> The accounts endpoints of the Pokémon TCG API — Create a key for a script — each with its parameters, credit cost, minimum plan and a real response.

No key yet? One call gets you one: `POST /v1/accounts/free` with an `Idempotency-Key` header and your email address returns a working key in the response. Keep the original Idempotency-Key and body for response replay for up to 24 hours, under the conditions in the quickstart. The trial is 800 credits over 30 days once the address is confirmed, no card; paid plans start at 29 € a month. See the [quickstart](https://pokemontcgapi.com/docs/quickstart) and the [pricing](https://pokemontcgapi.com/pricing).

`1` operation under `https://api.pokemontcgapi.com/v1`.

## Operations

| Operation | Endpoint | Cost | Plan |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| [Create a key for a script](https://pokemontcgapi.com/docs/api/accounts/free) | `POST /v1/accounts/free` | free, no key needed | free |

**[Create a key for a script](https://pokemontcgapi.com/docs/api/accounts/free)** — For scripts only. Creates a key without a password, so this account cannot sign in to the dashboard until the email is verified and a password is set from /account/recover; a person wanting the dashboard should use /free-api-key (POST /v1/accounts/register) instead.
