Without Writing Code

A ready-to-use Postman collection and environment JSON for the TCG Price Lookup API. Every endpoint is pre-configured with examples. Import, set your key, send your first request.

Download from GitHub → Get API Key
Collection + Environment | Every Endpoint Pre-configured | Postman Desktop & Web | Insomnia | Newman CLI

Three Steps to Your First Request

No code. No configuration. Just import and go.

01

Import

Download both JSON files from GitHub. In Postman, use File → Import and select both the collection and the environment file.

02

Set Your API Key

Select the "TCG Price Lookup" environment from the top-right dropdown. Set the apiKey variable to your key. Auth is inherited by all requests.

03

Send a Request

Open any request from the collection sidebar and hit Send. Every request includes example params and a description of the response.

      "prices": { "nm": 280.00, "lp": 210.00 } }
  ],
  "total": 12
}

Auth Inherited at Collection Level

The collection is configured with API key auth at the top level. Set your key once in the environment, and every request in the collection picks it up automatically — no per-request configuration needed.

The environment file ships with a placeholder apiKey variable. Replace it with your key from tcgpricelookup.com and you're done.

tcg-api-environment.json 
{
  "name": "TCG Price Lookup",
  "values": [
    {
      "key": "apiKey",
      "value": "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE",
      "enabled": true
    }
  ]
}
