Citing Palworld TCG market data in videos and articles

Pal Stars market data is free to quote in videos, articles and community posts with attribution. Cite the benchmark as "Pal Stars TCG Price Index (equal-weight, base 1,000)" with the level and the date, or pull the numbers programmatically from the public JSON feeds rather than scraping the page.

The citation line

One line is enough: the index name, the current level, the period covered and a link to the methodology page. Copying the level without the date is what makes market claims age badly, so always include it.

The public feeds

/api/public/price-index.json returns the current level, change over 7 days and the constituent count. /api/public/card-prices.json returns per-card market, low, high and movement. Both are read-only and cached, so a channel can refresh a stat card automatically before every upload.

What the data does not claim

The index measures validated marketplace listings, not every sale that happened. It is a benchmark for direction and relative movement, not an appraisal, and it should never be presented as an official Pocketpair or Bushiroad valuation.

For news desks and wikis

Editorial venues can request a specific breakdown — a set, a rarity tier or a single card's full history — and the weekly market report page already publishes the level, breadth and top movers in a form that is quotable without any extra work.

For community answers

When someone asks what their pull is worth, answer with the actual number for their exact printed code and link the source. That is a genuinely useful answer; posting a bare link with no answer is spam and helps nobody, including the site.
