Pokémon TCG API
Overview
The Pokémon TCG API provides detailed data on Pokémon Trading Card Game cards, sets, and prices, making it easy to build deck builders or card collection apps. You can search cards by name, set, type, and many other attributes. A free API key gives you higher rate limits, but basic requests work without one.
Beginner Tip
Register for a free API key at pokemontcg.io to get a higher rate limit of 20,000 requests per day instead of the default 1,000. Include your key as X-Api-Key in the request headers.
