Getting a Scratcher's message count using a 3D computer graphics software called Blender

Chiroyce

Blender is a free and open-source 3D computer graphics software toolset used for creating animated films, visual effects, art, 3D printed models, motion graphics, interactive 3D applications, virtual reality, and computer games

Yes, you read title right, I made a 3D computer graphics software get my Scratch message count. It's quite simple you know.

Step 1 - open Blender and switch to the Python Console

Step 2 - type in this code

import requests

r = requests.get("https://api.scratch.mit.edu/users/Chiroyce/message/count")  # replace 'Chiroyce' with your username

r = r.json()

print(r)

There you have the result! So the next time you're making something in Blender, and you want to check your message count, just switch to the python console and type this

Also if it says ‘module requests not found’, just type in this code and try again.

import os

os.system("pip install requests")

Nice, also why is the background tab of the screenshot a very very forbidden website?
Wait, since Scratch desktop uses Electron, can we do this there as well?

is it bad that I know the name even if I never used it?

Anyways, isn't that pretty much just “running python code in an app that allows python code to be ran”ß

Well, it has a built in python console. GIMP can do the same

why
does GIMP
have a python console??????

so this is why I don't know how to draw a circle in gimp. it's not that because I'm bad at using apps, it's that GIMP is overly complex

“Die Python-Fu-Konsole ist ein Dialogfenster, in dem eine „Python-Shell“ läuft (ein Pythoninterpreter in interaktivem Modus). Die Konsole ist so voreingestellt, dass Sie die internen Routinen der GIMP-Bibliothek libgimp verwenden können.” - German GIMP Docs
“The Python-Fu-Console is a dialog window, with that you can run a ”Python shell“ (a Python interpreter that is interactive.) The console is preset so you can use the intern routines of the GIMP library libgimp.” - German GIMP Docs but I translated it

In Python 2 the function is urllib2.urlopen, but it didn't work when I tried to use it (there was a SSL certificate error).
