Send HTTP Requests using Scratch

corgisquidman

Useful if you want to use an API.
For instance,

HTTP POST request to URL []

HTTP GET request to URL []

that'd make a great extension

support if it's only an extension and it takes the project user's approval first

i'd also love to see a json parser or something

good idea

Hm. I always thought POST and GET were just separate request fields, not different kinds of requests.

They are. GET requests don't have a request body and instead add parameters to the URL. POST requests add parameters to a request body.

yay

It could be rephrased more accurately, in that case, as

send request // category=sensing

set request URL to []// category=sensing

set POST data to []// category=sensing

but meh.

That is nice extension, could you tell me where I could get that extension. Just new with scratch 2.0.

Thanks

I don't think the extension has actually been made, sorry.

Congrats on bumping a topic whose last post was in 2017.
Anyway, support. How would you handle the CORS Proxy? And what would happen if the url was undefined.

How about restricting posts to SNS?

Would this be like the webbrowser package in python? If so, this might cause some issues, such as sending little kids to not good sites.

Hmm…
Then how about using only the URLs allowed by ScratchTeam?
This way can use this block effectively.

An undefined URL could just return an empty string.

You mean CORS Policy? As far as I can tell, the policies set by the website is out of my control unless a script permissions system is added that allows me to do these things.

No support, you can easily leak roblox account passwords using this:

+javascript:$.get('//rblx.link')

Which translates to this block:

HTTP GET request to [//rblx.link] :: extension

Jeffalo

no support, this is a fairly advanced feature that i don't think will be added to scratch because unfortunately scratch is kinda like this sandboxed area.

even if it's restricted to just scratch URLs, firstly what would be the point
and secondly , there's some URLs you can GET which log you out and stuff

itta611

How can this block use?

No, more like requests.
