So I wanted an image to use in the forums that auto updates using cloud data. Does anyone know if this is possible?

Its possible. Open an image using an external script(node js ,python). Convert the image into numbers.Send those number over the cloud (this works in node js). Use a scratch project to render the data from the cloud using pen.

I think you could maybe use project thumbnails and have a script to update themIts possible. Open an image using an external script(node js ,python). Convert the image into numbers.Send those number over the cloud (this works in node js). Use a scratch project to render the data from the cloud using pen.thanks, i forgot to add that i wanted the live image to use in the scratch forums
I would edit the OP and topic name to say something like live images in forums

As ninjaMAR said, you need to use a project thumbnail. The API for updating them is https://scratch.mit.edu/internalapi/project/thumbnail/<project ID>/set/

ok. but will it change everytime something in the project changes? I was thinking about creating something like a cloud survey about what features I should add in a game

So I wanted an image to use in the forums that auto updates using cloud data. Does anyone know if this is possible?You used to be able to do this with MJPEG, but since the Wikimedia redirect hole was closed there's not a way to have live updates anymore.

ok, but i have NO idea how to get a project thumbnail to update on its own using data from the cloud
It's probably possible cause of S3Bridge but I'm not sure

As ninjaMAR said, you need to use a project thumbnail. The API for updating them is https://scratch.mit.edu/internalapi/project/thumbnail/<project ID>/set/Can it do it automatically when a set condition is met? Like when a cloud variable for a project = 3 it changes the thumbnail to a different image.
FYI, I might be able to write the code on my own but I don't really know javascript yet.

Ok, so it seems like I need the cloud variables api and the cdn2 thumbnail api. Is that right?
I do not have the cloud var api, so if i need that, can someone provide it?
One last thing. Can it update the thumbnails using images in assets.scratch.mit.edu?
