scratcher stats
Hey guys, If you look in the sensing section of the Panther part of the block library you will see some blocks shared by johnnydean1 and pecola1 that can report some of the stats of a scratcher. I was wondering if we could compile a list of available URLs that can be used for stats. Are there ones for "number of comments", "number of posts", "number of posts in forum[ ]"?
Here's what I have so far:
friends of user [ ]
http://scratch.mit.edu/api/getfriendsbyusername/username
authenticate user [ ] with password [ ]
http://scratch.mit.edu/api/authenticateuser?username=username&password=password
number of projects shared by [ ]
http://scratch.mit.edu/api/getnumprojectsbyuser/username
Any others people know of? One I'd really like to find is userswithfriend/username

The userswithfriend doesn't exist. 
You can find a list of the API functions here.

Re: scratcher stats
Well, as scimonster pointed out above, the Scratch Team compiled a list of API functions for us. The link he gave you is also perfect.
You should just be able to browse that to find the codes

Re: scratcher stats
thanks for the link! Does anyone else wish they could find out who's friend lists YOU are on? I've always thought friend is the wrong word for the scratch friendship system. Friend adding should be a request where both parties agree to the link. What we have here is watching...

Did you get that from my panther blocks? 
If you are reading this, please read to the end, because if you don't you won't know what's at the end. Don't just skip to the end though otherwise you won't be able to read the middle, which is most important. Now you must be wondering why you just read all that, the reason is you may have not noticed something, read it again and see if you notice it this time

I hope that will be in 2.0.
@Pecola1: Sparks used some of yours and found some more in the API list.
