Is there a risk of BAN?
To answer some questions:
What API is it built upon
The ultimate backend is a combination of Pokemon-Go-Node-API and Pogobuf. There is a lot of custom code built upon both.
Why are some Pokemon more expensive?
I have to cover server costs. At the moment, with current load, the servers and bandwidth are costing almost $1000 a month to run and this is increasing by ~15% per day - I can't provide the entire service for free. The alternative is to have adverts on the site, which I really want to avoid.
If you do not wish to pay, you can instead use the co-ordinates provided on-screen and use a 3rd party tool to catch them. You are not forced to pay, I'll emphasise that again.
Can you get banned
If you're reckless, yes. As part of developing the system I've created 2 accounts and set them up to automatically catch 1 of every Pokemon, which took 2 days. They are not yet banned. I would recommend using the tool and ensuring that you do not immediately then login to your Pokemon GO app, but leave it 30 minutes. The site will geo-locate you around the world to catch the Pokemon required.
Better tutorial
The help section at the top gives most information, but I'll see what I can do. The process is as simple as register an account, then click "Catch".

The primary cost is around our mapping and catching servers, where bandwidth is not the problem, but CPU power is. The webservers themselves are taking the most punishment from scrapers (which I expected), but isn't affecting the service.
For a little context, the number of requests to capture Pokemon have more than quadrupled in the past 24 hours, the site is now catching an average of 5 Pokemon a second, each of which requires a new process spinning up.
This service is different to any other service currently offered, as we're taking the hit on the full lifecycle of finding, catching and asertaining Pokemon for the user. All you have to do, is click "Catch".

iv working?
Logged in Looking for Oddish Found Oddish Engaged Oddish I have 50 Pokeballs, 80 Greatballs and 41 Ultraballs Updated inventory Trying to catch Error! Oddish got away
got this everytime no matter what pokemon i chose, caught 0 pokemons and used the 100 free coins lol.
haha nice tool^^ I like it.
I have tested it... great site.
Perfect site to get a full pokedex! Just wondering how many coins would it cost to catch all of them?
is it good?
trying it now.
This is almost always due to a soft ban. An easy way to test this is to create a new account on the site, wait an hour between logging in on your app, and then try again. There is no limit on accounts/person on CapturePokemon. There are people with (literally) dozens of accounts farming Dratini.
Received your PM and looking into this now. It looks like your payment wasn't automatically verified, which I've manually sorted for you.
