Hey, I am making a project that interfaces with the python server I made, but i do not know how to encode and decode the way I do it on scratch, because the scratch project encodes the username to be put on a cloud variable. The python server gets that data, but I need to decode! Please Help!

Make a GET request to https://clouddata.scratch.mit.edu/logs?projectid={PROJECTID}&limit=LIMIT&offset=OFFSET and turn it into json

You can also use the scratch client. The documentation is here.

Enjoy

I also have some docs on the wiki of the GH repo but they're not finished

import requests #install it by running "pip install requests"
r = requests.get('https://clouddata.scratch.mit.edu/logs?projectid={PROJECTID}&limit=LIMIT&offset=OFFSET')
vars = r.json()[0]
print(vars) # each item is a dict which looks like "{"user":"username","verb":"create_var","name":"☁ name","value":0,"timestamp":timestamp}"

What is “LIMIT” and “OFFSET”?

Limit is the maximum number of log items to show (up to 40), offset is the index of the first item (0 for the first LIMIT items, then LIMIT, 2×LIMIT, 3×LIMIT etc. for subsequent pages).

Why are you bumping? If you still need help, you need to explain what you are having trouble with or nobody will know how to help you.

I tried to decode a variable itself but I get:

But when I try a plain string of numbers, (In single quotes) It works. How do I fix this?

What was the value of the variable?

What value did you try to decode?

Sorry, It's working now. I got the values to decode from the API, but that function had a bug so it was returning blank. I fixed it and it's working now
Thanks!
