Does anybody have a list of every scratch account, implemented in a Scratch project? If not, is there a way to connect to Scratch's servers and make a game that shows usernames that aren't taken?

There is no list of all Scratchers.

Uhm, there’s like over a hundred thousand accounts (I think?).

That would most certainly crash any scratch project.

Is there a way to connect to Scratcher's servers through a project and get a username or two out of it? I've seen people create Ai using Scratch, and they needed to connect to ChatGPT servers.

Right..

You should look into scratchattach, i don't know if it'll help you but here's a link to some details https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/603418/?page=1

In theory you could check every single account possibility with the scratch api (api.scratch.mit.edu/users/USERNAME) and see if the page returns 200 or 4XX.

However, you shouldn't do this because:

• It will take a long time (at least for a computer) to generate every single possible username
  

• The scratch api might lock you out if you make too many requests, or a scratch moderator might block you from the api manually because they might think you're DDOSing it (and even if you don't intend to, that's basically what you would be doing)
  

• If you somehow don't get locked out, the scratch servers will be under a lot of stress, and may become temporarily unusable.
  

Remember this is theoretical. I'm not accusing anyone of anything.
Good day and I hope this helped

No because the only (easy) way to easily go through them all would be to go by User ID.

The only way to get a username from User ID is through a method which isn't allowed on Scratch.

Is it a coincidence this was asked a few days ago?

I don't know if there is a download anywhere for the Scratch Username Index, if not you could ask for it.

Otherwise you can use this 2-year-old dataset I created with half a million usernames: https://github.com/awesome-llama/scratch-usernames

That uses ChatGPT's API connected to some external program, which then takes and gives information to the project via cloud variables. Either that, or they just created a neural network inside Scratch (which is very much possible).
