@011830-0a42ef84 oh nvm then i forgot

@011830-0a42ef84 Idk, i only made 2DGalaxyWorld i think. my account is prolly lost or something, but Im pretty sure I made that project public, so you can just search for it if you wanna play it. My old name mightve been JeffTheMasterr.

@011830-0a42ef84 Not anymore, but I’ll tell you when I use a friend’s

Also @Tyller_ , with CreatiCode, it’s almost never impossible to do (just about) anything, it’s just certain things would require a lot of code complexity and working/tinkering with it to get it right and doing what you want. And I’m actually a bit suprised that the CreatiCode page for a user doesn’t have the pfp url just right there in a

<img src="//example-creaticode-user-profile-picture.png" />

, considering they probably use PHP or NodeJS for the server/back-end, so stuff like that usually would just get put there in the page before being sent over to the browser or page getter. My guess is they probably use javascript afterwards to send a request to their own site to retrieve the profile picture of a user and then just put it right there in the good ol’ profile page:

Even then, it’s not impossible still, since you can always use external services. For almost any text value you need, you can make an API website to give it to you. Basically it’s just a website that instead of giving sites, it’ll just give some sort of string or a file sometimes, like going to this site (or using code to GET that site): https://api.fedidb.org/v1/stats will give you site statistics in JSON for how many people go on the Fediverse or Mastodon. There are many other cool APIs out there, like ones that return random fun facts, and then you can use that to create a fun fact generator project.

I might make a little API in the mean time with Replit that will use PHP and guzzle to get a page and act like a browser, and then search through the HTML, find what it needs to, then return it. When that’s done, you can just use the get page as markdown block (dw, the block doesn’t affect APIs unless they are returning HTML. Then, ta da! You can now get the profile picture of a user by their user id

@info-creaticode Thank you!

@jeffreyrb03-gmail

Sure. We will add that task to our list.

@info-creaticode I think that he meant to get the creaticode (not forums) profile picture, and that’s a good idea! I like that block, especially because it’d be way more efficient than the method I proposed, and would be very useful.

@tyller_ My school has very strict filters so no ufortunately

@tyller_

So if we add a new block “get profile URL for user [USER ID]”, then that’ll be good enough for you?
