Is there a way to use API scripts without having GM status?

Hello everybody, I was thinking about investing into a Mentor account. The thing is I'm not really into DMing and most of the time I play as a player. As I know a bit about programming, and I quickly figured out that macros are very limited, I was wondering what would be the interest in buying a Mentor account for someone who isn't a GM. Isn't it possible to get a limited use out of the API scripts by using them as an extension to macros? Thanks in advance

Not at this time no, i cant find the quote but Riley did mention at one point that one of the things he was thinking about in the long term was a user end API, but as the main API isn't out of beta and the REST API hasn't been started I wouldn't count on anything soon.

I don't GM all the time. I am a mentor and my GM manages a campaign created under my account all the time. I just give him GM access and I log in as a player. I build any API scripts he wants/needs. I would recommend getting mentor access.
