MTGStocks 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.
Spot a card that is moving and check it across stores
Three calls from today's movers to one card's full picture.
{"period": "day", "direction": "gainers", "price_min": 5, "sort": "percent_desc"}The biggest moves today for cards over 5 USD.
{"print_id": "<print_id>"}Price at each store, in each store's currency, and the all-time high and low.
{"print_id": "<print_id>", "days": 365}Twelve months of daily prices, to see whether the move is a blip.
Today's mover, its price by store, and the year behind it.

}One print, six stores, 14 years of history: Black Lotus (Unlimited)
Black Lotus from Unlimited Edition on 2026-11-08: one print call returned its price at six stores in their own currencies, and price_history returned 5,234 daily TCGplayer average points from 2012-06-22 to today.
| Store | Currency | Average price |
|---|---|---|
| TCGplayer | USD | 20,000.00 |
| ManaPool | USD | 21,518.34 |
| Star City Games | USD | 25,999.99 |
| Card Kingdom | USD | 35,099.99 |
| Cardmarket | EUR | 13,281.67 |
TCGplayer all-time high on this print: 105,123.29 USD (2026-08-12), all-time low 1,303.24 USD (2012-07-04). Stores are compared in their own currency; the engine does not convert or blend them, and fields a store does not publish come back null.
What MTGStocks publishes, and what it does not
MTGStocks is Magic only, prices are in the store's own currency. Measured 2026-11-08 against an independent card database and across the site's own routes. Some of these lines go against us.
Black Lotus Unlimited returned 5,234 daily points back to 22 June 2012.
454 sets and about 7,238 price-move rows a day in the USD average list.
TCGplayer market was within 30% on 17 of 19 cards, median ratio 1.00. Cardmarket average differs more, 6 of 9 within 30%, median 0.96, because it is a different measure.
It names no store or currency, so it comes back with currency null. The sellers action has real store prices.
Premium screens beyond their free 5-row preview, and portfolios (they need a login). Magic only.

The questions people actually ask before wiring up MTGStocks.
How far back does the price history go?▾
Per print and per store: TCGplayer daily data goes back to 2012 for older cards (Black Lotus Unlimited has 5,234 daily points from June 2012), Cardmarket to 2017, Card Kingdom to 2022 and Star City Games to 2025. Series are low, average, market, foil and market foil, as far as the store publishes them. Use days or a date range to cut the window.
Which currency are the prices in?▾
Each store block and each history response names its currency. TCGplayer, Card Kingdom, Star City Games and ManaPool are USD; Cardmarket and CardTrader are EUR. Store offers from sellers carry the currency of that row (USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, JPY). Nothing is converted, and USD and EUR are never mixed in one field.
What are interests?▾
MTGStocks' daily table of biggest price moves: each print whose price moved today or this week with its current price, its past price and the percent change. Choose average or market price, regular or foil, and USD or EUR (EUR has the average table only). A move from a near-zero price can show a huge percentage, so use price_min if you want cards with real value.
Does it include foils?▾
Yes. Prints with both finishes return foil prices alongside regular ones and separate foil history series; foil-only prints return null for the regular fields rather than a zero.
Can I get what stores are buying cards for?▾
Yes, from sellers. Each store's offers show sell price, buy price, buying quantity and stock by condition and finish, with the store's own link.
Are the Premium screens included?▾
Only the five-row free teaser MTGStocks shows for each, through premium_preview (trends, penny stocks, underpriced cards, price compare, Secret Lair value and others). The full Premium screens need a paid MTGStocks account.
How do I find a print id?▾
suggest takes part of a card name and returns the closest prints; search returns every printing of a name, 25 per page, with the total. A print id also works as the number at the start of a mtgstocks.com print URL.
What is the MTGStocks API?▾
MTGStocks API is a ReefAPI endpoint group for magic: the gathering daily price history per print since 2012, price movers, store offers, sets and sealed value. It returns live JSON through POST requests under /mtgstocks/v1.
Is the MTGStocks API free to try?▾
Yes. ReefAPI starts with 1,000 free credits, no card required. MTGStocks calls use the same shared credit balance as every other ReefAPI engine.
Do I need a MTGStocks login or account?▾
No login to MTGStocks 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 MTGStocks 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 MTGStocks API use?▾
MTGStocks actions currently cost 1-3 credits per successful call. Failed or blocked calls are free. All APIs draw from one credit pool.
Can I call MTGStocks from an AI assistant or MCP client?▾
Yes. Connect ReefAPI once through MCP and your assistant can call mtgstocks actions with the same key, credit pool and JSON envelope used by normal REST requests.
Is the MTGStocks API a MTGStocks scraper?▾
It is the managed alternative to a DIY MTGStocks 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 magic: the gathering daily price history per print since 2012, price movers, store offers, sets and sealed value back as clean JSON.
350 E-commerce & Marketplaces APIs on the same key
One key, one credit pool, one response envelope. If you are pulling MTGStocks, you are one call away from the rest of the category — no second contract, no second integration.
Need something this API does not do?
Name the endpoint, the field, or a source we do not carry yet. We ship new APIs every week and you would be first to get the key. Real people read every message and reply the same day.
Try it on your own data before you pay anything
The call above is the real endpoint, not a recording. A free key gives you 1,000 credits, the other 631 APIs, and the same envelope everywhere.
Endpoints, parameters and credit costs on this page are read from the live catalog and cannot drift from what the API accepts. Field notes were captured on 2026-11-08.
