Scryfall Plans Pricing
Scryfall provides its card data and image database free of charge as part of the Wizards of the Coast Fan Content Policy for the primary purpose of creating additional Magic software, performing research, or creating community content. There is no paid tier and no API key. Usage is governed by a free-with-attribution-and-rate-limit policy and Scryfall accepts community funding via Patreon and Ko-fi rather than charging API consumers.
Scryfall Plans Pricing is the machine-readable pricing-plan profile for Scryfall on the APIs.io network, conforming to the API Commons Plans specification.
It defines 2 plans, covering free and donation tiers, with named plans including Free Public API, Community Funding (Patreon / Ko-fi).

Plans
Unmetered, no-key public access to all Scryfall endpoints. Requires a descriptive User-Agent and Accept header on every request, adherence to documented rate limits, attribution on derived works per the Wizards of the Coast Fan Content Policy, and use of bulk-data downloads for any large-scale ingestion task. No commercial-grade SLAs are offered.
- All REST endpoints (Cards, Sets, Rulings, Symbology, Catalogs, Bulk Data, Migrations)
- All daily bulk-data exports (oracle_cards, unique_artwork, default_cards, all_cards, rulings)
- All card image renderings (small, normal, large, png, art_crop, border_crop)
- Search query syntax (Scryfall fulltext)
- Localized card data in supported languages
Scryfall is community-funded through Patreon and Ko-fi. Contributions are voluntary and do not unlock additional API quota or commercial terms - the API stays free for everyone.
