Magic: The Gathering API

How to Use This API

1. Search by Card Name

https://api.magicthegathering.io/v1/cards?name=snap

2. Filter by Set and Color

https://api.magicthegathering.io/v1/cards?set=khm&colors=R

Red cards from the Kaldheim set.

3. Get All Cards in a Set

https://api.magicthegathering.io/v1/sets/khm/booster

4. JavaScript — Deck Builder Search

async function searchCards(name, colors) {
  const params = new URLSearchParams({ name, colors });
  const r = await fetch(`https://api.magicthegathering.io/v1/cards?${params}`);
  const data = await r.json();
  return data.cards;
}
searchCards('dragon', 'R').then(cards => {
  cards.slice(0, 5).forEach(c => {
    console.log(`${c.name} (${c.manaCost || 'N/A'})`);
    console.log('  Type:', c.type);
    console.log('  Power/Toughness:', c.power + '/' + c.toughness);
  });
});

5. Python — Build a Commander Set

import requests

params = {'commander': 'true', 'colors': 'WU', 'pageSize': 10}
r = requests.get('https://api.magicthegathering.io/v1/cards', params=params)
cards = r.json().get('cards', [])
for c in cards:
    print(f"{c['name']} ({c['setName']})")
    print(f"  Rarity: {c['rarity']} | Type: {c['type']}")
