MTGJSON

# File Models

The "Web API" or more commonly known as "files" that MTGJSON.com provides varies from JSON to compressed files to SQL databases. The following documentation describes the JSON-based files and how they are served. Compressed versions of these files have the same data inside of them.

While MTGJSON.com serves a variety of files, there are only a few major file types, and variations to those types, that utilize one or more data models:


  • AllPrintings: Serves all set data using the Set file model.
  • AllIdentifiers: Serves all card data using the Card (Set) data model.
  • AtomicCards: Serves all card data using the Card (Atomic) data model.
  • [Format]: Serves variable set data using the Set file model.
  • [Format]Atomic: Serves variable card data using Card (Atomic) data model.
  • Other files serve specific data using data models such as the Deck, All Prices or other abstract data models.

    For a full list of files, see All Files downloads page.
