Why Developers Choose CardSight AI
Building card identification from scratch means training machine learning models, licensing card databases, building price scrapers, and handling countless edge cases. CardSight handles all the heavy lifting—99.5% accurate recognition, a 14M+ trading card catalog, market pricing, and production-grade infrastructure—so you can focus on building features your users love.
// What used to take months:
// ❌ Training ML models
// ❌ Licensing card data
// ❌ Building price scrapers
// ❌ Handling edge cases
// Now takes minutes:
import { CardSightAI } from 'cardsightai';
const client = new CardSightAI({ apiKey: 'your_api_key_here' });
const result = await client.identify.card(imageFile);
// Returns everything you need — every card in the photo:
{
"success": true,
"detections": [{
"confidence": "High",
"card": {
"name": "Ken Griffey Jr. #1 RC",
"year": "1989",
"release": { "name": "Upper Deck" },
"cardNumber": "1"
}
}, {
"confidence": "High",
"card": {
"name": "Charizard ex",
"release": { "name": "Pitch Black" },
"cardNumber": "054",
// Japanese print — detected, not guessed
"fields": [{ "key": "CARD_LANGUAGE", "value": "ja" }]
}
}]
