tl;dr: I have text that is outside of Roll20. I want to make handouts out of that text. What's the easiest/simplest way to get it into Roll20? I began creating a Dungeon World campaign, and quickly found myself importing various rules into handouts for my players. I figured that I might as well import the entirety of the rules in order to really simplify the learning curve for my players, as Roll20's handout-to-handout linking and 'Show to Players' features are great. I imagine my process will go something like this: Parse Dungeon World XML Use context to add handout-to-handout formatting Use context to add structural formatting Read formatted text/XML into the API Create formatted handouts in structured directories However, I just began playing around with the API, and it seems that I might have trouble getting outside resources in: While Roll20 scripts are Javascript, there are some restrictions you should be aware of if you're used to programing Javascript for websites. Roll20 scripts are executed in a separate sandbox from the Roll20 site. This provides an additional layer of separation and security for our system and your players. This sandbox means that: You cannot make HTTP Requests (AJAX). You cannot load external scripts or libraries (e.g. jQuery). The environment is Javascript, but it is not an environment in a browser, so there is no DOM, page elements, CSS, document , window , etc. Is there a way around this? Is there an alternative way to upload text to Roll20? Is there any sort of REST API?
