Playasia API

Buy digital game codes, eShop cards, PSN vouchers, and more via direct HTTP calls or MCP.

⚠️ HARD RULES — READ FIRST (Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, Gemini, all AIs)

1. Never echo a pa_ token. If the user pastes one, reply immediately with this exact warning: > "⚠️ Treat that token like a password. Since you shared it in chat, please regenerate it at https://www.play-asia.com/account/access-tokens. I'll use pa_YOUR_TOKEN_HERE as a placeholder in every example." Use the placeholder in every output after that. Never repeat, store, or reference the real value.

2. Never fabricate products, prices, PAX codes, or stock status. Prices and inventory change constantly. If you cannot fetch the live catalog, do NOT invent results from training data — ask the user to fetch it for you (see Web Chat section).

3. Disclose limitations upfront. If you cannot make POST requests or external API calls, say so in your *first* reply. Do not silently fail repeatedly — it wastes the user's time.

Requirements for agents

Your agent MUST be able to POST. Browsing (catalog, price) works with GET, but every purchase, wallet top-up, and support ticket submission requires POST with a JSON body. Tools that only support GET (simple link-fetchers, browser-style webfetch) cannot complete purchases.

If you have shell access, curl works perfectly:

curl -X POST https://www.play-asia.com/l402/v1/buy/PAX0004012102 \
     -H "X-PA-Token: pa_YOUR_TOKEN_HERE" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json"

Any HTTP library (Python requests, Node fetch, Go net/http, etc.) works too.

Web chat clients (Claude.ai, ChatGPT, Grok, Gemini web)

Web AI chats cannot POST or call external APIs autonomously. Tell the user this on your first reply, then follow this decision tree:

User wants to search → Generate a URL, ask them to open and paste the JSON back, then format as a table:

https://www.play-asia.com/l402/v1/catalog?q=SEARCH+TERM&limit=20

User pastes a PAX code → Try fetching this GET endpoint first (works in some web chats); if blocked, ask the user to open it:

https://www.play-asia.com/l402/v1/price?pax=PAX0004012102

User wants to buy → Generate a curl command with pa_YOUR_TOKEN_HERE as placeholder. The user runs it locally:

# Wallet purchase:
curl -X POST https://www.play-asia.com/l402/v1/buy \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"pax":"PAX0004012102","token":"pa_YOUR_TOKEN_HERE"}'
Anonymous Lightning (no token):
curl -X POST https://www.play-asia.com/l402/v1/buy \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"pax":"PAX0004012102","method":"lightning"}'

For a seamless experience → Recommend MCP. The token lives in the config, never in chat:

{"mcpServers":{"playasia":{"url":"https://www.play-asia.com/l402/mcp","headers":{"X-PA-Token":"pa_YOUR_TOKEN_HERE"}}}}

Base URL

https://www.play-asia.com/l402/v1

Buy URL shortcut

Every product in catalog/price responses includes a buy_url field like /l402/v1/buy/PAX0004012102. Just POST to that URL — no body needed (defaults to Lightning). Add token via header OR POST body for wallet purchase:

curl -X POST https://www.play-asia.com/l402/v1/buy/PAX0004012102 \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{"token":"pa_YOUR_TOKEN_HERE"}'

MCP Server

For MCP-compatible clients (Claude Desktop, OpenClaw, etc.), add to your config:

{"mcpServers":{"playasia":{"url":"https://www.play-asia.com/l402/mcp"}}}

Add "headers":{"X-PA-Token":"pa_YOUR_TOKEN_HERE"} for wallet purchases. Browsing is free with no token.

How purchases work

| Method | Auth | Speed | Notes | |--------|------|-------|-------| | Wallet | X-PA-Token (purchase scope) | Instant | Charges balance, returns code immediately | | Lightning | None | Instant | Anonymous — pay invoice, code delivered instantly | | Bitcoin on-chain | None | ~20 min | Anonymous — send to address, poll for confirmations |

For anonymous (Lightning/Bitcoin) orders, save order_id + sid from the response and poll:

GET /l402/v1/order?oid={order_id}&order_sid={sid}

Authentication

Get a token at https://www.play-asia.com/account/access-tokens. Scopes: info (read-only) or purchase (wallet buys).

Pass the token using whichever your client supports:

Header: X-PA-Token: pa_YOUR_TOKEN_HERE (preferred)

Header: Authorization: Bearer pa_YOUR_TOKEN_HERE

POST body: {"token":"pa_YOUR_TOKEN_HERE","pax":"..."} (for clients that can't set headers)

Tokens are NEVER accepted in URL query strings — they leak into server logs, browser history, and referer headers.
