    The D&D 5e SRD API is a web API that vends all the legally distributable D&D data as JSON. The database repository is also open source, so you can just grab the JSON that the API uses without having to make requests to the API.
  • not sure how to navigate this API or to reduce amount of calls

    I'm creating an app for my friend group to generate loot tables and shops. I'm currently using the dnd5eapi.co api, and I need more data than seems to be available without many calls example

    My experiences have been similar. I do still need to look up spells and item prices and such from time to time, so I did integrate those from 5e since the data is readily available[0] under a free(-ish) license. I figure if you need to look up rules, you're probably better off pulling out a book and using the index.

    I don't expect my character generators to surpass the many resources that are out there already. The one way in which they might be superior is that they'll offer suggestions that make more sense given the current setting, as well as being readily available. I do want the app to help with stage management, since I don't have the attention to spare for picking out music or managing lighting as I'm trying to tell a story.

    Definitely agree about Roll20 being too heavy. I just want to drag tokens around on a map. Unfortunately, that's also a very different project from the one I'm building. I haven't used it at the table, but Schmeppy[1] might be closer to what you're looking for. I look forward to trying out the Dynamic Dungeons Editor once I'm back to playing in-person, too.[2]

  • My friend and I made a minimalist combat builder/tracker for 5th edition
    1 project | /r/DnD | 24 Mar 2021
    Hi everyone! A friend and I developed a combat tracker using the API from https://dnd5eapi.co and I thought I'd share it here in case anyone is interested. It's still a bit of a work in progress, but all values for monsters added in the "Encounter" table can be manually edited for homebrew monsters or player characters including name, rolled initiative, HP, and AC. The stats button for each row in the table can be clicked to generate a statblock card for easy reference. We're currently hosted at https://warforged5e.com/

    or the mongo db that it runs on: https://github.com/bagelbits/5e-database it looks like the src data is available in just plain json files, could be handy: https://github.com/bagelbits/5e-database/tree/main/src
