Marvel Snap Zone APImarvelsnapzone.com ↗
Access Marvel Snap card stats, abilities, variants, and location effects via 4 structured endpoints. Query by slug, paginate the full library, or search by name.
What is the Marvel Snap Zone API?
The Marvel Snap Zone API exposes 4 endpoints covering cards, card variants, and game locations from marvelsnapzone.com. The get_cards endpoint returns a paginated list of every card in the database with fields including cost, power, ability description, art URL, and nested variant objects. Single-card lookups, full-text name search, and a complete location list are also available.

Typed, relational, agent-ready
A generated client with real types, enums, and the links between objects — the structure a flat JSON response can't carry. Autocompletes in your editor and reads cleanly to coding agents.

}About the Marvel Snap Zone API
Card Data
The get_cards endpoint returns a paginated array sorted alphabetically by card name. Each card object includes slug, card_def_id, name, description, cost, power, source, art_url, type, and a variants array. Pagination is controlled via limit and offset integer parameters, and the response includes a total field so you can calculate page counts without a separate call.
Single Card Lookup and Search
get_card_details accepts a slug string (e.g., iron-man, doctor-doom) and returns the full field set for that card, including every available variant with its own id, category, rarity, source, and art_url. If the slug does not match a card, the endpoint returns input_not_found. The search_cards endpoint performs a case-insensitive substring match against both name and slug fields, making it useful for partial queries like doom or spider. It returns a results array and a total count.
Locations
get_locations requires no inputs and returns the full list of Marvel Snap locations sorted alphabetically. Each location object includes slug, card_def_id, name, description, abilities, rarity, tip, difficulty, released, has_change, and additional scheduling fields. The tip and difficulty fields are useful for building game-guide features. The response also includes a total count of locations in the dataset.
The Marvel Snap Zone API is a managed, monitored endpoint for marvelsnapzone.com — not a raw scraper you maintain. Every endpoint is automatically health-checked on a schedule, and when marvelsnapzone.com changes and a check fails, the API is automatically queued for repair and re-verified. It is built to keep working as the site underneath it changes.
This isn't an official marvelsnapzone.com API — it's an independent, maintained REST wrapper over public data. Where the source has no official API (or only a limited one), Parse gives you a stable contract over a source that never promised one, and keeps it current. Need a new endpoint or field? You can revise it yourself in plain English and the agent rebuilds it against the live site in minutes — contributing the change back to the shared API is free.
Will this API break when the source site changes?+
Is this an official API from the source site?+
Can I fix or extend this API myself if I need a new endpoint or field?+
What happens if I call an endpoint that has an issue?+
- Build a searchable card browser displaying cost, power, and ability text from
get_cards. - Display all art variants for a specific card using
get_card_detailsvariant objects. - Populate a deck-builder tool with card slugs and energy costs from the full paginated library.
- Render a location guide showing difficulty ratings and tips from
get_locations. - Track newly released locations using
releasedandhas_changefields fromget_locations. - Implement autocomplete card search using substring queries against
search_cards. - Show card acquisition sources by filtering on the
sourcefield returned by any card endpoint.
| Tier | Price | Credits/month | Rate limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0/mo | 100 | 5 req/min |
| Hobby | $30/mo | 1,000 | 20 req/min |
| Developer | $100/mo | 5,000 | 100 req/min |
One credit = one API call regardless of which marketplace API you call. Exceeding the rate limit returns a 429 response. Authenticate with the X-API-Key header.
Does Marvel Snap Zone have an official developer API?+
What does the `variants` array in a card response contain?+
id, category (e.g., a series or bundle name), rarity, source describing how the variant is obtained, and an art_url pointing to the variant's artwork image. A single card can have multiple variant entries if it has been released in different art styles.Does the API cover deck lists, win-rate statistics, or meta rankings?+
How does pagination work with `get_cards`?+
offset to set the starting index and an integer limit to control how many cards are returned per request. The response always includes a total field with the full library count, which you can use to calculate whether additional pages exist.Are card bundle or season pass prices included in the card data?+
source field describes how a card or variant is obtained (e.g., season pass, shop) but does not include price amounts. You can fork this API on Parse and revise it to surface pricing information if the source site exposes it.
