Web API
A free open source REST API is available online at
https://api.krcg.org.
It offers a range of features around cards, decks and TWDA.
Data resources
Data resources are under the https://static.krcg.org/data/ directory.
The vtes.json cards file uses the new KRCG API V3 format. The old V2 format is still available at https://static.krcg.org/data/v2/vtes.json but will not be kept up-to-date.
- https://static.krcg.org/data/vtes.json all cards data, with rulings and translations, in JSON format.
- https://static.krcg.org/data/twda.json the TWDA in JSON format.
- https://static.krcg.org/data/twd.htm a normalized version of the official TWDA.
Tournaments extended archive
An extended archive of tournaments, with decklists of all decks (not only winner decks) for further and deeper analysis.
Web resources
The example.html provides a short documentation and an actual example of their use.
Web resources are under the https://static.krcg.org/web/ directory.
- https://static.krcg.org/web/ankha.ttf the historic font to display disciplines and card types (kept for retro-compatibility).
- https://static.krcg.org/web/ankha2.otf an updated font to display disciplines, virtues and card types.
- https://static.krcg.org/web/vtes-clans.otf an updated font to display clans and creeds icons, including new V5 clan icons.
- https://static.krcg.org/web/krcg.js a script to display a card image modal.
- https://static.krcg.org/web/krcg.css a basic CSS to enable the previous items.
- https://static.krcg.org/web/krcg-blogger.js an additional script specifically for Blogger users.
Card Images
Card images are JPG files under the
https://static.krcg.org/card/ directory.
Images filenames are an ascii-only version of card names, with neither space nor punctuation,
and the .jpg file extentions.
For example: https://static.krcg.org/card/powerbasezurich.jpg
Note there are also images for the card backs: https://static.krcg.org/card/cardbackcrypt.jpg and https://static.krcg.org/card/cardbacklibrary.jpg
The translated images, when available, can be found in the subdirectory matching the language,
under the same filename as the original card image.
For example: https://static.krcg.org/card/fr/fame.jpg
Original card scans are available set by set in the set subdirectory,
with one directory per set.
For example: https://static.krcg.org/card/set/jyhad/44magnum.jpg
These images URLs are used in the vtes.json file.
Finally, you can download all the current official cards images (in english) as a single ZIP file.
If you need cache busting, you can add any
fragment identifier
to any resource URL here.
For example,
https://static.krcg.org/card/fame.jpg#2022-01-25-14
Alternatively, you can use the /bust prefix as URL path, followed by any digits. For example, https://static.krcg.org/bust/2022012514/card/fame.jpg
On a similar note, the card images files hold a meaningful modification date, which means you can also inspect and trust this modification date in the HTTP header of the file:
curl -I -X HEAD "https://static.krcg.org/card/archon.jpg"
will get you (among others):
Last-Modified: Thu, 19 Aug 2021 20:01:34 GMT
you can use the HEAD method to gather this information before querying the files
Symbols images
Vector and raster versions of symbol images are available under the following directories:
- https://static.krcg.org/svg/ has SVG versions that display well at all resolutions
- https://static.krcg.org/png/ has PNG with alpha (transparency) for your compositions
- https://static.krcg.org/png_wb/ has PNG with alpha (transparency) and white borders and background, ideal for online use and inclusion in third party tools.
Each directory has the same sub-structure: clan contains clan icons, including, for Sabbat clans, the "red wax seal" version prefixed seal, with clan/deprecated containing the old symbols that have now been replaced. disc/inf contains disciplines, virtues and other ability icons like Flight, Maleficia and Striga, using the standard trigrams as filenames except for flight, disc/sup contains the superior version of disciplines with the same filenames. Finally, icon contains other game icons like blood and pool cost, advanced and merged symbols, etc.
Please note that a number of additional World of Darkness symbols are also available on the official World of Darkness website
