Doesn't most usage of ScratchAttach violate the ToS?

[PPPDUD]

To quote Section 11.13 of the Scratch Terms of Service:

[You shall not] automatically or programmatically extract any data of the Service, including Output

Wouldn't this imply that most, if not all, usage of ScratchAttach violates the ToS, by virtue of programmatically-extracting data from Scratch?

1. Under these terms, you would also not be able to download projects, as you are not manually typing out all the bits of the projects and are instead using your browser to write output of the software to your computer.
2. Even if the usage of scratchattach wasn't allowed, the license of the project disclaims all liability if I am understanding correctly.

Agreed.

Yes, but I think that you should at least tell users that they are most likely violating the ToS by using ScratchAttach.

Yes, I agree, they should be warned of the risk of getting banned by accessing the API externally (the exact reason I got banned). I may start a PR on this

Out of curiosity, were you performing social interactions with the API or just looking at stuff?

I was using scratchattach to work with cloud variables. Repo here

I see, that makes sense.
