Studio · New
Every endpoint. One click away.
Studio is a logged-in dashboard where every API endpoint becomes a tile. Pick a game, pick a card, hit Run — the file downloads. No SDK to install, no cURL to write, and you see the exact credit cost before you spend a single one.
Every endpoint, one tile
Catalog, expansions, cards, prices, sales history, historic prices, SKU pricing, live listings — all eight tiles in one grid. No request building, no JSON parsing.
Exact cost preview
A pre-flight count query shows the precise credit cost before you spend a credit. No other TCG API does this.
Cascading dropdowns
Game → expansion → card → SKU. Type-to-filter every step, sorted A–Z. No remembering productIds.
Auto-download, smart cache
CSV or JSON. We cache identical pulls so re-running the same request offers the existing file instead of charging you again.
Available on every paid plan from Hobby up. Live Listings tile requires Unlimited.

The unfair advantage
Catalog data is table stakes. Live marketplace data is the moat.
Every card API gives you names and images. Only TCGAPIs gives you live TCGPlayer prices, the actual listings sellers have up right now, and the real prices buyers just paid — layered on top of the same catalog.
Live
Live listings
Active marketplace listings with seller, condition, quantity and listing price — not cached, not delayed.
Real seller data

Sales history
Recent sold-listing history. Real prices buyers actually paid — for buylist, valuation, and trend analysis.

Got Questions?
Frequently asked questions
Everything developers ask before building on TCGAPIs — data shape, coverage, pricing, and integration.
Every card response gives you the productId, name, cleanName, set/expansion (groupId, groupName), category (categoryId, categoryName), rarity, card number, high-resolution image URL, and game-specific attributes like HP, type, attack/defense, mana cost, attribute, and rules text. You also get every print variant — foil, reverse, alt-art, full-art, borderless, 1st edition — as a separate addressable SKU.
Yes. Every card has a high-resolution image URL hotlinkable straight from your front-end. Images cover all printings and variants — alternate arts, full arts, borderless, showcase frames, and promos.
TCGAPIs covers 80+ trading card games, including Pokemon, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, Disney Lorcana, Flesh and Blood, Digimon, Dragon Ball Super, Star Wars Unlimited, Union Arena, Weiss Schwarz, Cardfight Vanguard, and many more. New games are added based on market demand.
The v2 API uses a clean drill-down: GET /v2/games returns categoryIds → GET /v2/expansions/:categoryId returns groupIds → GET /v2/cards/:groupId returns productIds. From any productId you can fan out to /v2/prices, /v2/livelistings, /v2/sales-history, and /v2/historic-prices. Each response hands you the IDs for the next call.
Yes — and this is what no one else has. On top of catalog data, TCGAPIs is the only API that combines live TCGPlayer market prices, live listings (active sellers, conditions, quantities), and live sales history (real prices buyers paid). Catalog stays in sync as new sets are released; market data refreshes live.
Most TCG APIs cover one game (Scryfall is MTG-only) or stop at catalog metadata. TCGAPIs gives you 80+ games behind a single unified schema, plus the live TCGPlayer market data layer (prices, listings, sales) that other providers don't have. Multi-marketplace expansion to Cardmarket, Cardtrader, Cardsynced, Manapool, CardKingdom, and Cardsphere launches 1 May 2026.
Yes. The interactive playground lets you explore real TCG data across 80+ games. Browse games, expansions, cards, prices, and live listings to evaluate the data before choosing a plan.
Standard REST with JSON responses. Pass your API key in the x-api-key header and you're live. Works in every language and framework. Full Swagger documentation is at /documentation.
Monthly plans can be cancelled any time. Annual plans bill upfront for the year and come with significant savings versus monthly.
