Checking out the github page (github.com/phalt/swapi) it looks like swapi is no longer actively maintained and is not guaranteed to be up. Looks like PokeApi is currently up though.

Nice, I'll have to check out PokeApi as an alternative.

Someone replied to the same information I had posted on twitter, apparently, swapi.dev is trying to be the successor to the original swapi.

It seems that swapi.dev is using a puma-dev cert, which is no longer accepted by macOS... interesting. Also, from the linked article, it sounds like PokéAPI may die any moment also.

I'm seriously considering standing up my own of both. Anyone have thoughts?
