Ka-nabell is a normal ReefAPI surface — the same four rules that hold for every other engine on the key.
No OAuth app, no request signing, no per-site account. One key covers all 632 engines.
Every route is a POST with a JSON body. Parameters are validated against the published schema before anything is charged.
Credits, not seats. Failed and blocked calls are never charged, and nothing is cached: every call reads the source live.
One envelope everywhere. meta carries latency_ms, record_count and the endpoint that answered.
Sell-or-hold for a new Yu-Gi-Oh! set in three calls
From a set to every card's sale price, buy price and sales speed.

For every card of a set: what it sells for, what the shop pays, and how fast it sells, in yen, from the live shop.

}One card number, three rarities, two prices each: Ka-nabell as data
Ka-nabell sells each card per condition grade and publishes what it pays to buy it back. Measured on Yu-Gi-Oh! IMPH-JP067 パワー・オブ・ザ・デュエリスト (イモータル・フェニックス), 2026-11-08:

Prices are yen including consumption tax. The buy price is returned only while the shop is buying the card; when it takes a card only inside a bulk parcel it prints no price, and buyback_status says bulk_only with buyback_price_jpy null rather than a number the shop does not show. Lower-grade buy prices are the shop's published percentage of the top-grade price.
What Ka-nabell publishes, and what it does not
ka-nabell.com only — Japan, prices in JPY including tax, three games (Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG, Duel Masters). Measured 2026-11-08: 36 of 36 live cases across six actions; 16 products from all three games re-read on the shop's own sale and buy pages at the same moment, 64 of 64 values equal (grade prices and stock, buy price, wanted quantity, buy status).
Price and stock per grade, the cheapest in-stock price, last price change, copies sold in 7 and 30 days, buy price with the rate table and wanted quantity, card text and stats.
Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG and Duel Masters. The shop has sold no other game since October 2026.
Only the last price change, not a full history.
Sealed boxes and packs (singles only).

The questions people actually ask before wiring up Ka-nabell.
Which games does Ka-nabell cover?▾
Three: the Pokémon Trading Card Game, Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG (Japanese) and Duel Masters - the games the shop sells and buys since its October 2026 relaunch. On 2026-11-08 that was 32,067 Pokémon, 45,660 Yu-Gi-Oh! and 24,544 Duel Masters products; games returns the live counts.
How are condition grades priced?▾
Each product lists every grade the game uses with its own price and stock: Pokémon S, A, B, C; Yu-Gi-Oh! and Duel Masters A, B, C, D and 未査定特価 (not graded yet, sold cheaper). price_jpy is the cheapest grade in stock, the same 円〜 price the shop shows; condition filters search to cards with stock in one grade.
Does it give the buy-back (買取) price?▾
Yes, on every row: buyback_price_jpy for a top-grade copy, the shop's percentage for lower grades (for example 通常: B 80%, C 45%, D 15%) and those amounts in yen, plus buyback_wanted_qty, how many copies the shop will still take. In a check of 16 products against the shop's own buy pages, every buy price and quantity matched.
Can I find PSA graded cards?▾
Yes. Ka-nabell lists slabs as products of their own, such as (PSA10)N; graded true returns only those, and each row says grader and grade. card on a raw card also lists its slabs among other_printings.
Can I see which cards are selling or dropping in price?▾
sort best_selling_7d or best_selling_30d orders by copies sold, and every row carries sold_count_7d, sold_count_30d and last_sold_at. price_trend down returns cards whose price was cut in the last 30 days (the shop's 値下げ list) and on buyback_search price_trend up returns cards whose buy price was raised.
How do I search by set or card number?▾
sets lists every set with its id, code and how many products it has (814 for Yu-Gi-Oh!); give the id as set_id. card_number takes the printed number, such as QCCU-JP170, 180/171 or P36/Y21, in any letter case.
What is the Ka-nabell API?▾
Ka-nabell API is a ReefAPI endpoint group for ka-nabell (カーナベル) as json: japanese pokémon, yu-gi-oh! and duel masters single-card prices per condition grade with stock, psa slabs and the shop's buy-back prices, in jpy. It returns live JSON through POST requests under /kanabell/v1.
Is the Ka-nabell API free to try?▾
Yes. ReefAPI starts with 1,000 free credits, no card required. Ka-nabell calls use the same shared credit balance as every other ReefAPI engine.
Do I need a Ka-nabell login or account?▾
No login to Ka-nabell is needed for the API response. You call ReefAPI with your x-api-key header, and the playground can run live examples before you create a production key.
How fresh is the Ka-nabell data?▾
The page example is captured from a live search call, and production requests fetch live data through ReefAPI rather than a static sample.
How many credits does the Ka-nabell API use?▾
Ka-nabell actions currently cost 1-2 credits per successful call. Failed or blocked calls are free. All APIs draw from one credit pool.
Can I call Ka-nabell from an AI assistant or MCP client?▾
Yes. Connect ReefAPI once through MCP and your assistant can call kanabell actions with the same key, credit pool and JSON envelope used by normal REST requests.
Is the Ka-nabell API a Ka-nabell scraper?▾
It is the managed alternative to a DIY Ka-nabell scraper. Instead of building and maintaining your own scraper — proxies, headless browsers, captcha and constant breakage — you call one ReefAPI endpoint and get the same ka-nabell (カーナベル) as json: japanese pokémon, yu-gi-oh! and duel masters single-card prices per condition grade with stock, psa slabs and the shop's buy-back prices, in jpy back as clean JSON.
Why does my Ka-nabell scraper keep getting blocked?▾
Most Ka-nabell scrapers break on anti-bot defenses, rate limits and IP bans that need rotating residential proxies and browser fingerprinting to clear. ReefAPI handles all of that for you — no proxies, no captchas, no maintenance — and returns live JSON. Blocked calls are free.
350 E-commerce & Marketplaces APIs on the same key
One key, one credit pool, one response envelope. If you are pulling Ka-nabell, you are one call away from the rest of the category — no second contract, no second integration.
Need something this API does not do?
