As a fun little project, I was thinking of creating a dice roll summary for my campaign - e.g. who's the luckiest, who dealt most damage, most nat 1's and 20's etc.
Now that we have game logs for campaigns, the data obviously exist, and I can see it is being served by the API - but not sure if is is possible to get a straight json from the api for a campaign (apologies if i have missed something). Alternatively, is there a way of exporting the game log - even to plain text would be fine, although json would probably work best.
Interested to know if this is something that's in the plans, or just not something that will be available.
Would love to see a more recent comment on this from Devs. They have commented from time to time but it doesn't seem to be something they're too concerned with :(
I check in every so often, curious... anything changed? or just in a possible waiting pattern? Still expect this not to happen.. :(
I have certainly not heard anything since posting the original question - so I am assuming that this is not something we will have access to. That's fair enough I guess - they might not want their API flooded with various experimental developments - but it would be great if someone responded to confirm this.
Not a dev, but I can tell you that the devs have been clear that a public API will not be coming any time soon. It's on their list eventually, but only once they have a lot of other things done and can be pretty confident they aren't going to have to rewrite systems/features. (They've already had to do a massive overhaul/rewrite of the character sheet, and may have to dos something similar with other systems)

THanks - I can easily see how providing such a service would b pretty low on the list - especially if things are still undergoing changes. It was mainly an idea for DM's to be able to track some fun stats for their players/campaigns - hardly something critical :-)
Definitely a fun idea! Unfortunately there are so many fun/good ideas in addition to needed improvements to match the entirety of the rules that they can't all be done at once.
Hi all
I hope this is the right area to ask:

it would be really nice if we export the game logs....would make it easier in the after action write ups

well last update here was over two years ago, any updates elsewhere?
No, they still haven't fixed everything else that was higher on the list than API acces/gamelog exports so don't think they have looked at it
