Scratch Mail-Email?

Just wondering if it is possible to create an API that checks my Scratch mail, then sends me an email with the number of messages waiting for me. Any ideas?

There isn't a nice way to do that. You can log in with your script and then poll /messages/ajax/get-message-count/, and that's about it.

Yeah, no rss. That's one thing I liked about the 1.x website. If anyone figures it out, that'd be awesome!

Perhaps we could use Python? You know, with GET? Does that spark any ideas?

Or we could parse the HTML of the message page. But that must be a nightmare to do :S

EDIT: okay, where did the confused emoticon go?

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

Didn't see that get in your comment. But I am researching the possible solutions.

I don't know what you're talking about. Is there an email for scratch if we need help like help@scratch.mit.edu?

He means to tell him he has a message.

What I am talking about is making a Python script that returns the number of messages I have waiting for me.
