Is there any way to pull a spreadsheet from DnDBeyond of Monsters with each category/filter in its own column? I need/want stats, just a sort function for monsters on a spreadsheet.
Full transparency, I'd like to make some custom random encounter tables by environment type, but pulling this data from DnDBeyond is very labor-intensive. Thanks, everyone!

However open5e does. (https://open5e.com/monsters) It's limited to the SRD and I'm not sure it includes environment type in there, but if you're needing to access an api or things like that it's an option to look at.
if its in the srd you'll get the stat block if it isn't in teh srd you won;t but each monster will have the relevant book and page number where the stat block can be found. Their list can be searched with a variety of tags to widen or narrow the search as well.

DDB doesn't have any public api I know of.

This is a signature. It was a simple signature. But it has been upgraded.
