I am using allorigins win CORS proxy to make a simple Scratch profile thing. I am not sure why, but for some reason when I go to the Scratch API's message count page, it just responds with {“count”: 0} instead of the real message count. I tried this on griffpatch, who should have a lot of messages, and it still reported 0. I went in a new tab and went to the Scratch API Message Count page (without the proxy) and it showed the real message count of griffpatch. I think this problem may be on allorigins win's side, but then I would either need to figure out how to make a CORS proxy myself, or an alternative. This probably doesn't relate to Scratch but I am wondering if anyone with more expertise can help me. Also, if this makes any change, I am using Svelte with SvelteKit for this project.

This picture shows the response from allorigins win.

Thank you,
@god286.

Hi, as far as I know, this is not a bug, but a restriction put in place to prevent automated scripts (other than from the Scratch website) from getting message counts.

The button appears once the topic is 24 hours old. You can report it instead so a moderator can close it.
