How to get graded pokemon card prices from csv or api

Jimmi 6 days ago updated by sales 6 days ago 3

I am a little confused about what data is available through the csv download and the api as well.

When i download the pokemon csv price file, i get the following data:
id,console-name,product-name,loose-price

But when i read your documentation, it should return the same data as the api does, but i don't see the graded prices for each card?

Is it intended that this info is not included, and am i reading the documentation wrong?
If it is in fact not intended to get this info from the csv file, is it possible to get it via the api?

I just did a test with the example from your documentation, and it seems that api request does not return any price at all, not even the loose price?

Here is the test i did:
https://www.pricecharting.com/api/product?t=c0b53bce27c1bdab90b1605249e600dc43dfd1d5&id=2771297

which only returns this:

{
"console-name": "Pokemon Fusion Strike","id": "2771297","product-name": "Gengar VMAX #271","status": "success"}

I hope you can help me get some clarification in this regard!

Have a great day.

The full API and CSV data is only available on the Legendary tier.  The Collector tier includes loose prices only.

Oh okay perfect, that clears things up! thanks :)

Quick follow up question:

When using the api. Is it possible to get all cards from a set ?
For example, when i make the api request to get products from "fusion strike" pokemon set, it returns an array with 412 cards/products. However there are a little under 600 products in total for that set, and as far as i can see there is no pagination set up. So how do i get the last ~200 products?

CSV download is the best way to get all the data for a particular set.  The API does not support any calls that limit data to only 1 set BUT return all the items.  

Every set page on the site has a "Download Price List" link on the page for Legendary subscribers to download those lists.
