Deck of Cards – A playing card API

In plain words

Deck of Cards is an API that provides programmatic access to virtual playing card decks. Developers can create shuffled decks, draw cards, and manage multiple deck instances for building card games and applications. The API supports customizable deck counts, card drawing operations, and automatic cleanup of inactive decks after two weeks. It's designed for developers building card game applications or simulations.

Add deck_count as a GET or POST parameter to define the number of Decks you want to use. Blackjack typically uses 6 decks. The default is 1. The count variable defines how many cards to draw from the deck. Be sure to replace deck_id with a valid deck_id. We use the deck_id as an identifier so we know who is playing with what deck. After two weeks, if no actions have been made on the deck then we throw it away. TIP : replace <<deck_id>> with " new " to create a shuffled deck and draw cards from that deck in the same request. Don't throw away a deck when all you want to do is shuffle. Include the deck_id on your call to shuffle your cards. Don't worry about reminding us how many decks you are…from deckofcardsapi.com

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
