How CardSearchEngine works

CardSearchEngine identifies trading cards, sports cards, and sealed products by comparing a query image against each image in your reference collection.

When you send an image to the API, CardSearchEngine analyzes the visual features of the card or product image and returns the closest matches from your dataset. Results are ranked by score, with the highest scoring match listed first.

Each result includes:

• a filepath that identifies the matched reference image in your system
• a score indicating the best ranking match
• bounding box information showing which part of the image was used for matching

CardSearchEngine does not return images or metadata. The API returns the filepath of the matching image so you can retrieve and display the associated data such as card name, set, or pricing from your own database.
