Blueprints

GET /blueprints/export
PARAMS expansion_id

The list of items that can be sold and/or purchased.

A Blueprint represents an object model that you can buy or sell.

The Black Lotus has been printed 3 times and each reprint corresponds to a Blueprint. Selling a Black Lotus from the Alpha edition is way different than selling a Black Lotus from the Beta edition.

The API returns a list of Blueprints matching an Expansion.

Accepted parameters:

Properties

Categories, Blueprints and Products have properties. Properties are objects that specify the little details of the items you sell. You are selling a Black Lotus Alpha, that's great, but there is more - you should specify the condition and the language. All these extra details are the Properties.

A die has a number of faces and a color (red die, 6 faces. Blue die, 20 faces). Number of faces and color are Properties.

The Property object tells you all the possible values it can take. For example a condition can be Mint, Near Mint, Slightly Played, Moderately Played, Played, Heavily Played or Poor, but not 'Very Poor'. Very Poor is not an acceptable value for the condition Property.

name
string
The name used to identify the Property
type
'string' | 'boolean'

possible_values
array

Batch Product Operations

Batch operations are the preferred way to operate on many Products at the same time (create, update or delete them). The create, update and delete operations have 3 endpoints, each accepting an array of Products.

Product operations are asynchronous: the endpoint returns immediately and the response is a job. A job has only a string value, the uuid code. You can check the status of the job at the endpoint /jobs using that code.

Create

POST /products/bulk_create

Create multiple Products. The request has a products key containing an array of JSON objects describing the many products you want to create.

You can specify the "error_mode" key for each product to have better control over the validation of the products you are about to create.

The state of the Job indicates the progress: pending means that it has not begun yet, running means the Job is in progress ,unprocessable means there was an error. completed means the Job finished successfully.

The stats indicate the number of Products processed correctly (ok), processed but with warnings (warning) or not processed at all (error).

Each products specified in the payload appears in the results section, along with the status and the product_id created/updated/deleted on CardTrader. The products keep the same position they had in the payload (job_index) so you know, for example, tnat the second element in the payload will be the second element in the results. In the example we created 3 products, so we got 3 results.

CSV Product Operations

You can also manage your Products using CSV files.

Upload

POST /product_imports

You can totally replace your inventory with the content of a CSV file or you can just add new Products. You have to upload one CSV per Game because each Game has different properties. Also, you cannot import more than one file per Game at a time. Differently from other APIs, the POST body is a multipart form containing the following parameters:

curl https://api.cardtrader.com/api/v2/product_imports \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer [YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN]" \
  -F  csv=path_to_csv.csv \
  -F  game_id=1 \
  -F  replace_stock_or_add_to_stock=replace_stock \
  -F  column_names=expansion_code|_|name|quantity|language|condition|_|price_cents \
  -G

Order object

csv
file
The file to upload
game_id
text
This parameter is the id of the game of your products.
error_mode
strict | null
If specified and set to "strict", the API will fail and not create a Product if you pass a wrong Property. Otherwise, it will return a warning and accept the Product, automatically fixing the wrong Property with its default value. If, for example, you send condition "Plaied" in strict mode, the Product will not be created. In non-strict error_mode instead, the Product will be created with the default condition "Near Mint"
replace_stock_or_add_to_stock
text
This parameter, as the name suggests, can have 2 values: "replace_stock" or "add_to_stock". If you use the first option, your entire stock for that game will be replaced at the end of the import (this option is good if you have your inventory on another platform and want to sync CardTrader to it). If you choose this at the end of the import your entire inventory(per game) is replaced with the content of the csv. Otherwise, the API will add the items you specified to your Products.
column_names
text
This parameter allows you to specify the structure of your CSV file. It's a string composed of the names of the columns separated by a "|" char. You can use any name in the section below.

Allowed Column Names:

  • name
  • quantity
  • bundle
  • expansion_code
  • expansion_name
  • expansion_id
  • price
  • price_cents
  • language
  • condition
  • foil
  • signed
  • altered
  • first_edition
  • expansion_code
  • mkm_id
  • user_data_field
  • tcgplayer_id
  • scryfall_id
  • scryfall_id
  • description
  • rarity

If there's a column you don't want CardTrader to handle instead of writing its name you can put a "_".

A valid .csv must contain at least one of the following combinations of columns, to allow CardTrader to identify the product:

  • name, expansion_code
  • name, expansion_name
  • name, expansion_id (expansion_id is the CardTrader internal Expansion ID)
  • name, collector_number, expansion_code
  • name, collector_number, expansion_name
  • name, collector_number, expansion_id
  • collector_number, expansion_code
  • collector_number, expansion_name
  • collector_number, expansion_id
  • mkm_id
  • tcgplayer_id
  • scryfall_id
  • blueprint_id

The API is asynchronous, so it will immediately return a JSON object containing the id of the import operation. You can check its status with the following API.

Order Management

Order Lifecycle

Order Lifecycle

Each order has 8 different possible states.

Those states will change over time. They are different depending on if the order was created with CardTraderzero or not.

Standard CardTrader order

Once a customer buys something, this will create an order in a paid state. That means that the store that receives the order has to send it.

Once the seller sends the order, the state of it will go to sent

When the buyer receives the order it will go to arrived

Once the buyer is reviewed or a timeout has expired order will go to done.

CardTrader Zero order

For CardTrader Zero, there's one additional state: hub_pending. The seller will receive every order from CardTrader itself in this state. That means that the card is sold but has not to be sent yet.

Once per week, it will be created a new order in paid state, with all the items of the others. The other orders are set to closed. The seller has to send to CardTrader the merged order. If you are using an external system to manage your stock, for CardTrader Zero orders you should decrement your stock ONLY for hub_pending orders, otherwise you risk to do it twice.

You have to check 2 fields inside the payload:

  • via_cardtrader_zero
  • state
state via_cardtrader_zero You should decrement your stock
hub_pending true Yes
paid true No
paid false Yes

Special States

If something goes wrong an order can go to these states:
  • request_for_cancel if one of the seller or the buyer requested cancellation.
  • canceled if the cancellation request has been accepted
  • lost if the order gets lost before being arrived

DataPayload

When the webhook is of type order.create or order.update, DataPayload is the object of type Order that has been created or modified.

When the webhook is of type order.destroy, DataPayload is empty.

Check the Webhook Signature

It is possible to verify that the received webhook really comes from CardTrader Full API.

Each original request coming from the Full API is signed by a Signature header, which is the base64 representation of the HMAC digest via sha256 of the request body, signed with the app's shared_secret.
