The API Script Index is a listing of community-contributed API scripts that are available for use on Roll20.

If you're interested in contributing to the Roll20 API Community Scripts please visit the Roll20 API Scripts Repository and follow the instructions in the README.

Favorite API Lists of some users:

  • Ammo -- Provides inventory management for ammunition stored in an attribute of a character. Can be used with any char sheet

  • Dialog(Forum) -- a script that makes chat a bit more fun and easier to parse, especially for games that don't use voice. It also makes it much easier to get the GM's attention in a busy game. by Keith

Combat

Universal combat scripts assist in making combat flow more easily. This can mean anything from automatically handling initiative(t Turn Tracker), automating exchanges between combatants, or doing more comprehensive management. Scripts made for specific Game systems or Roll20 sheets are listed on D&D 5E & below

Various APIs related to the Map that isn't related to Dynamic Lighting, nor focused on Tokens.

  • Areas of Effect(Forum) -- let's players spawn AoE effects on the map(based on what GM made available.
  • DryErase(Forum) – An API that can stop players from drawing on the map.
  • Hexploration(Forum) -- Script allows the GM to conceal areas of a hex grid with individual opaque hexes. Then characters can explore the hexes to reveal them. Readme

Dynamic Lighting

Dynamic Lighting is a Plus/Pro feature that changes what parts of the map are visible to the players as they move their tokens around. The light-blocking walls are achieved by paths on the walls layer, and tokens are used as point light sources. Scripts which modify either the light emitted by tokens or the walls which block the light belong in this category.

Not all APIs, or all their features work on both Updated DL and Legacy DL, you have to check them closer to know that.

  • DoorKnocker(Forum) -- Script helps quickly open and close doors by controlling the dynamic lighting lines. ** v1.211 Introduces option to create "windows", sections that stop movement but not sight. sourcecode | Tutorial
  • UDLWindows(Forum) -- API for creating DL lines that blocks movement, but doesn't block vision.

  • ShareVision -- Allows normal vision and darkvision to be shared.
  • ToggleDaylight(Forum) -- turn daylight mode on, off, or toggle it for LDL or UDL on the current page.


APIs that only works with Legacy

  • One-Way Dynamic Lighting(Forum) -- Allows you to set up dynamic lighting walls that allow you to see through one side, but not the other.

Tokens

APIs that focus on interacting with tokens, or some aspect of them.

  • Reporter(Forum) -- A script to poll the game and return info on Token/Character pairs, along with customized action tools.
  • SelectManager - can patch and extend token selection between APIs
  • WeaponArcs(Forum) -- provides a means to add weapon arcs to tokens for visualization of range and targetable tokens

Movement, Rotation, and Size

Scripts which are triggered by or change the location of tokens should generally be placed in this category.

  • Bump(Forum) - provides a way to invisibly manipulate tokens on the GM Layer from the Objects Layer, and vice versa.
  • TokenLock -- Allows GMs to selectively lock the movement of Player Tokens.
  • Carry Tokens(Forum) -- Allows tokens to "carry" and move other tokens, like dragging other characters or moving items.

  • Spawn Default Token(Forum) -- general idea is to automatically spawn the default token for a given "character" with various options for token qty, location/arrangement, and certain token properties such as size, side(for multi-sided tokens), light emission etc.

Conditions, Status, Health

Tokens are used to represent player characters as well as non-player characters. Naturally, both occasionally get punched around a bit. Scripts in this category deal with the changing conditions of tokens, often but not necessarily as a result of combat.

Many APIs( beyond the ones listed here) are made with Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition in mind, or have specific commands tailored to work with the popular D&D 5E by Roll20-character sheet. In the one-click menu, most APIs made for 5E should have a name starting with D&D 5E. 5E is the system that have most system-specific APIs by a large margin. Several generic APIs have configuration settings tailored for the 5E sheets, such as GroupInitiative and GroupCheck.

Library/Meta Scripts

Library scripts are generally not intended to be used alone or directly by the user. These scripts will not do anything for your campaign directly, but rather they create functions to be used by other APIs.

APIs installed from the one-click menu should automatically install any Library scripts that are needed for them to work, or warn about needing additional APIs installed.

APIs elsewhere

Some known APIs aren't available in the One-Click Install menu in Roll20, but might be hosted elsewhere and manually installed. This is an attempt to list prominent ones.

Not Available in One-Click Menu

This is a list of API that are still hosted in Roll20's API script repository, but for one reason or other isn't available in the One-Click install.

  • Battle Royale(Forum) -- Instantly create a GM-less PvP experience! Even handles doors, invisibility etc.
  • TurnMarker -- Creates a visual highlight on Token whose turn it is currently. Can also make chat notifications when turn changes.

Map & Token

Other

Special Thanks

Roll20 wants to give special thanks to Brian Shields and Aaron C. M. for their contributions to the community and this API Script Index.(2014)

In early 2021, Andreas J. did a major revision of the page, reorganizing with better categories, add several newer and popular APIs to the list, and added wiki/forum thread links to most listed APIs, so more info was easily accessible.

The category cleanup on the API index is something I intend to bring to the API 1-click Install, as the One-Click Menu is currently pretty hard to browser, as something like half of the APIs are categorized under "Utility", and there would be a benefit for all D&D5E-specific API to be in a separate category from the other game-specific APIs.
