Official API (Destiny)

Right, destinytracker is using Bungie's API to get info. We know what it's capable of there, I'm wondering if there is more. I have the day off Monday for President's day. I think I will get an API key and see what I can do, no promises to anyone.

I was actually playing with the API a little bit earlier today. For those who don't know, but are interested in dabbling in the API, Bungie maintains an official API group. They've published the first official interface (https://www.bungie.net/en/Clan/Post/39966/85087279/0/0) and it's definitely worth a look.

Documentation is pretty sparse, but the endpoint descriptions are invaluable:
https://www.bungie.net/platform/user/help/
https://www.bungie.net/platform/destiny/help/

Now that they've solidified an API, I'm thinking we'll integrate some API-linked behavior into the forum.

*Edit: Just be careful with the Grimoire Card one… that thing just locked-up a couple of my code editors while trying to "prettify" the JSON so that I could read it. The response is 844KB of raw text. :D
