A fast, type-safe Python SDK for the TCGdex API. Query Pokémon Trading Card Game data easily. 🚀

from tcgdexsdk import TCGdex

# Fetch a card in one line
card = await TCGdex().card.get("swsh3-136")
card = TCGdex().card.getSync("swsh3-136")
print(f"Found: {card.name} ({card.localId}/{card.set.cardCount.total})")

⚡️ Quick Install

pip install tcgdex-sdk

🚀 Features

• Type-Safe: Full typing support for better IDE integration
• Async/Await: Built for modern Python applications and compatible with synchronous operations
• Zero Config: Works out of the box
• Multi-Language: Support for English, French, German, Japanese, Chinese, and more
• Rich Data: Access cards, sets, series, rarities, and more
• Lightweight: Minimal dependencies (only dacite)

🎯 Quick Examples

Find Cards by Various Criteria

sdk = TCGdex("en")

# Get the cards made by the illustrator
cards = await sdk.illustrator.get("5ban Graphics")
cards = sdk.illustrator.getSync("5ban Graphics")

# Get the data about the Sword & Shield serie by ID
series = await sdk.serie.get("swsh")
series = sdk.serie.getSync("swsh")

# Get all cards with 110 HP
hp_cards = await sdk.hp.get("110")
hp_cards = sdk.hp.getSync("110")

# List all available rarities
rarities = await sdk.rarity.list()
rarities = sdk.rarity.listSync()

# List all cards with the name being "Furret"
rarities = await sdk.card.list(Query().equal("name", "Furret"))
rarities = sdk.card.listSync(Query().equal("name", "Furret"))

Working with Sets and Series

# Get set details
darkness_ablaze = await sdk.set.get("Darkness Ablaze")
# darkness_ablaze = sdk.set.getSync("Darkness Ablaze")
print(f"Set: {darkness_ablaze.name} ({darkness_ablaze.cardCount.total} cards)")

# Get series info
swsh = await sdk.serie.get("swsh")
# swsh = sdk.serie.getSync("swsh")
print(f"Series: {swsh.name} ({len(swsh.sets)} sets)")
