Export and Import sheet data api?

Is there like an API that exports the data of a sheet to something that can be copied and pasted into a text file? Like maybe it exports it to a note. And then can the API import the text from a note back into a character sheet? Because I'd like to backup my character vault in case Roll20 has a problem like Mythweavers had.

It could be done, but I don't know of any script that does this.

The Aaron has a script (fancy that) that can export a character to the GM notes of it's token and then import that information back again if needed... I'm not 100% sure it is available on general release yet though... who knows, maybe this post will prompt him to turn up shortly and deliver it ;)

(side note, I use it to 'back-up' my player's characters after each level up to track the changes... I have trust issues...)

Thats good, TheAaron always seems to have whats needed.

He is the man...Or the scripter...

It I just had the time to do this as much as I wanted, I really WOULD have all that's needed. =D

While the R20 sheet doesn't have an export function, on the Pokémon Tabletop United Sheet, there's an Sheetworker import function for use with an addon to a commonly used Google Sheets Character Sheet. I'd rather not tread on other people's toes and just try adding that kind of functionality willy-nilly, but the import functionality is definitely possible for everyone, and I'm sure an API script could JSON-ify everything again.

Sheet workers are a great place to solve that particular problem.
