Getting Started with the API (Quick Start Guide)

Integrating our Pokémon card data API is simple:

1. Get Your API Key

Sign up for an account on PokemonPriceTracker.com and subscribe to one of our API plans to receive your unique API key.

2. Make Your First API Call

Use your API key to authenticate and start fetching data. Here’s a quick example using JavaScript to fetch price data for a Base Set Charizard:

// Example: Fetch price data for Base Set Charizard
const apiKey = 'YOUR_API_KEY';
const response = await fetch('https://www.pokemonpricetracker.com/api/v2/cards?search=charizard%20base%20set&limit=1', {
  headers: {
    'Authorization': `Bearer ${apiKey}`
  }
});
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);

3. Understanding the API Response

Our API returns data in a clear, structured JSON format. Here’s an example of what you might receive:

{
  "data": [
    {
      "tcgPlayerId": "12345",
      "name": "Charizard",
      "setName": "Base Set",
      "cardNumber": "4",
      "rarity": "Holo Rare",
      "prices": {
        "market": 399.99,
        "low": 275.00,
        "sellers": 45,

        "primaryPrinting": "Holofoil",

      },
      "imageCdnUrl": "https://tcgplayer-cdn.tcgplayer.com/product/12345_in_800x800.jpg"
    }
  ],
  "metadata": {
    "total": 1,
    "count": 1,
    "limit": 1,
    "offset": 0,
