These are the Terms of Service for using the Pokémon TCG API. You must read these terms and agree to them before using an API Key for the Pokémon TCG API account. If you do not agree with these terms, you may not use the Pokémon TCG API.

We're going to use some shorthand to make this easier to read: When we say "Pokémon TCG API" we mean the Pokémon TCG Developer Portal, API, chat bots, chat rooms, and other related services. When we say "we" or "us" we mean the Pokémon TCG Developer team - those that actually develop the API.

We may modify these terms at any time. We’ll try not to, but just know that we can change these terms at any time. If the changes are material, we’ll let you know by email or by posting a notice before the changes go into effect. The notice will designate a reasonable amount of time after which the new terms will go into effect for all users. If you don’t agree to the new terms, you may delete your account and stop using the Pokémon TCG API. If you do not delete your account or do not stop using the Pokémon TCG API within the notice period, your content and use of the site will be subject to the new Terms of Service going forward.

You must follow these rules for acceptable use. These rules protect you and others on the Pokémon TCG API from disruptive and toxic behavior.

One API Key per person and one API Key per team/company

  • You may at most use one API Key to interact with the Pokémon TCG API

Your Pokémon TCG API account belongs to you alone, and is not shareable or transferable

  • You may not register a Pokémon TCG API account with the intent to share access to it with other parties or make it intentionally insecure, open, or "generic". This includes sharing access to API Keys.
  • You may not sell, trade, or transfer ownership of your Pokémon TCG API account to another party

Failure to comply has consequences. If you fail to adhere to these guidelines for acceptable use, we may (but do not have to) take any of the following actions:

The Pokémon TCG API team may have to take actions or make decisions about acceptable behavior that lie outside of these guidelines to protect themselves or other users.
