our GCP alerts didn't log any downtimes nor slowdowns.

I strongly suspect that Cloudflare, for some of the requests, is having some troubles processing your requests. Maybe you have been rate-limited. Could you tell me the location of the server where you're having these slowdowns?

We cannot really do anything about it.

Also, are you sure that it's not your network that's slow?

[AryanXdProYT]

I has been using it in my mobile since 2-3 weeks working perfectly with max 5 seconds response but from today its response is taking time now the time is like 15min per response

[Naramsim]

Well, first of all, the API should reply back in max 500ms, not 5 seconds. So if you're getting those times something is slow on your end.

I don't know how to help you, tbh. Let's keep this issue open for some days to see if other users are experiencing the same.

This is not a good attitude, we're volunteers, and humans. Please be polite!

Fifteen minutes is an insane response time given that most HTTP clients time out after 60 seconds, I suspect something is up with your network configuration.

This is a great reminder to always cache results and don't rely on third party APIs!

I am really sorry for that but i didnt mean rude to you but forgive me for that , and today its was working fine so i think to tell you , and also i want to ask ine more thing in pokepy pokepy.V2Client().get_pokemon(limit=100,offset=0) only showing first 20 can u help me with this Thank you and really srry but i didnt mean to be rude to you

What you're doing is not specified in the pokepy documentation.

Pokepy doesn't actually implement the limit and offset parameters. You're basically calling the API with the default pagination parameters of limit=20 and offset=0.

[Naramsim]

Thanks @Kronopt for pointing it out. @AryanXdProYT, I suggest you to read the documentation of pokepy before using it.

I'm closing this issue since no one else reported the API being slow and also because it has diverged from the original question.

Ohk So can u tell how can i get the pokemons list sorted by dex through pokepy or any module in python

[Naramsim]

Apparently, you cannot retrieve a root endpoint using that wrapper. I checked also https://github.com/PokeAPI/pokebase but no luck.

Your best bet right now is to:

• Use a Python module to make HTTP requests
• Open a feature request in one of those two repositories
• Use the dex endpoint to list all pokemons belonging to a specific pokedex
