An API to the character sheets would be nice, for those already invested elsewhere (say a VTT could use the API to sync character sheets between what the VTT has and on DDB, as an example).
An API for the content/compendium likely isn't going to happen, though. Would make it far too easy to pilfer paid content out of the service and host it elsewhere, and WotC won't be too keen on letting their licensees enable piracy like that, I think. I could be wrong, though.

The team has mentioned, in the past, that an API is on their minds, but (to my knowledge) they have made no official commitment to release one, nor an estimate of when one might be released.
I really hope they release one soon. There are a lot of little requests by the community, like combat tracker and DM screen, that would be easily coded up by the community with a public API.

Great job! Any chance you might provide a restful API?
