Card scanner FAQ
Is this card scanner actually free?
Yes. The free tier includes 1,000 scans a month with no credit card required — the same identify endpoint every paid plan uses.
Does the scanner work for Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh, and sports cards, or just Pokémon?
All of them. Pokémon (EN + JP), Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh, Lorcana, One Piece, Dragon Ball, Digimon, and more, plus baseball, basketball, football, hockey, soccer, and entertainment sets — 400,000+ cards indexed and growing.
What happens if the scanner can't identify my card?
You get an honest needsReview:true with likely alternates instead of a confidently wrong guess — see the docs for the full response shape.
