Malie Library - Reference Section

News

2024-01-26: Paldean Fates is now available in the TCGL export.
2023-09-21: *processed* TCGL card metadata and images (Including the new "151" set!) are now tentatively available at https://cdn.malie.io/file/malie-io/tcgl/export/index.json. They are available in English, French, Spanish, Italian, German and Portuguese. Artist, Flavor text and copyright text are available in the English exports. The format of these files still in "alpha" and is subject to change. If you have feedback, please get in touch on Discord.
2023-09-20: If you use data on this site for your own website or project, would you please consider giving it a shout-out on your credits page? This is not a legal or licensing requirement, but the acknowledgements help motivate me to keep this resource online - which I run without ads and lose money on :')
2023-03-31: The TCGO section of this site is no longer being updated due to PTCGO being sunset.

TCGL Resources

These resources are updated semi-automatically from TCGL about once per day.

Formatted TCGL card database exports
Current PTCGL card metadata export in the malie.io data format. This includes cards in six languages (en, fr, it, de, es, ptbr) including images and the foil and etching layers for any foil/holo cards.

(This json file references further json files containing the actual card definitions, which are located in the same folder. Those exports in turn reference where the image files are located.)
raw TCGL card database exports
