Using snap externally

Is it possible to use snap to perform actions externally

One way to do that is by using a web server. An external program, like python, can start a web server that snap can communicate with. Snap can send requests, that python (or another program) can use to run a certain command, such as running a command in minecraft.

Not really, unless you use a program that does all the hard work for you, like minecraft code connection.

# The Snap! API

Jens Mönig, Bernat Romagosa, April 05, 2022

This document describes how Snap! can be accessed from an outside program to start scripts, send and retrieve information. The model use case is embedding interactive Snap! projects in other websites such as MOOCs or other adaptive learning platforms.

This experimental Snap! API is a set of methods for an IDE_Morph containing a Snap! project. These methods are maintained to work with future versions of Snap! They can be used to trigger scripts, get feedback from running scripts, and access the project's global variables.

Currently the API consists of the following methods:

#### Navigate Scenes

* IDE_Morph.prototype.getScenes()
* IDE_Morph.prototype.getCurrentScene()
* IDE_Morph.prototype.switchTo()

#### Control Processes

* IDE_Morph.prototype.isRunning()
* IDE_Morph.prototype.stop()
