Is it allowed to Hire ($) someone to create an IMPORT function for Roll20?

As a 3rd party publisher,I would like to support Roll20. I wish to know if I am permitted to seek &amp; hire a Roll20 character sheet expert to help me create import/export functions so that Characters created with my tools can be loaded up into Roll20? Should I try to contact such people directly? (whomever they are...?) Is there a special forum section for such 'paid' requests? Thank you for your time!

I know there is a script for importing from DnDBeyond. To my knowledge, Roll20 has never made a fuss over it, though as an unofficial solution to bridge between two always-changing code bases, it is apparently difficult to maintain. It sounds like you want to be able to upload into the D&amp;D 5th Edition by Roll20 sheet? If so, you would need a coder. Many sheet builders have general API skills as well. Note that this solution would only be available to Pro subscribers, though. Any other sort of solution (like a browser extension), might "invalidate the warranty". For the legality, your best bet is to write directly to <a href="mailto:team@roll20.net" rel="nofollow">team@roll20.net</a>.

My products (for 3.5, 5 e , PF1 and PF2) are stable and wouldn't require changing code base - idk on the Roll20 side though. And yes, a "coder" is probably what I would need to hire. You seem to imply that only people with a "Pro" subscription to Roll20 would be able to use such an import function, with non-Pro users unable to access it. Is this correct? Such a limitation would (obviously) reduce the market for such import function... :( Thank you for your time!! The Only Sheet keithcurtis said: I know there is a script for importing from DnDBeyond.

If you're planning to use one of the official sheets, yes, only Pro users will be able to use an Import script. If you're planning on building your own sheets it could be built into the sheet. But that could be a massive increase in expense and time, even more so if you are supporting multiple game systems.
