Hi i was wondering if anyone has an idea on how to put scratch API into a project. I have seen many people do it and i have an idea to use that for a project. If you dont know what scratch API is then go here https://en.scratch-wiki.info/wiki/Scratch_API

Sorry. I don't know. I think Google would be your best friend in this situation. I mean, there's no block called

 Connect With Scratch API ::variables

. Sorry I'd tell you if I knew.

I have but it doesnt tell you. Thx for the reply tho

Can you link to a project that uses it? I suspect it means working on Scratch files outside of Scratch so you have to know enough to do that.

The only way to communicate outside of a scratch project is through cloud variables. Variables can be read from and written to through Scratch's cloud API and you can write a script in another programming language that can access this API. Scratchers often use Python for this. You will also need to have this running constantly so you need a server for it too. Running it off your computer is an option and another is using an online service such as repl.it (though note that this example no longer works, Scratch blocked it).

Once you have all that solved, if you wanted to have other parts of the scratch API in a project, you can have your server do it and send that data through cloud to the project.
