What data does the API return?

Catalog responses include stable product IDs, names, sets, categories, rarities, card numbers, image URLs, game-specific attributes, and print variants. Paid market endpoints add product prices, sales history, historic prices, listings, or SKU-level prices according to plan.

Which games and marketplaces are covered?

The catalog covers 80+ trading-card games and 175,000+ board-game records. Marketplace coverage includes TCGPlayer, Cardmarket, Cardtrader, Cardsynced, Manapool, CardKingdom, Cardsphere. Availability varies by endpoint and plan.

Can I try the API before paying?

Yes. A free account includes 100 credits for catalog and card-recognition evaluation. No payment card is required, and paid endpoint tier rules still apply.

How does the v2 API fit together?

Start with games, use the returned category ID to fetch expansions, then use the group ID to fetch cards. A product ID connects that card to its available pricing, listing, sales-history, and historic-price endpoints.

How do I authenticate requests?

Send your TCGAPIs key in the x-api-key request header. The documentation includes copyable examples and response schemas for every supported endpoint.

Can I manage or cancel a subscription myself?

Yes. Monthly subscriptions can be managed from the Billing & Plan area in your dashboard, including payment-method updates and cancellation at the end of the current billing period.
