API extension

One of my favorite parts of Python is being able to connect to APIs. How about we make an extension so you can connect to API's with scratch?

1.5 Social action reporter blocks
This block could be used to obtain the current number of loves, favorites, or views of the project. Similar blocks could return the number of loves or followers that the user or creator has. But, project creators can easily use these blocks to prevent Scratchers from playing unless the project is given enough loves, favorites, and the like. These blocks could also make people think that getting these social actions are important, or that Scratch is about fame. In reality, if a user presses the love button on a project, it should be because they enjoyed the project, not because they are trying to reach some sort of goal.

This suggestion extends to all social actions, including views, loves, favorites, remixes, comments, and followers.

What does PMing have to do with anything?

I was also thinking of a logo generator, and maybe a game that reflects the weather.

No support. I looked at the api of this project, and I saw this:

"stats":{"views":5496,"loves":66,"favorites":44,"comments":55,"remixes":54}

As you can see, the api has the amount of views, loves, and favorites of a project. If a project could access the api, they would be able to access it.

This already kind of exists with projects @isthistaken123 has made, but I guess it would be cool? I am neutral on this

Scratch is not social media though. Scratch is a beginner visual programming language.

Scratch API would be blacklisted

Support, when I first started scratch, I wanted to do something along these lines and found out i couldn't. Most languages have this (i think roblox does too ) and It would be cool to see.

So everything it can access is blacklisted? Because everything it can access is the scratch API.

*looks at suggestion*

Oh, any API. In that case, support.
