Turn card photos into suggested matches.

We’re inviting card shops and developers to request access to our Card Matching API beta. Upload a photo of one card, receive suggested card matches and available catalog-linked TCGplayer IDs, then let a person confirm the correct printing—such as a shop connecting pack-opening photos to its existing inventory or leaderboard tools.

Three-step workflow

From one image to a reviewed match

Send a single-card image

Your integration uploads a clear, upright photo of one English Pokémon card—for example, a capture from a pack-opening table or counter intake stand.

Get suggested matches

Receive candidate cards and catalog-verified TCGplayer IDs when a matching version has a checked mapping. TCGplayer IDs may be unavailable or ambiguous, and missing or ambiguous IDs stay empty.

Let your team confirm the version

A person checks the card, set, edition and finish in your own workflow before using a match in your inventory, listing tool or leaderboard.

What to expect

Current scope, limitations & beta access

The current local prototype and initial implementation covers English Pokémon single-card images. Software review has passed, while representative collector-photo accuracy is still being evaluated—real collector-photo accuracy has not been validated yet. Access is limited, reviewed individually, and there is no public endpoint to start using today.

Human-confirmed workflows such as connecting pack-opening photos to shop inventory or leaderboard tools

Other games are requests for future coverage
Current limitations: Matches are suggestions that may be wrong or unavailable; no exact-printing identification guarantee or accuracy percentage is promised

Finish and foil are not automatically confirmed

TCGplayer IDs may be unavailable or ambiguous

Responses do not include pricing data

No launch date, public endpoint or immediate access today
Access, keys & usage limits: Limited beta access, reviewed individually

Practical example

Pack-opening photos to shop tools

A shop photographs single cards pulled during a pack opening or counter drop-off, receives candidate matches and available catalog-linked TCGplayer IDs, and lets a staff member confirm the exact printing before the card updates existing inventory or a store leaderboard.

Looking for counter software instead?

If your shop wants a ready-to-use intake workspace and shelf ledger rather than building a custom integration, explore FoilFox for card shops or talk to FoilFox.
