RolePlayGateway Graphing Experiments

These are some basic tests for graphing data from RolePlayGateway.com

Start

$ npm install
$ npm start

Endpoints

All data for this project is derived from public JSON endpoints. The API is completely ephemeral during this period. Pay attention to file modification times. Old files are more likely to be broken.

[
  {
    "id": "1",
    "name": "Mjötviðr; The Realms",
    "roleplay_id": "1",
    "owner": "4",
    "url": "the-realms"
  }
]

    "place_id": "49222",
    "destination_id": "16861",

    "mode": "normal"
  }
