A platform that mirrors Cambridge TCG's standard
anticipatedAdopt our standard freely. CC0. Your platform can serve the same `{ data, _meta }` envelope, the same `<game>-<set>-<number>-<lang>` SKU format, the same content-hash addressing. Our `/api/v1/federation/identify/[hash]` is bilateral — implement the same endpoint on your platform and our crons will resolve through you. There is no partnership to negotiate. The standard is the contract.
Why we anticipated · what we prepared · how they arrive
Anticipated because: Federation is what turns Cambridge TCG from an aggregator into a standard. Every mirror that adopts the envelope makes the standard more durable.
Prepared:
packages/data-spec — JSON Schema 2020-12 for envelope, freshness, error codes, sourcespackages/sku — canonical SKU format + parser + builder/api/v1/federation/identify/[hash] — bilateral content-hash resolution/api/v1/manifest — typed inventory you can codegen against/standards/adopters — registry for the first arrival to land in (currently empty)docs/STANDARDS-LICENSE.md — CC0 license for the spec corpus
Arrival protocol: 1. Cite the CC0 license. 2. Implement the envelope shape on your responses. 3. Use the canonical SKU format. 4. (Optional) Implement /api/v1/federation/identify/[hash] for bilateral resolution. 5. (Optional) Register at /standards/adopters.
