Trying to learn how to do this type of stuff and I want to know how to make a POST request to follow a user's account.

In this case, replace the target with the person you're trying to follow, and yourname with your username. You will need to send a scratchcsrftoken along with that request to authenticate it's you.

fetch('put whatever URL inside these quotes', {'method': 'POST'});

That would make a GET request, not a POST request.



There are a few ways to make a POST request; a simple method is to use JavaScript's window.fetch() in the browser console:

fetch('put whatever URL inside these quotes', {'method': 'POST'});

curl -X POST https://scratch.mit.edu/site-api/users/followers/TARGET/add/?usernames=YOURNAME -H "Referer: https://scratch.mit.edu/" -H "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0"

I was just giving the url, not the necessary code to do it. You can also do it via a terminal command such as

curl -X POST https://scratch.mit.edu/site-api/users/followers/TARGET/add/?usernames=YOURNAME -H "Referer: https://scratch.mit.edu/" -H "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0"

but again you will need to provide a csrftoken to authenticate.

I have my crsf token saved somewhere i think, how do i provide it to the server?

const request = await fetch('https://scratch.mit.edu/site-api/users/followers/TARGET/add/?usernames=YOURNAME', {
    method: "POST",
    headers: {
        "Referer": "https://scratch.mit.edu/",
        "User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0",
        "X-CSRFToken": TOKEN HERE
    }
});

This can be executed via browser console correct?
