Disney Lorcana API: Card Data vs Prices (2026)

Disney Lorcana went from a 2023 launch to one of the best-selling trading card games in the world, and the tooling around it has not entirely caught up. If you are building a Lorcana deck builder, collection tracker or price alert, the first thing you discover is that card data and card prices come from completely different places.

This guide covers both, and is specific about where each one stops.

lorcana-api.com

lorcana-api.com is the community card database, and it is genuinely good. Free, open source, no account, no ads, no API key — you can query it from a browser tab.

What it offers:

• Complete card data: name, cost, colour, type, rarity, lore, inkable, body text, classifications
• Card images (hosted by Ravensburger)
• A bulk endpoint that dumps the whole catalogue in one call
• Self-hostable, since the whole thing is open source

Where it stops: the payload has no price fields. A bulk card record returns Artist, Set_Name, Color, Cost, Inkable, Rarity, Unique_ID, Body_Text and so on — everything about what the card is, nothing about what it costs (checked August 2026). The full field list is in our endpoint reference, alongside the same breakdown for Scryfall, MTGJSON and pokemontcg.io.

That is not a criticism. It is a card database and it is upfront about being one. But if you are pricing a collection, you need a second source.

TCG API

TCG API covers the other half: 3,627 Lorcana cards across 20 sets, priced from TCGPlayer marketplace data and refreshed daily.

What it offers:

• Market, low and median prices per card, split by printing (Normal and Foil tracked separately)
• Per-condition pricing — Near Mint through Damaged — on Pro and Business plans
• Price history and 24h/7d/30d change tracking
• The same endpoints across 54 games, so a multi-game tool needs one integration
• Free tier: 100 requests/day, no credit card

Where it stops: card metadata is thinner than lorcana-api.com’s for Lorcana-specific fields. There is no Inkable flag, no lore value, no body text. For a deck builder you want both sources.

curl "https://api.tcgapi.dev/v1/search?q=Woody&game=lorcana-tcg&per_page=3" \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_KEY"

const res = await fetch(
  'https://api.tcgapi.dev/v1/search?q=Woody&game=lorcana-tcg&per_page=3',
  { headers: { 'X-API-Key': process.env.TCGAPI_KEY } }
);
const { data } = await res.json();

// /v1/search returns one flat row per card with its lowest-priced printing
data.forEach(card => {
  console.log(`${card.name} — ${card.set_name} (${card.rarity})`);
  console.log(`  ${card.printing}: $${(card.market_price ?? 0).toFixed(2)}`);
});

Which to use

Use lorcana-api.com for anything about the card itself — deck legality, ink cost, lore values, card text search, images.

Use TCG API for anything about what a card is worth — collection valuation, price alerts, market movers, store pricing.

Use both for a full application. Most Lorcana tools do: card data from the community API, pricing from a marketplace-backed one. They key cleanly on card name plus set.

Getting the sets

Lorcana releases move fast — 20 sets since launch, with Attack of the Vine! (270 cards) the most recent major release and larger sets like Reign of Jafar at 280 cards. To list them:

curl "https://api.tcgapi.dev/v1/games/lorcana-tcg/sets?per_page=100" \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_KEY"

Each set returns its card count and release date, so you can detect a new release and backfill prices without hardcoding a set list.
