Has anyone used the Scratch API for assets? e.g.
http://scratch.mit.edu.ezproxy.canberra.edu.au/internalapi/asset/510da64cf172d53750dffd23fbf73563/get/
as described here.

The number between asset and get in the URL should be the MD5 hash for a background image in a project which was retrieved from the project's json file using the project api which does work.
When I try and get a response from the asset API I just get a 404 Not Found exception. Has anyone used this api successfully?

Doesn't that vandalize the privacy of others?

How can it when it's not private?

Well, maybe the person has some private stuff, like some pictures that he/she made. That's just an example.

Well if it's shared its no longer private is it? If you want to argue about Scratch and its privacy policies then please do it on another topic.

It doesn't work for projects that aren't shared. So we're safe.

I used it in the original Pythonic snapin8r (the new one takes ZIPs instead).

Any idea why I get a 404 error for the api. The MD5 is taken from the json file for a stage backdrop in a shared project so I assume is correct.

You didn't include the .png or .svg or other extension. This is correct: http://scratch.mit.edu.ezproxy.canberra.edu.au/internalapi/asset/510da64cf172d53750dffd23fbf73563.png/get/ (it's white so you can't see it on a white background.)

@drmcw Did you include the extension?

I didn't add the extension! I did wonder about that but thought it odd to add .png or .wav etc. when the api implies it's purely md5. Oh well.
Thanks for your help.

Yes it's just a default project for testing. And there I was explicitly removing the extension as I thought it wasn't needed!
Thanks.

Yep. Just tried it and that works.
Thanks again.
