QUICK ANSWERS
Is pokemontcg.io shutting down?
pokemontcg.io API keys stop working on March 1, 2027, and new registrations are closed. Apps that read card data or prices from it need another source before then.
What is a good pokemontcg.io alternative with prices?
TickerMint's read-only JSON API at api.tickermint.cards covers every Pokemon card and sealed product with daily TCGplayer market prices and price history back to February 2024. You can look cards up by their pokemontcg.io id, so stored ids keep working. It is free with a link back; no key needed.
Can I keep my existing pokemontcg.io card ids?
Yes. GET https://api.tickermint.cards/cards/{id} takes a pokemontcg.io id such as swsh7-215 and returns the matching TCGplayer product with today's market price. About 21,000 pokemontcg.io ids are mapped.
What does it cost?
Reads are free at 120 requests a minute per IP with a visible link back to the TickerMint page. A Developer key ($19 a month) raises that to 600 a minute and opens bulk endpoints. Reselling the raw prices as a feed is not allowed.
