## What it is
pgoapi is an unofficial Python client library for the Pokemon Go game API, using protobuf-based request/response parsing to expose most available RPC calls. It supports Google and PTC authentication, GPS coordinate handling, and thread-safe chained RPC calls.

## Use cases
- query pokemon go game servers from python
- build a pokemon go map or scanner tool
- automate pokemon go rpc calls with protobuf parsing
- authenticate with pokemon trainers club or google in a script
- convert gps addresses to in-game coordinates

## When to choose
- you need a python client for the pokemon go api with broad rpc coverage
- you want automatic protobuf parsing into python dictionaries
- you need google/ptc auth and ticket re-authentication handled for you

## When to avoid
- you want a supported, actively maintained library - the project is abandoned and the game api has changed
- you need bot or farming functionality - none is included
- you need a guaranteed-compliant client - this is unofficial and use is at your own risk

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: http-client, serialization, auth
- domain: gaming-tools, apis
- platform: python, cross-platform
- tags: pokemon-go, protobuf, unofficial-api, reverse-engineered-api, game-api-client, automation
