One API for every trading card game
Pokémon, Magic, One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Lorcana, Star Wars: Unlimited, Digimon and Grand Archive behind one REST endpoint, with GraphQL when you want it. Priced for both markets: Cardmarket in euros next to TCGplayer in dollars, on the same card.
From $19 a month, 25,000 credits included. Top up a balance and we draw from it monthly — no contract, no minimum term.

The same query, every game
Ask for what you need. Get exactly that.
Change the game parameter and keep the code. Game-specific stats live under gameData, so your editor autocompletes Pokémon HP and Lorcana lore without you reading a wiki.
▍Live catalog data, not mock-ups. REST covers every capability; GraphQL is there for when one round trip should return several games.
What you get
Everything a card app needs, and nothing it does not
Card data is only half the job. The other half is prices, images, freshness and not being rate-limited into uselessness on launch day.
One schema, eight games
Shared core fields — id, name, set, rarity, artist, images, prices, legalities — with a typed gameData payload for everything that only makes sense in one game.
38 ms at the p50
Edge-cached reads from 19 regions. Cold queries hit Postgres with covering indexes; hot ones never leave the CDN.
European prices, natively
Cardmarket in EUR next to TCGplayer in USD on the same card, with trend, rolling averages and foil quoted separately. No FX guesswork for half the world's collectors.
Scan a card, get the printing
Recognition over a socket for live camera feeds, or a photo over HTTPS. Returns the exact printing with both prices attached, and a frame we cannot place is never billed.
Or skip the client
Plain REST, no SDK required
Every GraphQL capability has a REST equivalent with the same filters and the same response shape.
curl https://api.tcggraph.com/v1/cards \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $TCGGRAPH_KEY" \
-d game=pokemon \
-d "filter[types]=Fire" \
-d "filter[hp][gte]=300"Daily price history
Market, low and trend from Cardmarket across all eight games, with TCGplayer, Card Kingdom and Mana Pool on Magic, per printing and per finish, retail and buylist.
Card art on our CDN
Every printing is mirrored at three widths in AVIF and WebP with stable URLs, so you never hotlink a publisher and never serve a broken image.
Twelve languages
Japanese, Korean, both Chinese scripts and the full European set, all linked to the same card identity so you can pivot markets in one field.
Webhooks that matter
set.published, card.legality.changed and price.threshold.crossed, delivered with HMAC signatures and exponential-backoff retries.
Versioned, never broken
Date-based API versions with a twelve-month deprecation window. Breaking changes ship behind a header, never on a Tuesday.
REST first, GraphQL when useful
Hit a plain JSON endpoint from a shell script, or reach for GraphQL when one round trip should return several games. Both read the same cache.
Bulk exports, no approval
Nightly full-catalog dumps in JSON, NDJSON and Parquet from Growth up. Complete, not crippled, and nobody has to review an application first.
Prices
Real market data, per printing and per finish
Daily market, low and high from Cardmarket, TCGplayer, Card Kingdom and Manapool, going back to 2019. Below is live catalog data — the same values the API returns.

Built for
Six kinds of app, one integration
Whatever you are building, the hard part should be your product — not reconciling six card databases that disagree about what a set code is.
Deck builders
Format legality, ban lists and rotation marks stay current, so your validator does not need a hand-maintained list of exceptions.
cards(filter: { format: STANDARD, legal: true })
Collection trackers
Resolve a printing by set code and collector number, then value the whole binder against Cardmarket, TCGplayer, Card Kingdom and Manapool in one request.
printings(setCode: "ME02", collectorNumber: "125/094")
Price analytics
A daily close per printing and finish, recorded every night and kept, so your charts compare like with like instead of whatever the marketplace showed the moment you asked.
GET /v1/prices/pkm_me02_125/history
Marketplaces and shops
Cardmarket in EUR beside TCGplayer in USD on the same card, with Card Kingdom buylist on Magic, so you can reprice against the market you actually sell on.
GET /v1/prices/mtg_0000419b-0bba
Card scanners
Perceptual hashes and art crops for every printing, so an image match resolves to the exact variant rather than just the card name.
matchByHash(phash: "f0e1c2...", game: POKEMON)
Bots and agents
A stable MCP server and OpenAPI spec mean an LLM can query the catalog directly without you writing a tool layer.
npx @tcggraph/mcp --key $TCGGRAPH_KEY
Honest comparison
When TCGGraph is the right call
If you only ever need one game and one currency, a free single-game API will do the job and we are not going to pretend otherwise. TCGGraph earns its place the moment you need a second game, a second market, or a number you can put in front of a paying customer.

No SDK required
One bearer token and the HTTP client you already have
No proprietary transport, no signing scheme, no long-lived connection. A published OpenAPI 3.1 document and GraphQL SDL mean you can generate a fully typed client in any language today.
First-party typed SDKs for those four languages are in progress and are not published yet.
Generate a clientconst params = new URLSearchParams({
game: "pokemon",
hp_gte: "300",
sort: "-price",
limit: "25",
});
const res = await fetch(`${API}/cards?${params}`, {
headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.TCGGRAPH_KEY}` },
});
const { data } = await res.json();
for (const card of data) {
console.log(card.name, card.gameData.hp, card.prices[0]?.market);
