Basically, I'd like to add stuff to a char sheet that uses the API, but not have to also develop a separate one for those without Pro. So is there a way to check a session variable to see if the User (or Game Instance) is a pro user, then open up the scripts that user can access.

Not that I've found, but you could provide a toggle/check-box so the person can manually indicate whether they have the API enabled. The Forbidden Lands character sheet supports both API-enabled and non-API-enabled accounts. That may be a place to start to see how they did it.

Excellent - thanks.  What happens if you try to call a script from a character sheet that is not enabled?  Do I need to error catch this?

Nothing will happen. It wont cause an error, it'll just be silently ignored. So its a good idea to have a toggle to switch between API and non-API sheets, otherwise you'll have buttons that cause player confusion when they dont do anything.
