Getting started

Authentication

Every authenticated endpoint needs an API key in the X-API-Key header. Keys are free to create, and rate limits apply per account rather than per key, so you can make several keys for different projects without splitting your quota.

Plans

Plan	Daily limit	Markets	Data
Free	100	US only	Raw conditions
Pro	10,000	US + EU	Raw + graded
Growth	50,000	US + EU	Raw + graded
Scale	100,000	US + EU	Raw + graded + WebSocket
Business	1,000,000	US + EU	Raw + graded + WebSocket

Free covers the US market with raw card conditions only (MINT, NEAR_MINT and so on), with price history up to 7 days.
Pro adds the EU market (Cardmarket) and graded prices from 15 grading companies (PSA, BGS, CGC, SGC, TAG, ACE and more), with price history up to 1 year.
Growth has the same data as Pro with higher daily and burst limits.
Scale adds WebSocket real-time updates, eBay sold listings, all-time price history (period=all) and priority support.
Business has everything in Scale with 1,000,000 requests per day and a 300 requests / 10 seconds burst limit.

Commercial use

Paid plans (Pro, Growth, Scale, Business) allow commercial use only of PokeTrace analytical pricing data: aggregated prices, sales statistics, trends and price history.

Rate limits

Burst limits are plan-specific, from 1 request per 2 seconds up to 60 requests per 10 seconds, per account.
Daily limits apply per account, are shared across all keys and reset at midnight UTC.

See Rate limiting for full details and response headers.
