[Question] Logging into R20 and rolling via external program

I don't know if this is the right section, excuse and delete if not. I'm planning to create for myself a little application to serve as my character sheet, since I absolutely despise the one coming with R20. I want it to have the functionality to /roll from the program, directly into the campaign. Is that possible via an R20 API? Or do I have to fall back to programmatically focusing the browser window and copy pasting the roll macro into the chat?

Roll20 does seem to support concurrent logins, so it's possible. I've never looked into what kind of authentication and such they use, so I don't know how much browser functionality your app will need, but your idea of pointing your app at your browser window and generating keystroke events is probably going to be easier.

What is it about the character sheets that you despise? There may be a simpler solution. There is currently no external API interface.

I have wondered what the Roll20 stance is on external programs interacting with the browser window (bookmarklets, etc.) Can I take this post as carte blanche to do that sort of thing?

At least the pathfinder sheet is way too full of stull and not really manageable at a glance, also too many bugs in comparison to the myth weavers sheet. I'm just gonna write an app that will allow GM's to manage Character Sheets, or NPC's by importing them directly from pf20srd with the ability to roll directly from the program. Maybe gonna include some random generation functions to generate encounters, npcs, towns or maps. Not sure. PS. Drunk now, ignore if offensive, im sorry.
