1) you have to append the character ID number for the character in question to the end of the url (see post #144 above, that puts {character ID} at the end of the link)
2) the character must be public and not private
If both of those conditions are met, then the link produces essentially a "data dump" of character data.
Digging around in the API reveals many services, monster service, encounter service etc! Loads of fun :D
I noticed that there seems to be access control for monsters (makes sense!). With the correct auth headers you can access them, I assume this is related to ones account.
My idea was to expand my paper mini creator at https://forge.dice.quest to pass a ddb encounter and automatically generate minis for it. At the moment, it would work just fine for monsters in the SRD that where full public access is available. Non-accessible monsters don't have a proper images, which makes sense.
For now, I will implement this feature for the SRD stuff. I can also check the CRSF situation, maybe they allow the users browser to do the download? who knows.
I really would love API keys, because I doubt anyone would sign in on my service with their ddb account just to create minis.

So awesome that you did this! Paypaling you right now.

Well, I did implement it now, it's available on https://forge.dice.quest :
Once the API is official, with API keys and all I hope to be able to get non-srd content as well.
