The catalog is committed to the repository and mirrored on jsDelivr. Pinned release URLs are immutable and globally cached, so production use costs nothing and needs no account.

CDN, pinned

Recommended for production. Tag URLs never change and have no rate limits.

https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/thedavidweng/opencard-db@v0.2.0/exports/cards-all.json

CDN, latest

Tracks the newest merged data. Cached for about 12 hours, good for prototyping.

https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/thedavidweng/opencard-db@main/exports/cards-all.json

Releases

Every tagged release ships the same exports as downloadable assets.

APR

A REST API you can own

A read-only /v1 Worker with filtering, search, and per-card lookup. Deploy your own instance on the Cloudflare free plan in minutes, or prototype against the official best-effort endpoint.

The official instance asks for a real User-Agent and is rate limited. Production traffic should self-host.

Built by people who read the fine print

Adding a card is a pull request. CI validates the schema, checks your sources, and labels the PR for review.

  1. Copy the template

    templates/card.template.json into data/{country}/

  2. Fill in the fields

    Cite the issuer page for every number you enter

  3. Validate locally

    npm run validate runs the same checks as CI

  4. Open a PR

    A reviewer checks your sources and merges

Card art from your own wallet

On a Mac with your cards in Apple Pay, the export CLI scans your Wallet, diffs it against the live database, and helps you open an art PR. Everything runs locally. Nothing is uploaded.
