VTES Static Files

This is a server hosting development resources for V:tES (Vampire: the Eternal Struggle) developers. It is optimised for performance: files are static and served under a 1 hour Cache-Control.
You can rely on the HTTP Last-Modified header to check for updates.

The files available here are shared under the conditions of the agreement.
They are free to use under the same conditions.

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.

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.

Card Images

Card images are available in both JPG and WEBP formats under the https://static.krcg.org/card/ directory. Images filenames are an ascii-only version of card names, with neither space nor punctuation, and either the .jpg or .webp file extension.
For example: https://static.krcg.org/card/powerbasezurich.jpg or https://static.krcg.org/card/powerbasezurich.webp

WEBP images offer significantly reduced file sizes compared to JPG. Use .webp for faster loading in web applications that support it.

Note there are also images for the card backs: https://static.krcg.org/card/cardbackcrypt.jpg and https://static.krcg.org/card/cardbacklibrary.jpg (also available as .webp)

The translated images, when available, can be found in the subdirectory matching the language, under the same filename as the original card image (JPG only).
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 (JPG only).
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 (contains WEBP images).

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:

Each directory has the same sub-structure: clan contains clan icons, including, for Sabbat clans, the "red wax seal" version prefixed seal. clan/deprecated contains 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
