Hi

A new scratcher here. Is it possible to make HTTP GET requests? If so, how?

Thanks in advance.

You can't make HTTP GET requests directly from Scratch—it's partly a safety thing and partly a don't-make-it-too-hard-for-newbies thing (you can make HTTP GET requests from Snap!, though).

Depending on your goal, you should be able to manage with cloud variables or with a JavaScript extension.

You can use the Scratch Boost extension here.

Huuuuuge bump
Or, have a server running somewhere, that reads a cloud var and builds a request based on it.

It's slanted because we aren't using it like a normal exclamation point (!), which generally ends a sentence.

In that case would it be “I like Snap!” because “Snap!” is at the end of the sentence? Because "I like Snap!." doesn't look right.. but maybe..

The slanted exclamation mark is because that's its name - Snap!.
