API Updates

Stop Letting Online Marketplaces Dictate Your Store’s Worth

Professionalizing Our Data Layer

Today, we are thrilled to announce the JustTCG Local Pricing Network. It’s as a massive, real-time ledger that aggregates physical sales from independent game stores across the globe. We are building a decentralized, physical-first pricing engine. By securely linking your store’s Point-of-Sale system to the JustTCG network, every physical purchase your customers make is recorded to a global price index.

One of the most frequent requests we receive from developers is for deeper historical context. A 30-day window is great for spotting a buyout spike, but it misses the seasonal trends (like the post-release crash or the "summer lull" ) that serious collectors and investors track.

We’ve added two new games to the API.

At JustTCG, we spend a lot of time thinking about how to save you a few lines of code. We know that building a great TCG app often requires a lot of “glue code” , those annoying little functions you have to write just to get data to behave.

One of our core promises at JustTCG is to keep things simple and no-bloat. We know that for many of you efficiency isn’t just a nice-to-have; it’s a requirement.

You asked, we listened. Integrate JustTCG pricing into your existing database without the headache of ID translation.

You asked, we listened. One of the most common pieces of feedback we’ve received from our developer community is the need for more control. Specifically, more control over the data you receive from our `/cards` endpoint. For many of you building lean, fast user interfaces, getting the full firehose of price history and statistical data was overkill when all you needed was the latest market price.

Ever since we launched the JustTCG API, we’ve been blown away by the tools, trackers, and storefronts you’ve been building. We’ve seen everything from sleek portfolio apps to powerful inventory management systems. But we knew we could make the process of integrating real-time TCG pricing data even simpler.

It’s hard to believe it’s been five months since we launched. August was a huge month for us, and it was driven entirely by you, our community of developers. Every feature request, bug report, and brilliant idea you've shared has directly shaped our roadmap. We promised to be the most dedicated, simple, and reliable pricing API for Trading Card Games, and for us, that means listening intently and shipping constantly.

We’re constantly looking for ways to give you, the developer, more powerful and insightful TCG data. While real-time pricing is essential for understanding the market _right now_, short-term fluctuations can often obscure the bigger picture. To build truly powerful applications, you need to see the trend beyond the daily noise.

Access real-time pricing for the full Pokémon OCG and the hit indie TCG, Grand Archive. Our dedicated pricing API now includes comprehensive Japanese set data, promo cards, and full support for Grand Archive. Get your free API key and start building.

At JustTCG, we're dedicated to a simple promise: providing the most reliable, developer-friendly TCG pricing API on the market. Part of that promise means we're obsessed with removing friction and doing the heavy lifting so you don't have to.

We're updating our API free tier to ensure platform stability. Effective July 1, 2025, the maximum `limit` for card requests will be 20 for free users. Learn more about this change and how to prepare your application to avoid any interruptions.
