scratchclient - A scratch API wrapper for python

Raihan142857

A few days ago I noticed there was no easy way to mess with scratch's API in Python so I created a python module to do this. https://pypi.org/project/scratchclient/

You can install it using

pip install scratchclient

Thanks to this npm package for the reference code and ilcheese2 for their modified version of my cloud code.

You can report issues on the (email removed by moderator - please don't share contact information) this topic, or my scratch profile.

Usage:
Basic usage:

from scratchclient import ScratchSession
session = ScratchSession("ceebee", "--uwu--")
# post comments
session.get_user("Paddle2See").post_comment("OwO")
# lots of other stuff
print(session.get_project(450216269).get_comments()[0].content)
print(session.get_studio(29251822).description)

Cloud connection:

from scratchclient import ScratchSession
session = ScratchSession("griffpatch", "SecurePassword7")
connection = session.create_cloud_connection(450216269)
connection.set_cloud_variable("variable name", 5000)
@connection.on("set")
def on_set(variable):
    print(variable.name, variable.value)
print(connection.get_cloud_variable("other variable"))

I havent made documentation yet because I'm lazy

so feel free to ask questions in this topic.

basically it takes raw BBCODE data from the api like this

 [color=red] nono word [/color]

and will show it like this

nono word

There's no API for the forums… I guess I can implement ScratchDB but that sort of defeats the purpose…

what I meant was getting posts using a get request

Oop, apparently I was wrong. I'll add it the next time I update it.

@Raihan142857 Can you include a list of ALL of the functions?

BTW I have my own github repo for interacting with scratch's api, but I would like to try yours. I made this thing with mine.

I'm going to add documentation later.
