# Pokémon TCG API for Developers - EvoScan

> The EvoScan API gives your app or website the same Pokémon TCG data and card scanning that power the EvoScan iPhone app: English and Japanese cards and expansions, card images, market prices, graded prices, population reports and card recognition from a photo’s text. One JSON REST API, kept up to date as new sets are released.

**Get access:** email evoscan.app@yahoo.com with what you’re building, the data you need and your expected requests per month. Pricing is agreed with each customer, based on the number of requests and the features available.

## What You Get: Pokémon Card Data in One API

- **Cards and expansions:** Every English and Japanese card with its set, number, rarity, artist, HP, types, attacks, abilities, weaknesses, rules and legalities.
- **Card scanning:** Send the text your OCR reads from a card photo and get the exact card and printing back, with a match score and the closest alternatives.
- **Card images:** Small, medium and large images of every card and every variant, plus the logo and symbol of every set, ready to show in your app.
- **Market prices:** Low and market prices per variant and condition, in US dollars for English cards and yen for Japanese ones, plus an estimated price.
- **Graded prices:** What PSA, BGS, CGC, SGC and other graded copies sell for, per company and grade, with the low, mid, high and market value of each.
- **Population reports:** How many copies of a card have been graded, in total and per grade, so your users can see how rare a high grade of their card really is.
- **English & Japanese:** English and Japanese sets in one API: filter sets by language, and scans are matched against the catalog of the card’s own language.
- **Search & lookup:** Search by name, number or artist, sort by name, number, rarity or price, and fetch up to 50 cards in one request, in the order you ask.
- **Fresh data:** Card data and prices are refreshed regularly, and new sets are added soon after release, so your app always shows up-to-date values.
