Connect Cloud Variables of a Scratch Project:

To connect the cloud variables of a Scratch Project use the connect_cloud_variables() function. Use the following program to connect the cloud variables of a Scratch Project:

import scratchconnect

user = scratchconnect.ScratchConnect("Username", "Password")
project = user.connect_project(project_id=1)
variables = project.connect_cloud_variables()
variables.variable_data(limit=100, offset=0)  # Returns the cloud variable data
variables.cloud_variable_value(variable_name="Name", limit=100)  # Returns the cloud variable value
# Program to set cloud variables:
set = variables.set_cloud_variable(variable_name="Name", value=123)  # Set a Cloud Variable
if set:
    print("Cloud Variable Updated!")

Encoding/Decoding Cloud Variables:

ScratchConnect v2.0 has some good features to encode/decode a cloud variable! See some examples below:

ScratchConnect has a case-sensitive encoding/decoding system. For example both 'A' and 'a' are encoded/decoded differently!

Go to this link for the Scratch version of Encoder/Decoder

Encoding/Decoding a string:

import scratchconnect

login = scratchconnect.ScratchConnect("Username", "Password")
project = login.connect_project(1)  # Connect the project

variables = project.connect_cloud_variables()  # Connect the project's cloud variables

encoded_string = variables.encode("Hi! This is a text!")  # Encode a string

variables.set_cloud_variable(variable_name='Name', value=encoded_string)
variable_value = variables.get_cloud_variable_value(variable_name='Name')[0]  # Get the variable value

decoded_string = variables.decode(variable_value)  # Decode a string

print("Encoded: ", encoded_string)  # Print the results to check
print("Decoded: ", decoded_string)  # Print the results to check

Encoding/Decoding a list:

import scratchconnect

login = scratchconnect.ScratchConnect("Username", "Password")
project = login.connect_project(1)  # Connect the project

variables = project.connect_cloud_variables()  # Connect the project's cloud variables

data = ['A', 'B', 'C']
encoded_string = variables.encode_list(data)  # Encode a list

variables.set_cloud_variable(variable_name='Name', value=encoded_string)
variable_value = variables.get_cloud_variable_value(variable_name='Name')[0]  # Get the variable value

decoded_string = variables.decode_list(variable_value)  # Decode a list

print("Encoded: ", encoded_string)  # Print the results to check
print("Decoded: ", decoded_string)  # Print the results to check

Connect a Scratch Forum:

To connect a Scratch Forum use the connect_forum_topic() function. Use the following program to connect a Scratch Forum:

import scratchconnect

user = scratchconnect.ScratchConnect("Username", "Password")
forum = user.connect_forum_topic(forum_id=1)
forum.id()  # Returns the id of the forum
forum.title()  # Returns the title of the forum
forum.category()  # Returns the category of the forum
forum.closed()  # Returns whether the forum is closed or not
forum.deleted()  # Returns whether the forum is deleted or not
forum.time()  # Returns the activity of the forum
forum.post_count()  # Returns the total post count of the forum
forum.follow()  # Follow a Forum
forum.unfollow()  # Unfollow a Forum
