.catch(error => {
console.error('Error fetching data:', error);
});
Getting Started — No API Key Required
TCGdex is a free, open-source Pokemon TCG API with no API key or authentication. Just call the REST endpoints directly.
The current base URL includes the language code in the path — https://api.tcgdex.net/v2/{lang}/. For English:
// List all cards (id, localId, name, image)
fetch('https://api.tcgdex.net/v2/en/cards')
.then(res => res.json())
.then(cards => console.log(cards.length, cards[0]));
Fetch a single card by its id for full details (HP, types, attacks, rarity):
fetch('https://api.tcgdex.net/v2/en/cards/basep-1')
.then(res => res.json())
.then(card => console.log(card.name, card.rarity));
Other resources: /v2/en/sets and /v2/en/series. Card images come from assets.tcgdex.net — append a quality and extension such as /high.webp to the returned image URL. Swap en for fr, de, es, it, pt, ja, and more for other languages. Note the correct host is api.tcgdex.net (not www.tcgdex.net/api used in the older example).
