<p>
  Pokemon API use
  <a
    href="https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/"
    target="_blank"
    rel="noopener"
    >Google Protocol Buffers</a
  >
  to generate API contract to C#. This blog will demo how to do that. Following
  demo we'll use Protobuf's 3.0.0-beta-2 for csharp., you can download from
  following link,
  <a
    href="https://github.com/google/protobuf/releases"
    target="_blank"
    rel="noopener"
    >Protobuf release</a
  >. Also, we'll need Python, because

  need Python to run command to generate Protos to Csharp.

    <li>Download google's protobuf for your enviroment.</li>

    <li>POGOProtos need Python to run for generate Csharp type.</li>

<h3>1. Download Google Protobuff</h3>
<p>
  At this blog, I'm using the 3.0.0-beta-2 with my windows 10, once you download
  this to your pc, you'll also need to add path to Enviroment Variables.
</p>

</p>
<h3>Add path to System Enviroment Variables</h3>
<p>
  Once you add the path, you can type <code>protoc</code> at command line tools.
</p>
<pre class="language-xml"><code>A:\protoc-3.0.0-win32\bin
</code></pre>
<p>Following is example command line to get version of he protoc</p>
<pre class="language-xml"><code>&gt; protoc --version
</code></pre>
<h3>2. Download Python</h3>
<p>
  You'll need Python, so go to
  <a
    href="https://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide/Download"
    target="_blank"
    rel="noopener"
    >this website</a
  >
  to get the Python, once you download the Python, try not to change their
  default folder, add also add the path to the system Vnviroment Variables as
  well.
</p>
<pre class="language-xml"><code>C:\Python27
C:\Python27\Scripts</code></pre>
<h3>3. Compile all the PokemonGO Api Protos</h3>
<p>
  Once you get the <code>Protos</code> and <code>Python</code>, you can start to
  get what's you really want, which is the PokemonGo Protos to call Pokemon API.
  Go to this
  <a
    href="https://github.com/AeonLucid/POGOProtos/tree/v1.0"
    target="_blank"
    rel="noopener"
    >Github Repo to get latest souce code</a
  >.
</p>
<p>
  You have couple of choice to compile Protos to Csharp here, I'm using
  following command to compile all protos to csharp classes, you will move
  location to the place contains the <code>compile.py</code>, then run following
  command line.
</p>
<pre class="language-xml"><code>python compile.py
</code></pre>
<h3>Output result of csharp classes</h3>
<p>
  After run the command line, you'll get all the csharp classes as following at
  out folder.
