Strictly Better API exposes 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. We verified a keyless GET endpoint returning JSON (Science & Math). Check the provider docs for rate limits and terms before production use.
