[API - Tags] API Access to Image Tags.

API access to image tags...AND all other tags! Currently API scripts that leverage images for things like random map generation have to have the image URLs hard coded in the script or loaded into a Rollable table. This is really making the creation and sharing of these sort of API scripts (scripts that really leverage all Roll20 has to offer) challenging (its slowing API innovation.) Having this feature would also be of value to market content creators, it would enable them to create packs that work with API scripts they have created or already currently exist.

Hear Hear!

Personally I'd expand this to tags in general, not just image tags

Aaron I. said: Personally I'd expand this to tags in general, not just image tags Good point!

+1 Sympathy vote here. Agree that it shouldn't just be limited to image tags, but what the heck.

Fixed the lead post to include all tags.

Stephen S. said: Fixed the lead post to include all tags. Peer pressure... everyone is doing it.

You are why we can't have nice things.

+1 because Stephen says he needs this to work his black magic, and I want to be on his good side when his vile plan succeeds.

+1, I'm all about making things easier to be lazy, I mean I bought the tile pack and still haven't takin the time to swap out the watermarked pieces.

Greg B. said: I'm all about making things easier to be lazy, I mean I bought the tile pack and still haven't takin the time to swap out the watermarked pieces. Its a brutal process. You have my empathy and apology. However its less brutal than drawing Dynamic Lighting paths every time you place a tile down. And with the "Wall Restriction", and "objc.remove()" and API hyperlink commands.... things are getting amazing. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpY9jVlguoM" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpY9jVlguoM</a> Drop in... move around... easy easy easy. But we still have to relate the image URL to the data. :/ But... With API access to tags? Content creators can provide the pathing data with the asset or a standard "key." Once we get that... we get Vince to to nag Aaron to write the epic dungeon script and we get Alan making tile packs. And I then wont have to do anything.... which has always been my ambition in life.

+1, would love to see this happen.

Something like this, even just doors, would remove so many of the user-unfriendly headaches that come with member level dynamic lighting.

Make it so number 1

Consider it for dropping in monsters as well. API could be.... !mob orc,bloodsword 3 It would randomly drop in three of any tokens with "orc" and "bloodsword" as tags. . .

This! +1 more.

+1! I replaced a bunch of url's, and don't want to do it again!

Then I have to do it for the watermarked tokens... to make sure they all work... and to share them. Then I try to help anyone that asks for help... more replacing of URLs. Rumor is Riley is coming to save us... but keep voting. (And when he does, I will have to go update the URLs for all my script again! But it should be for the last time! And now one else should have to to do it.)

I'm Voting Yes so hard right now.

Hmmm wants to free up a vote for some nefarious purpose.

Stephen S. said: Kind words from my Roll20 forum nemesis?... This has to be some sort trick. What is he up to? Hmmm wants to free up a vote for some nefarious purpose. I think I'll add my suggestion to remove "object.remove()" from the API. It's causing way too many issues...

I think I'll add my suggestion to remove "object.remove()" from the API. It's causing way too many issues... "Alright, alright I apologize. I'm really, really sorry. I apologize unreservedly. I offer a complete and utter retraction. The imputation was totally without basic in fact and was in no way fair comment and was motivated purely by malice and I deeply regret any distress that my comments may have caused you or your family and I hereby undertake not to repeat any such slander at any time in the future."

Playing around with path finding with API. This would be great especially if we could have better API access to images With an A* search algorithm we could do a lot. 1) In the absence of waypoints this could be used to determine a player's path (great for auto traps.) 2) AI patrols… let the mobs wander! 3) Dungeon generations. Terrain information.

I vote yes

Not sure how I missed this suggestion. &nbsp;It's so obvious... Anyway, +1 to it!

As a new GM who didn't know what I was getting into, +1!

So hard yes... If I could vote twice... or at all, I totally would! :)

Julix said: So hard yes... If I could vote twice... or at all, I totally would! :) Hoping the post-jukebox update includes this one... the post-jukebox will be an API update.

This would be wondeful +1

As a newer user I would like to +1 this as I am having a hard time wrapping my head around it.

nice

+1 from me too

Make it so please.

+1 yes

+1 make it so

+1 Not being able to use the API to grab images that I've purchased from the marketplace is a bitter pill to swallow. I paid good money for the right to use those assets in my campaign, and by any reasonable interpretation this should mean that I have full access to use them in my games. Those assets should be available to me with all of the same functionality as the artwork that I have created myself and uploaded into my image library!

+1!

The most likely outcome currently is that we would figure out a way to enable this for Marketplace purchases only &nbsp;but not the uploaded image library, due to the various means of potential abuse.
