This article or section documents the current version of Scratch (version 3.0). For this article in Scratch 1.4, see Scratch API (1.4).

The Scratch API is an interface which provides access to various instances of data in a mostly programmer-friendly manner. It can be used in many different ways in order to create applications which can send and extract data to and from the Scratch Website. The address of the current Scratch API is https://api.scratch.mit.edu.

Note Caution: Use the API responsibly and in keeping with the Terms of Use. Abuse of the API may result in a ban.[1]

api.scratch.mit.edu Interface

The api.scratch.mit.edu interface is the latest revision of the Scratch API. It can be used to return various types of data regarding the Scratch website. This API can be accessed via the following URL. 

https://api.scratch.mit.edu

All endpoints that return an array accept query parameters named limit and offset, except /studios/<studio_id>/activity which only supports limit. limit is the maximum number of items in the response (up to 40). offset is the zero-based index of the first item in the response. For example, /users/mres/projects/142/comments?limit=3&offset=10 returns the 11th, 12th and 13th comment. The default limit is 20 and the default offset is 0.

The root of the api interface provides basic information regarding the API and the Scratch website.

Users

GET /user/<username>/

Returns information regarding the given user.


Example Request
GET https://scratch.mit.edu/api/v1/user/mres/
Example Response

Response 

{  
    "username":"mres",
    "userprofile":{  
        "bio":"...",
        "country":"United States",
        "status":"..."
    }
}


GET /user/set/<usernames>/

Returns information regarding the given users. Names should be separated with semicolons. The "userprofile" value for each user object is currently empty making this feature of the API effectively useless. One should note that the single user feature remains functional.


Example Request
GET https://scratch.mit.edu/api/v1/user/set/mres;ScratchCat/
Example Response

Response 

{  
    "objects":[  
        {  
            "username":"mres",
            "userprofile":""
        },
        {  
            "username":"ScratchCat",
            "userprofile":""
        }
    ]
}
