# List sealed products

> Booster boxes, elite trainer boxes, tins, blisters and collections: 2,088 products with names in six locales, images and prices.

- **Endpoint**: `GET /v1/sealed`

- **Minimum plan**: free
- **Cache-Control**: `public, max-age=60, s-maxage=300, stale-while-revalidate=600`

`id` on a sealed product is its `sku` — a readable, stable string such as `evolving-skies-booster-box` — and the same value opens `/v1/sealed/{id}` and `/v1/sealed/{id}/prices`. `languages` lists the languages the product physically exists in, which is a different thing from the locales of its name.

`meta.total_count` is always present: 2,088 rows is small enough that counting them costs an index scan, so you get the number instead of guessing from `has_more`.

> **Unknown parameters are ignored**
>
> A query parameter this endpoint does not know is dropped silently — it is not an error and it does not change the result. A typo in a filter name therefore returns a full, unfiltered page rather than a 400, so check the parameter names in the table above before concluding that a filter does nothing.

## Query parameters

| Name | Type | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `q` | string | — | Free text on the product name — in the locale given by `lang`, if any — or an exact `sku`. Not the card query grammar: there are no fields or ranges here, because "evolving skies booster box" is the whole question. |
| `set` | string | — | Set code, slug or alternate id, as on `/v1/sets/{code}`. Products of a set that is not in the catalogue carry `set_code: null` and cannot be reached this way. |
| `kind` | string | — | Product kind, as printed in `kind`: `BOOSTER_BOX`, `ETB`, `TIN`, `BLISTER`, `COLLECTION`, `BOOSTER_PACK`, `BOOSTER_BUNDLE`, `STARTER_DECK`, `BUILD_AND_BATTLE`, `PREMIUM_COLLECTION`, `SLEEVED_BOOSTER` and twelve more. Read the values off the list rather than hardcoding them; an unknown kind returns an empty page, not an error. |
| `lang` | string | — | Locale for `name`: `en`, `ja`, `fr`, `de`, `es`, `it`. A product without a name in that locale falls back to English. |
| `orderBy` | string | -release_date | `release_date`, `name`, `sku`, `index_eur`, `last_price_at`, `updated_at` or `set`, with a leading `-` for descending. Every order ends on `sku` as the tiebreaker. |
| `limit` | integer | 50 | Rows per page, 1 to 250. Above 250 you get `LIMIT_EXCEEDED` — follow `links.next` instead of raising it. |
| `cursor` | string | — | Opaque keyset cursor from `links.next`. Never construct one; it carries the sort order it was issued for and is rejected if `orderBy` changes mid-run. |

## Headers

| Name | Type | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `X-Api-Key` **required** | string | — | Your API key. `Authorization: Bearer <key>` is accepted as an alias. |
| `If-None-Match` | string | — | 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. |

## Example request

**curl**

```bash
curl -s -G "https://api.pokemontcgapi.com/v1/sealed" \
  --data-urlencode "q=evolving skies" \
  --data-urlencode "kind=BOOSTER_BOX" \
  --data-urlencode "limit=2" \
  -H "X-Api-Key: $PTCG_API_KEY"
```

**TypeScript**

`request.ts`

```ts
const url = new URL("https://api.pokemontcgapi.com/v1/sealed");
url.searchParams.set("q", "evolving skies");
url.searchParams.set("kind", "BOOSTER_BOX");
url.searchParams.set("limit", "2");

const res = await fetch(url, {
  headers: { "X-Api-Key": process.env.PTCG_API_KEY ?? "" },
});

if (!res.ok) {
  const { error } = await res.json();
  throw new Error(`${error.code}: ${error.message} (${error.request_id})`);
}

const { data, meta } = await res.json();
```

**Python**

`request.py`

```python
import os, httpx

res = httpx.get(
    "https://api.pokemontcgapi.com/v1/sealed",
    params={"q": "evolving skies", "kind": "BOOSTER_BOX", "limit": "2"},
    headers={"X-Api-Key": os.environ["PTCG_API_KEY"]},
)
res.raise_for_status()
payload = res.json()
```

## Errors

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

| Status | Code | When |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 401 | `MISSING_API_KEY` | No `X-Api-Key` header and no bearer token on a route that requires one. |
| 401 | `INVALID_API_KEY` | The key does not match any account. |
| 400 | `INVALID_CURSOR` | The cursor is malformed, or was issued for a different `orderBy` than the one on this request. |
| 400 | `INVALID_PARAMETER` | A 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. |
| 400 | `LIMIT_EXCEEDED` | `limit` is above 250, or a batch request carries more than 100 ids. |
