JSON or URL interface to scenario characters


Website Feedback

Dark Archive

I was over at warhorn.net, suggesting that for PFS characters it would be great if they could hyperlink to my character at paizo.

Unfortunately, the only url seems to be http://paizo.com/people/GarkTorgson, which is not very machine-friendly.

At the very, very least, it would be nice to have URLs of the form

http://paizo.com/people/21060/character/2 (or something - maybe "pfs" instead of "people")

that could be linked to. Even better would be a JSON interface for the data, so that the warhorn site (and others like it) can pre-populate their dropdowns with your list of characters (class, level) when you sign up for events.

Other functionality might be a machine-friendly link to the session-reporting page - http://paizo.com/pfs/session/54321 (just do a redirect) - for a session, so that the GMs schedule generated by warhorn.net could simply contain hyperlinks to where you need to report at the end of the session.

Oh - in addition to the "about gark torgson" field, might be nice to have a field for a one-liner, a brief quote or blurb that could be included on signup schedules.


Yes! All of this would be wonderful. We'd love to build a tighter integration with the Paizo site. Character registry, schedule decoration, session reporting - all of this would be possible with API support from the Paizo side. We'd be thrilled to collaborate on adding more kickass PFS features to Warhorn!
