(also cloud logs are up!!!! )

What are you using to code

Also you don't need to use the cloud emoji to set a var
I used VS Code for coding and cmd for downloading

Hey I also use vs code for all of my coding using scratch attach and I used the terminal inside vs code to install scratchattach. I did not use the cmd to install scratch attach. Hope this helps!

Hello, im austin and im wondering, do you use the scratches api, or did you make your own?

Scratchattach utilizes the API provided by Scratch.

Ok, how did they get the Auth token?

Is it required to use the terminal inside vs code to install scratch attach for it to work?

I'm pretty sure scratchattach POSTs user credentials to scratch.mit.edu/login and gets the session ID cookie from the response, which is basically the token used to do user-specific actions

It doesn't matter what terminal you use, but the terminal in VSCode is recommended since it opens alongside code

Just like every useful tool, scratchattach can be abused. However, deleting the library would harm Scratch's Python dev community while it wouldn't stop hackers at all: There are plenty of other libraries that support setting cloud variables (many of these existed before scratchattach). Hackers could just use one of these libraries instead.

I don't get it what is so bad about scratch attach?
can someone tell me?

People are using it for various “exploits” by setting cloud variables to values so they can show up on the leaderboard. Deleting the module is pointless – what really should be done on Scratch's part is securing their cloud variable interfaces

So you must have downloaded the file onto your pc when you ran the command in the cmd. To use scratchattach in vs code download scratchattach using the terminal in vs code.

I tried, but it said that requirements are already satisfied and refused to download

Don't you need to own the project to change them?

No, you can change the variables of any project as long as you aren’t banned from the Scratch API and have the Scratcher rank of course. It’s actually very very helpful to me whenever I need to change some variables on my project with an alt account instead.

Hello! Im using scratchattach on my macbook, and installed it via homebrew. I have this code: import importlib
import scratchattach

importlib.reload(scratchattach)

import scratchattach as scratch3

conn = session.connect_cloud(project_id=“797826863”)

conn.set_var(“pencolour”, “0”)

but, when i run it, i get this:
