    @tyller_ I’m not sure either, probably because CreatiCode is a trusted site, so filters mistakenly trust the iframes too, but this doesn’t work against firewalls like blocksi or fortiguard. the project link I gave is a wip, but you can run it and it works

      @tyller_ this is also doing stuff to try to get metadata from a page like getting page titles by extracting the value of the title tag, as well as other stuff. If I can figure out more bypass things or make specific conditionals to parse page stuff, this could work like a real browser. It might even be useful for me to utilize AI blocks to extract stuff easier without using regex, but it’d be a bit annoying, might not work all the time, and might give out when too many requests get sent to it.

      I’m also planning to manually add support for sites like google

        Glad to see you are having fun with iFrames and serving as our red team. IFrames are very secure, so they shouldn’t leak any information. If you do find anything dangerous, please let us know.

          @info-creaticode I will, thank you! I’m also expanding this project to be like a full on browser and useful tool for researching (it will make article pages faster and have options to summarize using AI):
          fe10647b-2eff-4b54-8853-0e62a1c308c5-image.png
          I don’t think you guys have rules against proxies, but just so you know, this is only able to bypass faulty/defective blocking filters, and its purpose isn’t malicious or meant to aid people in getting around restrictions or otherwise act like a browser in a browser.
          Edit: I don’t think it can access inappropriate sites anyways because how the cloud fetch URL as markdown block works

            The following blocks have been added to the playground:

            1. “user id” in Sensing, which returns the unique id of the current user

            2. AI image search in “AI”: a reporter block that returns the URL of an AI-generated image from the library based on a search query. Note that this does not generate new images, but searches among existing images generated by AI, so it is much faster.

            beab9213-dfe1-434d-bf1b-111c9ee1aad0-image.png

            1. add image from a URL as costume in “Looks”. You scale down the image to a maximum width/height:

            Note that #2 and #3 can be combined to add an AI image as a costume:

                @info-creaticode an issue, I planned to get the pfp of users, I checked with two other accounts and in the url of each pfp there is a second random string of numbers 748b3137-9e16-49f0-8fc1-03d917893fc4-image.png, how would I get a user’s pfp, Ik it’s some file storage stuff, but I’m going to try to find a workaround, it’s just a minor annoyance

                  @tyller_ To get a user’s pfp, you have to read their profile page HTML using their user id and then parse some stuff to get their profile picture from there (since profile pictures are public and are shown on that page).

                  You can get the HTML of a page by using the thing to get a page as markdown but putting “view-source:” before the URL that you are going to read, and then doing some trimming by removing the unnessescary lines and stuff and then reading the src attribute of the profile picture image (wherever the pfp is normally located in terms of the HTML page structure).

                  I’m using a similar method to get the title of a website by getting a website’s source code (ex:“view-source:https://google.com”) then reading the content of the <title> tag for my iframe powered browser project. What you could do is join “view-source:https://play.creaticode.com/users/” and the user id, and then read that to a variable (using the cloud block read page as markdown), then look for wherever the profile pic image of the user is (should be near like the about me section) and then get the URL of that image by reading the src attribute. Then you can display that image (via its URL) to a widget.

                      @jeffreyrb03-gmail it doesn’t work likely because it’s loaded after, I used my source bookmarklet and holy, CreatiCode can you guys plsssssssss use some css files, I’ma check forum pfps for it

                      Edit: find in my view source has found it in regular user profiles, but it’s too big of a source for it to actually bother scrolling me all the way there

                      Edit 2: nvm it shows that theres 1 of 1 found, but scrolls me to the top, but searching for the tag which is probably around the pfp url is the same result

                        @tyller_

                        So you are looking for a block in the playground that would return the URL of the forum profile image of any user given their user id?

                        That’ll not be easy, since the forum is a third party software (NodeBB).

                              @info-creaticode I tried that, that’s what I meant when I said I couldn’t find the pfp in regular get page as markdown or going to the page and didn’t through view source, I tried control f but the view source I have is too big to scroll for me, I’ll try checking the fetched markdown source for the image url, I for some reason didn’t think to try that

                                @tyller_

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

                                  @info-creaticode I believe I’ve found aw way to get the pfp url, and a block like that would be a bit too specific while it would be generally useful for chat projects, but it isn’t neccasary

                                    @info-creaticode never mind what I said, I have found that the pfp is indeed not in the source of the user page, if you added a block like that it would be able to do what nothing else can do

                                      @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.
