Vendor Tools TCG Database API gives you structured catalogue data for trading card games — games, expansions (sets), singles, sealed products, market pricing, and grading population — with authenticated image URLs.

Authenticate with your RapidAPI key only. No separate Vendor Tools key is required for marketplace calls.

What you can do

List and look up games, expansions, cards, and sealed products
Paginate lists with limit / offset (default 50, max 100)
Filter cards by name, slug, rarity, and collectorNumber
Fetch logo / cover / card / sealed images via dedicated image endpoints
Read GBP market pricing on card and sealed detail responses (where included on the upstream plan)
Request on-demand pricing refresh (POST) when prices are older than 48 hours
Read cached ACE + PSA population for cards (higher-tier upstream access)
Submit catalogue correction reports for staff review

Base path

All endpoints are under /v1. Example: GET /games, GET /pokemon/expansions/obsidian-flames/cards.

Response shape

Successful responses:

{ "ok": true, "data": … }

List responses include data.items and data.meta (limit, offset, count, total, hasMore).

Errors:

{ "ok": false, "error": { "code": "…", "message": "…" } }

Usage & images

Successful catalogue and image responses count toward your RapidAPI plan limits.
JSON fields such as imageUrl, logoUrl, and coverUrl point at authenticated image routes (e.g. …/cards/{cardSlug}/image). Fetching those image endpoints also counts as usage.
Pricing refresh endpoints cost 3 units per successful call (including when prices are already fresh).
GET /health does not count toward quota.

Common query parameters

limit — page size (default 50, max 100)
offset — rows to skip
sort — expansions only: releaseDate, name, slug, code, series (prefix - for descending, e.g. -releaseDate)

Example flow

GET /games → pick a slug (e.g. pokemon)
GET /{gameSlug}/expansions → pick an expansion slug
GET /{gameSlug}/expansions/{expansionSlug}/cards → browse or filter singles
GET /…/cards/{cardSlug} → full card detail (pricing when available)
GET /…/cards/{cardSlug}/image → card art bytes
