I’ve been trying to use python for a game, and I figured out a way to connect to the cloud variables. However, whenever I try to do it, it says “ failed CONNECT via proxy status: 403”. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

No, we don't.

if you're using scratchattach there's a forum topic for it, you should ask there

I believe OP isn't using scratch attach, but just straight up trying to use the API

as to OP, you could use the API, but it'd be way harder (to note, you have to give scratch a valid security cookie or account to connect to cloud variables, and then there's a lot more things as well that has to be handled), instead, just use scratchattach as linked by makinggamesbad, its a python library which is made exactly for this purpose and functions quite well.

if op forgot that, it probably explains the 403 (forbidden)

I tried scratchattach but it said ConnectionError and I didn’t know how to fix it so I’m using a module called scratch cloud client.
