API to present visual cue that API is running

Is anyone using an API that presents some kind of cue for players (and the GM) that the API is properly running in game? While I realize you can often use help commands if you're the GM, I am thinking more about situations with GMs who are inexperienced with API or trying it out for the first time. Or if you're a player in somebody else's game and don't have access to the commands. I am wondering what the best way to implement that might be. (e.g. Maybe a "YES the API is WORKING!" chat alert when players log-in? A green-light token somewhere on screen? A big kaboom image on screen?) Is anyone doing this kind of thing in their games?

I have a script called API Heartbeat that does this:&nbsp; <a href="https://github.com/shdwjk/Roll20API/blob/master/AP" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/shdwjk/Roll20API/blob/master/AP</a>...

Is there anything (ANYTHING) you do not have a script for in your treasure chest?

AI NPC control? Maybe? Actually wouldn't really surprise me if he did have something ;)

It never ceases to amaze what you have already created. I'm definitely integrating this ASAP!

Ha! &nbsp;No worries. I can't wait to get back to it post move. :)

Thanks everyone. I'd forgotten about HeartBeat. It's a little tricky finding simple ways to help another GM get their own API up and running, since you don't have access to the API panel to see what's happening.
