Pokemon Tcg Plans Pricing

The Pokémon TCG API is completely free - there is no paid tier. Access differs only by rate limit. Anonymous requests (no API key) are limited to 1,000 requests/day with a maximum of 30 requests/minute. Signing up for a free API key at the Pokémon TCG Developer Portal (dev.pokemontcg.io) and sending it in the X-Api-Key header raises the default limit to 20,000 requests/day, and higher limits can be arranged by contacting the maintainer via Discord or email. The project is a community effort by Andrew Backes, sustained by voluntary Patreon and Ko-fi donations rather than by charging for access.
