Pokémon TCG Markets Integration

The TCGdx API provides comprehensive pricing data for Pokémon cards, sourced directly from the world’s largest trading card marketplaces. Access current market values, historical trends, and variant-specific pricing.

What is Market Pricing Data?

Our pricing system aggregates market data from major trading platforms to provide accurate, up-to-date valuations for every Pokémon card in your applications.

Key features include:

• Real-time pricing: Updated hourly (TCGPlayer) to daily (Cardmarket) across all major marketplaces
• Multiple variants: Separate pricing for differents variants (depends on provider)
• Historical trends: Track price movements over 1, 7, and 30-day periods (depend on provider)
• Global coverage: Data from Europe’s Cardmarket and North America’s TCGplayer
• Embedded data: Pricing included directly in card responses - no separate endpoints

Quick Start Examples

REST API

GET https://api.tcgdex.net/v2/en/cards/swsh3-136

The response includes pricing data directly in the card object:

{
  "id": "swsh3-136",
  "name": "Charizard",
  "pricing": {
    "cardmarket": { /* EUR pricing */ },
    "tcgplayer": { /* USD pricing */ }
  }
}

SDK Integration

import TCGdx from '@tcgdx/sdk'

const sdk = new TCGdx('en')
const card = await sdk.cards.get('swsh3-136')

// Access Cardmarket pricing (EUR)
console.log(card.pricing.cardmarket.trend)
console.log(card.pricing.cardmarket.avg30)

// Access TCGplayer pricing (USD)
console.log(card.pricing.tcgplayer.holo.marketPrice)
console.log(card.pricing.tcgplayer.normal.lowPrice)
