TCGdex vs Universalis
TCGdex is a keyless, multilingual Pokémon TCG database exposing card, set, and series data via both REST and GraphQL over eight-plus languages. The old `tcgdex.net/docs` link stopped working after that domain was rebuilt as a separate consumer collection-manager app; the API's own docs and reference now live at `tcgdex.dev`.
Universalis is a crowdsourced market board API for Final Fantasy XIV, aggregating item listings, prices, and sale history submitted by the game's own community-plugin ecosystem across every data center and world. It exposes a keyless REST API alongside a WebSocket feed for real-time listing updates, both free to use. The old `/docs/index.html` path now permanently redirects to a dedicated documentation site.
