TCG Card Price API — Cardmarket and TCGplayer

Get the price of any trading card on both Cardmarket (Europe, EUR) and TCGplayer (United States, USD) in one call: every printing of the card, its TCGplayer market price, recent sales and 30-day trend, the matching Cardmarket trend and averages, and the price gap between the two markets. Covers Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, Lorcana and 12 more games. No API key required.

Why this API?

🌍 Two markets, one answer

TCGplayer and Cardmarket are the reference prices for the US and Europe. Each result carries both, side by side, for the same printing.

🎯 The right printing, not just the right name

A Charizard ex exists in dozens of printings worth anywhere from one euro to hundreds. Each result is one specific printing (set, collector number, rarity), and the Cardmarket product is matched to that printing, not to the name.

🔎 Honest matching

Every result says how its Cardmarket product was matched and how sure the match is. When two Cardmarket products could be the same printing, the result lists both with their prices instead of picking one. A wrong pairing never produces a price gap.

🧾 Real sales, not only asking prices

The five most recent TCGplayer sales (date, condition, price, shipping) and the 30-day Near Mint market-price trend with units sold come with each printing.

💶 Price gap included

The Cardmarket premium over TCGplayer is worked out at the day's ECB exchange rate, for every printing where both prices are trustworthy.

⚡ Built for apps and agents

Call it over HTTP and get JSON back in seconds, or run it as a normal actor. Same fields, same price.

Call this actor over HTTP

Besides normal runs, this actor exposes a REST API that answers each request in seconds with JSON. There is no run to start and no dataset to fetch afterwards, which suits apps, automations and AI agents that need one answer at a time. The full interactive reference is on the Endpoints tab.

Endpoint	Returns	Billed as
GET /price?game=…&card=…	Every matching printing with prices from both markets (up to 25)	Per printing

Authenticate with your Apify API token in the Authorization header:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>" \
  "https://unfenced-group--tcg-card-price-api.apify.actor/price?game=pokemon&card=Charizard%20ex&set=Obsidian%20Flames"

Every response has the shape { "count": N, "items": [...] }, with the same fields as the dataset records below, billed at the same price as a normal run. Errors and cards that match nothing return no data and are never billed. POST with a JSON body works the same as GET.

How the Cardmarket match works

matchMethod	Confidence	Meaning
exact-id	exact	Magic: both product ids are published together by Scryfall.
card-code	high	The printed card code (e.g. OP06-118) matches.
name-text	high	Pokémon: same name, same attacks and abilities, same set.
name-set	high	Same name and same set, with only one product on Cardmarket.
version-order	medium	Several printings of the card in one set (e.g. regular, full art, special illustration), paired in collector-number order.
ambiguous	ambiguous	More than one Cardmarket product fits. They are listed in cardmarketCandidates and no price gap is given.
none	none	No Cardmarket product found for this printing.

---

Examples

Every printing of a card in one set:

{ "game": "pokemon", "card": "Charizard ex", "set": "Obsidian Flames", "maxResults": 10 }

One exact printing by collector number:

{ "game": "pokemon", "card": "Umbreon VMAX", "number": "215/203", "maxResults": 1 }

A One Piece card by code, without sales history:

{ "game": "onepiece", "card": "Roronoa Zoro", "number": "OP06-118", "includeSales": false }

Magic: compare all printings of a staple:

{ "game": "magic", "card": "Lightning Bolt", "maxResults": 25 }

💰 Pricing

$0.004 per card printing — you only pay for printings returned. Errors and lookups that find nothing are never charged. One request for one card usually returns 1 to 5 printings.

Usage	Cost
one printing	~$0.00
a typical card lookup	~$0.02
100 printings	~$0.40
1,000 printings	~$4.00

Subscription tiers lower the rate further, down to $0.003 per card printing at the highest tier. A run start costs $0.00005 and each dataset item $0.00001; HTTP requests are billed per card printing only.

---

Performance

Request	Typical time
One card over HTTP	2–5 seconds
One card as a normal run	10–15 seconds (includes start-up)

---

Known limitations

• Cardmarket publishes one product per printing but no collector numbers, so printings that share a name in one set are matched in collector-number order (version-order). When the counts on both sites differ, the result is marked ambiguous and lists every candidate rather than guessing.
• Cardmarket's price guide covers a card in every language and condition it is offered in; TCGplayer's market price is mostly English copies. Treat the premium as indicative, especially for vintage and non-English-heavy games.
• No price gap is given for cards under €0.50 on either side, or where one price is below a tenth of the other.
• TCGplayer-only products (for example Japanese Pokémon) and Cardmarket-only games are not covered.
• Cardmarket prices are daily; TCGplayer prices are live.
