Developer Experience Articles

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. 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.

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.

Our latest Quality of Life update for the JustTCG API is here. Learn how the new `orderBy` parameter lets you sort TCG data by price or price changes (24h, 7d, 30d) directly in your API call. Save time, write less code, and build faster.
