Is there a way to communicate with the scratch API, within a scratch project?
Hi. I would like to display how many messages I have in a project, and I would need this:
https://api.scratch.mit.edu/users/Amolorty/messages/count
to display on a project. anyway to do that?
TIA, Amolorty

I don't think it's possible, atleast not with regular scratch blocks.

https://pypi.org/project/scratchcloud/ is a Python package that will let you communicate with a Scratch project.
So here's how it would work:
- Your server fetches your message count, and saves them
Your server connects to Scratch via scratchcloud
Your server sends the messages via cloud variables
Your Scratch project decodes what it receives.
Let me know if you have any questions by messaging me on my profile.
