I am not sure if someone has done this before, but this is a project that uses a custom block to grab any Scratchers follower count. It has to depend on the structure of the Scratch's HTML page, so if the website changes that a bit, it might stop working. But for now it works perfectly.
It updates every 5 seconds.
I just followed you on scratch and it is not updating
well its updating for me! :3 keep in mind it updates every 5 seconds-
ok it just updated but after 5 minutes
You could use the Scratch JSON API instead, as that will most likely never change.
Well, I've just figured out: yes, the count does change, but as I said, it relies on the website updating on time. So it can be very out of sync.
If I make a new version of this, I will use the Scratch JSON API, because that'll be a lot more accurate. >:3
Scratch has a JSON API? Tell me, how could I use it / find it? I couldn't find any good documentation on it.
Docs are on the Scratch wiki.
I ment that the API's layout wouldn't change very much, and can be easily read by Snap!
