Scratch User Status

main.py

import re
import requests

user = 'ninjamar'
r = requests.get(f'https://scratch.mit.edu/users/{user}')
c = ''.join([i.decode().strip() for i in r.iter_lines()])


iscratcher = re.compile("<span class=\"group\">Scratcher</span>")
isscratchteam = re.compile("<span class=\"group\">Scratch Team</span>")
isnewscratcher = re.compile("<span class=\"group\">New Scratcher</span>")

if iscratcher.search(c):
    print(f'{user} is a scratcher')
elif isscratchteam.search(c):
    print(f'{user} is on the scratch team')
elif isnewscratcher.search(c):
    print(f'{user} is a new scratcher')

wow thanks!

wow thanks!

your welcome

hey, I have one question:

c = ''.join([i.decode().strip() for i in r.iter_lines()])

how would this be in JS?

in nodejs or browser js?

nodejs 14

import fetch from "node-fetch"
console.log("starting");
(async () => {
	const user = "god286";
	const r = await fetch(`https://scratch.mit.edu/users/${user}`);
  
	const c = (await r.text()).trim();
	const iscratcher = new RegExp('<span class="group">Scratcher</span>');
	const isscratchteam = new RegExp('<span class="group">Scratch Team</span>');
	const isnewscratcher = new RegExp('<span class="group">New Scratcher</span>');

	if (iscratcher.test(c)) {
		console.log(`${user} is a scratcher`);
	} else if (isscratchteam.test(c)) {
		console.log(`${user} is on the scratch team`);
	} else if (isnewscratcher.test(c)) {
		console.log(`${user} is on the scratch team`);
	} else {
    console.log(iscratcher)
    console.error(iscratcher.test(c), isnewscratcher.test(c), isscratchteam.test(c))
  }
})();

doesn't seem to work.. why?

you need to iterate over EACH line and trim each line rather than the whole text. then turn this array into 1 string

I'm going to do that later

ok

Doesn't work 😭

import fetch from "node-fetch";
console.log("starting");
(async () => {
	const user = "god286";
	const r = await fetch(`https://scratch.mit.edu/users/${user}`, {
		headers: {
			"User-Agent": "Mozilla 5.0",
		},
	});
	const c = await r.text();
	let split = c.split("/n");
	for (let index = 0; index < split.length; index++) {
		split[index] = split[index].trim();
	}
	const iscratcher = new RegExp('<span class="group">Scratcher</span>');
	const isscratchteam = new RegExp('<span class="group">Scratch Team</span>');
	const isnewscratcher = new RegExp('<span class="group">New Scratcher</span>');
	iscratcher.test(split);
	if (user.search(iscratcher)) {
		console.log(`${user} is a scratcher`);
	} else if (user.search(isscratchteam)) {
		console.log(`${user} is on the scratch team`);
	} else if (user.search(isnewscratcher)) {
		console.log(`${user} is a new scratcher`);
	} else {
		console.error(
			iscratcher.test(split),
			isnewscratcher.test(split),
			isscratchteam.test(split)
		);
	}
})();

yay. please credit me with a link to this gist

argh... as soon as I thought I ported it to JS it decides to call everyone a scratcher

why are you doing user.search? i think this evaluated to if undefined. you need to use split.search/test instead.

elif isnewscratcher.search(c):
   print(f'{user} is on the scratch team')```

what

what

lol ops

TypeError: split.test is not a function
TypeError: split.search is not a function

isscratcher.search(split)

TypeError: isScratcher.search is not a function
don't worry I've switched to JSDom, thanks for your help though!! python seems quite cool for stuff!

ok. i think it might be isscratcher.test

import fetch from "node-fetch";
console.log("starting");
(async () => {
	const user = "god286";
	const r = await fetch(`https://scratch.mit.edu/users/${user}`, {
		headers: {
			"User-Agent": "Mozilla 5.0",
		},
	});
  console.log(r.ok)
	const c = await r.text();
	let split = c.split("/n");
	for (let index = 0; index < split.length; index++) {
		split[index] = split[index].trim();
	}
	const isScratcher = new RegExp('<span class="group">Scratcher</span>');
	const isScratchTeam = new RegExp('<span class="group">Scratch Team</span>');
	const isNew = new RegExp('<span class="group">New Scratcher</span>');
	isScratcher.test(split);
	if (isScratcher.test(split)) {
		console.log(`${user} is a scratcher`);
	} else if (isScratchTeam.test(split)) {
		console.log(`${user} is on the scratch team`);
	} else if (isNew.test(split)) {
		console.log(`${user} is a new scratcher`);
	} else {
		console.log("nothing found")
	}
})();

gives "nothing found"..?

The code doesn't seem to be replacing all occurrences of \n,\t,' ' with ``
