scratchclient - A scratch API wrapper for python

AdamKRPS425

hi could, i have help for something, I made a python script to change a cloud variable but for some reason it never changes and gets stuck on the line

connection.set_cloud_variable("preset name", preset value)

CoolCrafter1231

So i tryed runing this script…

from scratchclient import ScratchSession, ScratchExceptions
import getpass
import json
import os
loginloop = True
while loginloop:
  try:
    os.system("cls")
    print("VarMesh V1")
    username = input("Username: ")
    password = getpass.getpass("Password: ")
    session = ScratchSession(username, password)
    loginloop = False
  except ScratchExceptions.InvalidCredentialsException:
    os.system("cls")
    print("Username or passowrd is invalid")
    input()
    loginloop = True
session.get_user("Coolcrafter1231").post_comment("Test")

But it keeps giving me this error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\user\OneDrive\Desktop\vartest.py", line 21, in <module>
    session.get_user("Coolcrafter1231").post_comment("Test")
  File "C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.10_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python310\site-packages\scratchclient\User.py", line 103, in post_comment
    raise UnauthorizedException("You are not allowed to do that")
scratchclient.ScratchExceptions.UnauthorizedException: You are not allowed to do that

I'm not sure on what do do or how to fix it

Hi I get this error

When running

 
from scratchclient import ScratchSession
session = ScratchSession(Username, Password)

Username and Password are both variables

Is your username and password correct? I cant think of any reason why that would throw an error besides that.

Was the cloud variable name exactly? Because I don't think it detects case-sensitive things.

Is there a decode or encode command? Or do i need to use other libraries like scratchattach or code it myself?

Do you mean command prompt? That's what I usually use for pip. Also I remember having a problem about not having C# installed from Visual studio, or something like that.

Hi! Probably it was discussed already, but it's a mess going through the entire thread.
When I get value of a cloud variable in a project using “connection.get_cloud_variable(name)” it works fine a few times, but it then raises the CloudVariableException: Variable is not in this project. (The variable is actually there lol). Are there fixes or workarounds?

A few days ago I noticed there was no easy way to mess with scratch's API in Python so I created a python module to do this. https://pypi.org/project/scratchclient/

You can install it using
pip install scratchclient
Thanks to this npm package for the reference code and ilcheese2 for their modified version of my cloud code.

You can report issues on the (email removed by moderator - please don't share contact information) this topic, or my scratch profile.

Usage:
Basic usage:
from scratchclient import ScratchSession
session = ScratchSession("ceebee", "--uwu--")
# post comments
session.get_user("Paddle2See").post_comment("OwO")
# lots of other stuff
print(session.get_project(450216269).get_comments()[0].content)
print(session.get_studio(29251822).description)
Cloud connection:
from scratchclient import ScratchSession
session = ScratchSession("griffpatch", "SecurePassword7")
connection = session.create_cloud_connection(450216269)
connection.set_cloud_variable("variable name", 5000)
@connection.on("set")
def on_set(variable):
    print(variable.name, variable.value)
print(connection.get_cloud_variable("other variable"))
I havent made documentation yet because I'm lazy so feel free to ask questions in this topic.

Can this be added for other languages? On second thought maybe not as people get more access to the API then if you use python. You decide? I'm too lazy to. —_w_—

if <[(me)] = [good]> then

I noticed that with some scratch projects, attempting to establish a cloud connection yields an infinite waiting cycle. Any idea why this may be?

can anyone tell me the thing that is wrong here?

import requests

from scratchclient import ScratchSession

def get_project_views(project_id):
url = f"https://api.scratch.mit.edu/projects/{project_id}“
response = requests.get(url)
if response.status_code == 200:
data = response.json()
views = data.get(”stats“, {}).get(”views“, ”Not available“)
return views
else:
print(f”Failed to fetch data. Status code: {response.status_code}“)
return None

def update_cloud_variable(scratch, variable_name, value):
try:
scratch.set_cloud_variable(variable_name, value)
print(f”Successfully updated {variable_name} to {value}“)
except Exception as e:
print(f”Failed to update {variable_name}. Error: {e}“)

scratch = ScratchSession()

project_id = 970959964

while True:
views = get_project_views(project_id)
if views is not None:
update_cloud_variable(scratch, ”views“, views)
time.sleep(60) # Wait for 60 seconds before sending the next update
else:
print(”Failed to retrieve views.")
break
