Scryfall

Scryfall is the most comprehensive free Magic - The Gathering card database. The Scryfall API exposes Cards (search, autocomplete, named, random, collection, by various IDs), Sets, Rulings, Symbology, Catalogs, Bulk Data downloads, and card-object Migrations. The service is community-funded (Patreon / Ko-fi) and offered free of charge under the Wizards of the Coast Fan Content Policy for community software, research, and content. The API is HTTPS-only, requires a descriptive User-Agent and Accept header on every request, and asks that clients keep sustained traffic under 10 requests per second.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Government & Public Sector regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/scryfall: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts. Want it done for you? Prioritized profiling — $2,500 →
