I know... That would be why I escaped it thusly.

You might want to be careful before going too far down the line of figuring out the APIs. As soon as they include access protection, or if they may be considered reverse engineering, that might subject you to the DMCA. You might also have to deal with issues of unauthorized access if those aren't a part of a public API.

I'd have to do some research figure out what is allowed or not. This is probably a good opportunity to invest in understanding the DMCA, as well as finding out the WotC policy for how one is allowed to access their web site.

Thx!

For a variety of reasons, I'm both not worried about any legal issues and also not worried about them taking umbrage with this use. In fact, I have good reason to believe that this is exactly what they're intending.

Of course, if they do have a problem they can email me and I'll take down anything at their request. But I seriously doubt that's going to happen.
