Pokemon Cards Bulk API Features

Batch Processing

Fetch dozens of Pokemon cards — or a whole set — in a single API request. Slash network round-trips compared to individual card lookups.

Advanced Filtering

Filter cards by multiple criteria including set, rarity, card type, artist, price range, printing variant, and condition — plus multi-word search.

Japanese Card Support

Query Japanese cards and sets with the same endpoints — just add language=japanese. Full pricing and set data included.

Full Set Exports

Export entire Pokemon TCG sets with complete data including all variants, promos, and secret rares in one request.

Daily Data Refresh

Prices are updated once daily across the whole catalog. A simple daily re-fetch keeps local databases fully current.

Bulk Price Dumps

Business plans can download complete daily JSON price dumps — cards, sealed products, eBay data, and population data — for full-database imports.

Bulk API Endpoints

Bulk Card Queries

Efficient bulk data retrieval with /api/v2/cards

GET /api/v2/cards?setId={setId}&fetchAllInSet=true - Get all cards from a set
GET /api/v2/cards?search=charizard&limit=100 - Search across all sets
GET /api/v2/cards?rarity=Holo%20Rare&minPrice=50&sortBy=price - Advanced filtering

Sets & Sealed Products

Catalog data beyond single cards

GET /api/v2/sets - List all sets (English & Japanese)
GET /api/v2/sealed-products - Booster boxes, ETBs & bundles with pricing
GET /api/v2/population - GemRate population data (Business plan)
GET /api/v2/parse-title - Parse eBay-style listing titles into cards

GET /api/v2/cards?setId={setId}&fetchAllInSet=true - Skip pagination entirely
GET /api/v2/export?type=cards - Daily full price dump (Business plan)

Bulk Operations Code Examples

JavaScript - Bulk Fetch

// Fetch an entire set in one request
const params = new URLSearchParams({
  setName: 'Base Set',
  fetchAllInSet: 'true'
});

const response = await fetch(
  `https://www.pokemonpricetracker.com/api/v2/cards?${params}`,
  {
    headers: {
      'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY'
    }
  }
);

const cards = await response.json();
console.log(`Fetched ${cards.data.length} cards`);

Python - Advanced Filter

import requests

# Filter cards with multiple criteria
filter_params = {
    'setName': 'Base Set',
    'rarity': 'Holo Rare',
    'minPrice': 50,
    'sortBy': 'price',
    'sortOrder': 'desc',
    'limit': 50
}

response = requests.get(
    'https://www.pokemonpricetracker.com/api/v2/cards',
    params=filter_params,
    headers={'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY'}
)

filtered_cards = response.json()
print("Found " + str(len(filtered_cards['data'])) + " matching cards")

Node.js - Collection Valuation

// Value your own collection with daily prices
const myCollection = [
  { tcgPlayerId: '42360', quantity: 2 },
  { tcgPlayerId: '42385', quantity: 1 }
];

let totalValue = 0;
for (const item of myCollection) {
  const response = await fetch(
    `https://www.pokemonpricetracker.com/api/v2/cards?tcgPlayerId=${item.tcgPlayerId}`,
    {
      headers: { 'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' }
    }
  );
  const { data: card } = await response.json();
  totalValue += card.prices.market * item.quantity;
}

console.log(`Collection value: $${totalValue.toFixed(2)}`);

PHP - Daily Price Dump (Business)

<?php
// Download the complete daily price dump
// (Business plan, generated at 6:00 AM UTC)
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,
  'https://www.pokemonpricetracker.com/api/v2/export?type=cards'
);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, [
  'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY'
]);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);

$response = curl_exec($ch);
$dump = json_decode($response, true);

echo "Cards in dump: " . count($dump);

Performance Comparison: Single vs Bulk API

Why Bulk Operations Matter

❌ Without Bulk Queries (100 cards)

  • • 100 separate API calls required
  • • 100 network round-trips
  • • Per-minute call limit reached faster
  • • Error handling: 100 potential points

✅ With Bulk Queries (100 cards)

  • • 1 single API call (limit=100 or fetchAllInSet)
  • • 1 network round-trip
  • • Barely touches the per-minute call limit
  • • Error handling: 1 point

Result: Far faster and simpler. Credits are billed per card either way, so bulk queries cost the same — with 99% fewer requests.
