Market Data

Search Category Indexes

Changed on

List the category market indexes, or search for one.

Each index is a basket of hand-picked cards (with a grade) for one category, valued daily. latest is the newest daily level (in index points; compare movements in percent) and changes compares it with 1, 7, 30, 90, 180 and 365 days before. Pass an index's slug to category-index-history for its values over time.

Send {} (or no body) to list every index. search matches part of the name, slug or category; category must match exactly. Both ignore case.

Finding the index you need

  1. Send {} to list every index, or narrow the list with search (e.g. {"search": "poke"}) or category (e.g. {"category": "Hockey"}).
  2. Take the slug of the index you want, e.g. hockey. The slug is the index's stable key, so you can store it and skip this step next time.
  3. Pass it as index to category-index-history for its values over time.

Only need today's level and recent moves, e.g. for a dashboard tile? This response has them: latest and changes.

Example curl:

curl -X POST -H "X-API-Key: your-api-key-here" \
