Yu-Gi-Oh Cards Scraper (YGOPRODeck)

Scrape Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game data from YGOPRODeck — card stats, types, prices and images — as clean, structured JSON. Fuzzy-search by name or pull exact cards by name. No API key, no login, datacenter-proxy friendly.

Perfect for deck builders, TCG price apps, card-value trackers, collectors and data scientists who need reliable Yu-Gi-Oh card data on demand.

Features

• Full card stats — ATK, DEF, level, race, attribute, archetype, type and frame type.
• Live prices — TCGplayer and Cardmarket prices per card.
• Images — direct high-resolution card image URLs.
• Clean JSON output — one row per card, every field nullable, ready for CSV/Excel/API export.
• Fast & cheap — hits the official clean JSON API; runs on 512 MB, no residential proxy required.
