Strictly Better API

Description

This API allows users to retrieve and search for obsolete cards in JSON format. Users can also find functional reprints and access various endpoints with a limit on the number of results per request.

What can you use it for?

Build a browser tool to show "upgrades" for any Magic card, a deck-helper that flags obsolete choices, or a research script summarizing functional reprints — all by calling a simple JSON API. The API returns up to 50 items per request and supports page query for pagination, so you can fetch lists or single-card lookups. There are no signup steps or keys mentioned in the docs, but calls are throttled to about 100 requests per minute, so batch accordingly.
