List the sets (groups) for a trading-card game — e.g. every Pokemon or Magic: The Gathering set. Pass game (a categoryId like 3, or a name like "pokemon"/"magic" — resolved against tcg.games), optional q (case-insensitive substring filter on set name), and optional limit (default 100, max 500). Each row is { groupId, name, abbreviation, publishedOn, isSupplemental }. Use the groupId as the `set` parameter on tcg.set-prices / tcg.card. total is the full match count (pre-limit).

/api/tcg/setsPAYMENT-SIGNATURE.The sets API is a pay-per-call tcg endpoint built for AI agents and autonomous software. List the sets (groups) for a trading-card game — e.g.
There is no signup and no API key. An agent (or any HTTP client) hits the endpoint, receives an x402 "402 Payment Required" challenge, signs a sub-cent USDC payment on Base or Solana, and retries — the data comes back on the paid request. That makes it a drop-in sets data source for an agent tool-use loop, an MCP host, or a backend that needs tcg data on demand without onboarding to yet another vendor portal.
