One endpoint, every game
The same /v1/identify call that powers this page also handles Pokémon, Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh, Lorcana, One Piece, and sports — no per-game integration work.
Magic: The Gathering card scanner FAQ
Does it handle different MTG printings and set symbols?
Yes — the visual fingerprint match is set- and printing-aware, so a card is returned with its specific set, number, and rarity rather than just the card name.
How fast is a Magic card scan?
About 2–3 seconds per identify, whether you upload a file or point us at a public image URL.
Is the Magic: The Gathering scanner free to try?
Yes — 1,000 identify requests a month on the free tier, no credit card, using the exact same endpoint every paid plan calls.
What happens on a card, foil, or proxy we can't confidently place?
You get needsReview:true and card:null instead of a guessed set and number — with likely alternates listed by confidence, so your app can ask the user to confirm.

Same endpoint, same honest needsReview, every game and sport.
