Bulk Data Files
Scryfall provides daily exports of our card data in bulk files.
Each of these files is represented as a bulk_data object via the API.
URLs for files change their timestamp each day,
and can be fetched programmatically.
Please note:
- Card objects in bulk data include price information,
but prices should be considered dangerously stale after 24 hours.
Only use bulk price information to track trends or provide a general estimate of card value.
Prices are not updated frequently enough to power a storefront or sales system.
You consume price information at your own risk.
- Updates to gameplay data (such as card names, Oracle text, mana costs, etc) are much less frequent.
If you only need gameplay information, downloading card data once per week or right after set releases
would most likely be sufficient.
- Every card type in every product is included, including
planar cards,
schemes,
Vanguard cards,
tokens,
emblems,
and funny cards.
Make sure you’ve reviewed documentation for the Card type.
Bulk data is only collected once every 12 hours.
You can use the card API methods
to retrieve fresh objects instead.
The Art Tags and Oracle Tags files contain community-maintained tag data
from the Tagger project.
See the Tags documentation for the object format
and guidance on joining tags to cards.
