Current prices of a sealed product

The live price series of one sealed product, in the same shape as the card route.

Objects returned

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 and the pricing.

Same envelope as /v1/cards/{id}/prices — index, quotes, meta.plan_notes — so one client handles both. The differences are what a sealed product does not have: condition, printing and grading are always null, and locale is the language the box was printed in. index is null today: the composite is computed for cards only, and the euro figure on the product, index_eur, is the catalogue price.

Observations come from Cardmarket (lowest, 1/7/30-day averages and trend, per printing language, back to November 2024), TCGplayer and community submissions, under the same allow-list and 24-hour delay as cards. This sample shows four of the 7 rows the product carries. GET /v1/sealed/{id} carries index_eur and last_price_at if all you need is one number.

Path parameters

Path parameters
NameTypeDefaultDescription
id requiredstring—The sku or the slug of the product, as on /v1/sealed/{id}.

Query parameters

Query parameters
NameTypeDefaultDescription
sourcestring—Keep only rows from one source, as listed by GET /v1/prices/sources. A card can carry over a hundred rows once graded medians are included, so this is usually the difference between a response you parse and one you filter. An unknown value is INVALID_PARAMETER with the valid list in details, never a silently unfiltered page.
variantstring—Keep only one variant: LOW, MARKET, TREND, AVG_1D, AVG_7D, AVG_30D, MEDIAN_GRADED, INDEX.
localestring—Keep only rows for one printing language. Rows that do not state a language are excluded rather than assumed to match.

Headers

Headers
NameTypeDefaultDescription
X-Api-Key requiredstring—Your API key. Authorization: Bearer <key> is accepted as an alias.
If-None-Matchstring—Send back the ETag you stored. The API returns a strong ETag on every catalogue response, and a 304 is a header exchange: no body, no database row read.

Errors

Every error body carries error.code, error.message and error.request_id. Switch on the code, never on the message.

Errors returned by this endpoint
StatusCodeWhen
401MISSING_API_KEYNo X-Api-Key header and no bearer token on a route that requires one.
401INVALID_API_KEYThe key does not match any account.
400INVALID_PARAMETERA query parameter has the wrong type or an unsupported value — a non-integer limit, an unknown lang, an unknown region, a sort key that is not sortable.
429QUOTA_EXCEEDEDTrial credits, monthly credits or the daily cap are exhausted, and details says which: daily_cap with retry_after_s is the trial daily cap, which resets at midnight UTC; renews: true with resets_at is the monthly quota of a paid plan; renews: false is the trial allowance, which never comes back. details.next_step carries the plan, prices and owner action, or email verification when it unlocks the full trial.
403PLAN_REQUIREDThe feature is outside the plan (movers require Growth; photo recognition has 5 calls after Free email confirmation, then requires Growth), or the account subscription is canceled or suspended. Centering requires Growth or higher; Developer is excluded. After email confirmation the trial includes 5 measure and 5 confirm calls independently; grade and standards use trial credits without separate call counters. Before email confirmation, the message starts with “Confirm your email…”. Follow details.next_step when present.
403TRIAL_EXPIREDThe trial has ended: the account is on the trial and its 30 days from signup are over, and this route costs credits. details.trial_expired_at is the date, details.trial_days the length, and details.next_step the owner handoff. Zero-cost routes — /v1/me, /v1/me/usage, the key routes and /v1/billing/checkout — still answer.
