Manipulate Cloud Data externally.

BowWhalley

So I have seen a few cool projects that are controlled through cloud variables, which are controlled from an private computer/server.

I was wondering how I can get started into this and what may be required.

Essentially, you'd need to do something like this in code:

Login with the desired username + password
Get the CSRF token
Send a request to get/set cloud data

Although, unlike other people, I don't know what the API endpoints are.

I do, in fact, have my own site; it's here.
I'm also working on a thing called Fetch. Look at it here!

ok, thanks

. Now, how can I use the api? Should I use a JavaScript Script?

Oh wow, I forgot that was a thing.

Come to think of it, wasn't there a python version at one point? Or is that just me…

You need to install node.js and install the package with npm. Then you can write a JavaScript program to use the package and run it using node.

Ok thankyou. I am running a mac, do you recommend any programs to write the code with?

Try Sublime Text.

It costs 70 dollars but you can download and use it for as long as you want for free, so long as you can deal with a popup that appears every 500 saves or whatever.

Ok thankyou, I do not know how to run the script though. Also I am not sure how to save it with java script encoding as it is not listed by default.

Just save it as main.js, and go to a command line and type

node main.js

I'm making one right now. Setting vars works right now but the CSRF token is giving me a headache

Awesome! I hope it works out.

All is going well for me now but with the functions, it wants a callback I think it is called.

var Scratch = require('scratch-api');
console.log(Scratch.getProject(85635578))

returns this in console/terminal

undefined

I've not used the API before but perhaps (this is a guess) Scratch.getProject takes a function as a callback?

I.e:

Scratch.getProject(..., function(data) {
  console.log("Data loaded!");
  console.log(data);
});

Replies, null and undefined.

var Scratch = require("scratch-api");
Scratch.getProject(85635578,function(data){
 console.log("this is a test");
 console.log(data);
});
