4. JavaScript — Card Search and Display

async function findPokemon(name) {
  const r = await fetch(`https://api.pokemontcg.io/v1/cards?name=${name}`);
  const data = await r.json();
  return data.cards;
}
findPokemon('charizard').then(cards => {
  cards.slice(0, 3).forEach(c => {
    console.log(`${c.name} (${c.set.name} #${c.number})`);
    console.log('  HP:', c.hp, '| Type:', c.types?.join(', '));
    console.log('  Attacks:', c.attacks?.map(a => a.name).join(', '));
    console.log('  Rarity:', c.rarity);
  });
});

5. Python — Find Rare Cards in a Set

import requests

r = requests.get('https://api.pokemontcg.io/v1/cards',
  params={'set.name': 'Evolving Skies', 'rarity': 'Ultra Rare'})
cards = r.json().get('cards', [])
for c in cards:
    print(f"{c['name']} — {c['number']}/{c['set']['printedTotal']}")
    prices = c.get('tcgplayer', {}).get('prices', {})
    if prices:
        print(f"  Market: ${prices.get('normal', {}).get('market', 'N/A')}")
