any help please

thanks in advance
hang on, does does the cloud variable need to start with the ☁ symbol?
i do not think so.
what could be the problem then?

I made a new script as a test and it gets stuck connecting to the project
this is the script
print("init")
from scratchclient import ScratchSession
print("logging on...")
session = ScratchSession("adamkrps425", "<placeholderpassword>")
print("connecting to project...")
connection = session.create_cloud_connection(726701801)
print("setting var...")
connection.set_cloud_variable("cloudVar", 1234)
print("done!")
and this is the console output

init
logging on…
connecting to project…
(still running as the posting of this btw its been like 5 min)

and as you see the cloud var on the project is still 0

The code you have given here perfectly works!

Are you running the code on replit? Then it won't work. Scratch blocked replit from sending login request.

To set cloud variables with replit, you have to use cookie connect. I'm not sure if scratchclient has that feature, I couldn't find it in the documentation

Depending on what you want to do, if you just want to see user/project stats then you just use scratch's api. But there isn't really a way to comment and interact with the website without using your password.
Ok, I just mainly want to see user followers and project stats and whatnot. How do I use the API?

i've never used scratchclient before now lol

To get your user / project stats, use @DatOneLefty's ScratchDB API:
https://scratchdb.lefty.one/v3/docs/#api-User-GetUserInfo

Example: (this will fetch your user stats)

import requests
stats = requests.get("https://scratchdb.lefty.one/v3/user/info/SomeoneOnThelnternet").json()

You can also get your user stats with scratchattach (doesn't require logging in) or scratchconnect:

import scratchattach as scratch3
user = scratch3.get_user("SomeoneOnTheInternet")
stats = user.stats()

I just made a script that follows and unfollows the account you choose to follow or unfollow.

from scratchclient import ScratchSession
username2 = input("Username? ")
password2 = input("Password? ")
session = ScratchSession(username2, password2)
follow_or_unfollow = input("Do you want to follow a user or unfollow a user? (\"y\" to follow, CASE SENSITIVE)")
if follow_or_unfollow == "y":
    print("Follow option selected!")
else:
    print("Unfollow option selected")
print("Enter in a user name")
user1 = input()
if follow_or_unfollow == "y":
    print(f"Following user {user1}...")
    session.get_user(user1).follow()
    print(f"User {user1} followed! Check your followers page! https://scratch.mit.edu/users/{username2}/following/")
    print("To follow or unfollow another user, run this script again!")
else:
    print(f"Unfollowing user {user1}")
    session.get_user(user1).unfollow()
    print(f"User {user1} followed! Check your followers page! https://scratch.mit.edu/users/{username2}/following/")
    print("To unfollow or follow another user, run this script again!")

So, if you wanted to follow gdpr0000001 using this script, you can!

…

You can use scratchclient for this now, I believe. ScratchSession doesn't require any parameters.

from scratchclient import ScratchSession
session = ScratchSession()
# User info
print(session.get_user("griffpatch"))
# Follower count
print(session.scraping.get_follower_count("griffpatch"))

Are you guys really sure this can be used without risking a ban?

About as safe as using any other scratch python library!

Yes. There are so many cloud projects using this and similar libraries out there, and they're all still up.

If you use social actions, like following, loving/favouriting, commenting, etc. then that is not allowed and you may be warned/banned.
Other than that, for just getting data and cloud variables, it should be safe.

Here are some of my followers!

I joined: 5 years, 9 months, 24 days ago (31/03/2018)
I have: 479 followers
In total, I have attained: 1,403 loves, 1,145 favourites, and 33,731 views.
Fun Fact: If my account continued to gain followers at a similar rate to right now, in 14,210 years I would reach the number of followers griffpatch has today! Try to imagine how many followers he would have then!
Thank you everyone!

Do you get a “scratchclient.ScratchExceptions.UnauthorizedException” error (meaning a 403, and I looked through the code), or a “scratchclient.ScratchExceptions.InvalidCredentialsException” error (meaning, well, your credentials are incorrect)?

I get this when posting the comment

and when changing a cloud variable the project just hangs, the console stays responsive but nothing happens. through testing I figured it got stuck on

connection = session.create_cloud_connection(726701801)

very unfortunately, my forum signature was eaten by an evil wizard and has now run away.

The code you have given here perfectly works!

does anyone have an idea as why it does not work for me? do I have to install something beside scrstchcliant? I run it in vs code do I need to run it directly in python? how long should it take?

Most of us would rather not pay 89 dollars USA for a product that can easily be replicated for 0 dollars USA with VSCode and a VSCode extension. Your choice, though.

Bruh PyCharm is free https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/download/ — secondly if they already have the paid version then what is wrong with using PyCharm for this? PyCharm is designed for Python

I've seen this as a trend with your posts, just take this as advise and maybe look through sources a bit more when you post
