Network blocks
Read data from web endpoints. Network blocks fetch text or JSON from a URL and place the result in a variable. Use trusted endpoints and handle failures.
What Network is for
Network blocks fetch text or JSON from a URL and place the result in a variable. Use trusted endpoints and handle failures.
The built-in Network category starts with 2 core block shapes and is expanded by the larger generated catalog, so you can learn a small vocabulary before exploring specialized variants.
Core blocks you will see
These names come from the current RC Blocks Studio catalog. Start with the first two or three and ignore the rest until your project needs them.
blocksfetch URL text into variable
fetch URL JSON into variableTry this tiny recipe
Build the smallest possible experiment so you can see what this category changes.
Use a URL that permits browser requests.
Fetch into a variable.
Display/log a small part of the result before building more logic around it.
How it becomes a real game
When the project is materialized, supported Network opcodes are compiled into the generated browser runtime rather than remaining visual-only editor decorations.
That means the same block idea can affect the full RC project when you Save and Run project.
