Pokémon Showdown website APIs

Most PS APIs that you would want to access programmatically are available by adding .json to the URL.

They all have Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *, so you can access them directly using AJAX.

Replays

Getting a replay:

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen8doublesubers-1097585496.json

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen8doublesubers-1097585496.log

Getting a replay inputlog directly (only for formats where the team is autogenerated):

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen8randombattle-2005209836.inputlog

Replay logs and inputlogs are also available in the JSON, so the .log and .inputlog forms are provided only for convenience.

Also for convenience: scrolling down in the source code for the replay page. Obviously don't scrape it, but ctrl+u is way faster than futzing with URLs if you just wanted to take a look at it.

Searches are limited to 51 results, and pages are offset by 50 each, so the existence of a 51st result means that there's at least one more page available. For the timestamp, use the uploadtime of the last replay in the list.
