Magic The Gathering
magicthegathering.io is a keyless, community-run REST API covering Magic: The Gathering cards, sets, types, and formats, backed by a full JSON dump of card data. It predates Wizards' own Gatherer API push and is now the slower, less actively maintained option compared to Scryfall, though it remains live and free with no registration required.
