YGOPRODeck
What it is
YGOPRODeck is a Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG community site with a card database, deck tools, and a free public API. Card searches can use fields, ranges, and boolean operators. The deck builder lets users edit and share decks and view prices; submitting a deck requires login. Tournament and meta decks are organized by categories such as format and archetype. The site also lists a card pack simulator, cube drafting, a Master Duel arena, forums, and tournament breakdowns. Its API provides card, card set, archetype, random-card, and database-version data in JSON, and supports TCG, OCG, Speed Duel, Rush Duel, and GOAT. Requests are limited to 20 per second; exceeding that rate blocks access for one hour. The API guide asks users to store retrieved data locally to reduce requests and warns that failing to do so may lead to IP blacklisting or API rollback. The site is available on the web and through its API. It has a free plan, with paid plans from €4.99/mo.
