I finally got around to writing/documenting the Python script I use to grab external API data (in this case, from a Board Game Geek API) and layering the results into ANSI file. It's not really a mod, just commented code -- but if anyone cares to check it out:

Could be adapted to whatever API data you need to grab. Not rocket science,
and I learned a lot from existing/similar news and weather scripts that have been floating around for a while.

If you want to see it in action, it's the main menu at cardandclaw.com:8888

You're welcome, and thanks for checking it out :)

Next, I'd like to be able to grab fields from Mystic's user data via MPY and feed it into the API script... The journey continues :)
