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).
An example of the Scratch API.

The Scratch API is an application programming interface which provides access to data stored by Scratch in a developer-friendly format. 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 Warning: Use the API responsibly and follow 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.

Some endpoints need an authentication token, which can be specified as a query parameter or header named x-token. The token can be obtained by making a GET request to https://scratch.mit.edu/session/ with the scratchsessionsid cookie set.

Requests with methods other than GET also need a header named X-CSRFToken, which must have the same value as the scratchcsrftoken cookie.

GET /

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