Tarot Card API

For all your cybermysticism needs. 🔮

Provides information parsed from AE Waite's The Pictorial Key to the Tarot, meeting the OpenAPI 3 spec. This was created as a friendly introduction to REST APIs.


API Usage

  1. See full documentation + play with the API on SwaggerHub

  2. See below for quick start

Quick start

JS:

fetch("https://tarot-api-3hv5.onrender.com/api/v1/cards/random?n=10")
  .then(function (response) {
    return response.json();
  })
  .then(function (response) {
    // handle ten random cards
  })
  .catch(function (error) {
    // handle what went wrong
  });
